Marvin Hall was built to house the School of Engineering in 1997 at a cost of $90,000. The building was named in honor of Dean F. O. Marvin, who died recently.
Tales Out o' School
Prof. Arthur J. Boynton's class in banking had veered from their subject, the other day, and were discussing the first winter that the Pilgrims, who came over in the Mayflower, spent in America. William Woolsey, a junior in the College, volunteered the information that our fore fathers early from the Pilgrim settlement Professor Boynton immediately wanted to know "why," and William sagely answered, "because it was so cold."
Neil F. Cline, middle Law, was in the Kansas office not long ago when he discovered that he had no lead pencil. Cline needed a pencil badly, so he cast his eyes on the tables until he found one that some student had left. Of course, Cline took the hardest. And he talked about to them if into the sharpening machine when he saw the following inscription on it: "Stolen from Central National Bank." Cline decided that he would write with a pen.
Prof. Merle Thore, head of the department of journalism, of the University, went to Milwaukee, Wis., the other day, to address the Wisconsin Editorial Association. When the chairman arose to introduce him to the editors of the Badger state, he said: "There is some doubt in my mind as to just how I should introduce this speaker. I do not know where I am present him as Dean Thore, Professor Thore or just plain Mr. Thore. Perhaps like my friend, a gentleman from the South, did Booker T. Washington, I should speak of him as Professor. After Booker T's rise to fame the southerners were at a loss to know how they should address him. We caret about his ning of more', they decided, 'and we certainly won't call him Mister.' So after much thought they agreed to call him Professor."
Frank A. Wocknitz, fresman College, believes that he is carrying too much adipose tissue, so he recently decided to begin going without breakfast. Frank boasted to his friends that he would never feel the worse for it, and every morning he was conspicuous absent from the breakfast table of his club. Just when his friends were beginning to compliment him on his self-denial, some of them happened to be in their house, whom should they see but Wocknitz, almost hidden by a huge pile of porter-house smothered in onions.
Tales in this column do bring results. Having been reminded that Lent begins February 17, Vera Blackburn, sophomore College, has decided to dance, or picture shows or the theatre, depending upon which field is the least productive of dates, until the season of self-denial is over.
The upperclassmen of the Sigma Nu fraternity furnished entertainment for a large number of students Monday evening when they put the bible on the chapel, the brotherhood, through the paddling machine. Armed with two substantial paddles each, the older brothers formed a double line on the campus, just across the road from Myers Hall, and forced the shipper to move the building in line. Each member of the verdant class was started by a whack with a flat board, and as he ran by the members of the line each member swatted him. Clouds of dust from many buildings entered the Oread street and the groans of the tortured victims kept the Pi Phis giggling until 9 o'clock.
According to the testimony of a senior woman Prof. Herman Douthitt, of the department of zoology, is the hardest man on the Hill to find. He was one of the few more than a week to see the professor in order that she may be enrolled
in the class in ornithology, which he is conducting, and has, as she puts it,
"chased him from his office to his home, from his home to his laboratory, and from the laboratory to half a dozen other places," but all in vain. He then ran up to the front porch of his residence indefinitely, at least she says that she will hold down her post until the bird man shows up.
When the laboratory psychology class which meets at 1:30 o'clock on Mondays and Wednesdays, convened for the first time after enrollment, it was discovered that there were only two men and about fifteen women in the group of four. In groups of two, the men decided that it was only fair to scatter their wisdom as far as possible, so each chose a woman for a partner.
A student in the class in Oral Interpretation was practicing upon the assignment, "The Discovery of America," by the author and had to place in the poem where the mariners are about to land and alight from the vessel, "Alight, alight, alight, alight," boomed the apostle of Demosthenes, and he shamed himself running up stairs, each bringing a handful of matches.
Mrs. May Granger, age 54, mother of Marshall Granger, graduate student in economics, died Tuesday at her home, 909 Tennessee street. The funeral was held this afternoon. Burial was in Oak Hill cemetery.

Not Their Fault
At a recent social affair the talk, according to the Philadelphia Telegraph, turned to sentimentalism, when Congressman Edward Glimore of Massachusetts was reminded of a story about Uncle Josh.
Uncle Josh was comfortably light-
ing his pipe in the living-room one
evening when Aunt Maria glanced up
from her knitting.
"Josh," softly remarked the good woman, "do you know that next Sunday will be the twenty-fifth anniversary of our wedding?"
"Nothing." answered Aunt Maria,
"only I thought maybe we ought to kill them two Rhode Island Red chickens."
"You don't say so, Marial!" respond- unsc. Uncle Jake pulling vigorously on his ulcer.
"Say, Maria," impressively demanded Uncle Josh. "how can you tell?" Rhode Island Red chickens for what happened twenty-five years ago?"
Wrote Book For Fun
MANY COURSES OFFERED
AT K. U. SUMMER SCHOOL
Dr. John K. Scott, who until his retirement in 1910, was professor of elocution at the University of Missouri, has just published a book, "The Technique of the Speaking Mind," which will illuminate teachers of elocation and to libraries. No copies will be placed on sale as Dr. Scott says that he only wrote the book as recreation and has no desire to make money out of his work.
"Dear Sir," wrote the anxious mother, "I am afraid Johnny is not try- ing to deal with me."
Six Men from Other Institutions Will Aid Kansas Professors
"Dear Madam," replied the har-assed teacher, "I assure you that Johnny is quite trying enough. He is the most trying boy in the class."
One hundred and twenty-five courses from 41 different departments will be offered in the two branches of the 1915 Summer Session at the University of Kansas, according to the announcement of Dean Robert W. Bannister that six weeks will open June 10 and run until the 21st of July. On the following day the short three week course will begin. Students are allowed to register in but one subject during the second division but may change it to any other subject if it possible to obtain nine hours credit during both sessions.
In addition to members of the University of Kansas faculty, six men from different institutions throughout the country will conduct courses in Lawrence this summer. Among these are President Duncan McEachran of Washburn College and George Ford University. Professor Carruth is the author of several text books and also of "Kansas in Literature."
Several new departures have been made in the selection of subjects. A course in anatomy, by Dr. John Sundwall, will enable medical students to get this difficult subject off their hands during the vacation and devote themselves to the studies during the regular college year. The medical courses will probably be increased next year if this year's enrollment shows an interest. Six regular law school subjects have been announced and any student may carry two of these. Crimes, Torts, Agency, Insurance, Wills and Personal Property. Junior Green of the Law School will instruct in Wills and Agency.
The physical education department will offer a course in the principles of coaching basketball and track athletics which will be open to high school teachers who find it necessary to teach other subjects, Dr. Alice Goetz will also offer a course in swimming open to women only.
The Summer Session Kansan will be published under the direction of Professor Flint's classes in Journalism. Students will do all the practical work on both the business and ditorial side of the paper.
Scientific German Changes
The course in scientific German (German 6) will meet in Administration 203 at 10:30 o'clock instead of Marvin 103 at 9:30 o'clock as an additional hour course and not a five hour course and not a five hour course listed in the engineering schedule
JAYHAWKERS TO HAVE HARD TIGER BATTLE
Hamilton Says Missouri Basket Ball Men Play Faster Than Ever
"The Jayhawker basketball quintet is going to have two very hard battles with "Missouri," predicts the team. The Tiger-Missouri Hamilton went to Manhattan Tuesday to watch the Tiger-Aggie battle and after seeing the Missouriians defeat the Farmers by a 26 to 15 score, the Farmers' ability is considerably improved.
"The Tigers play a much faster game than they generally do," he said, "and they played cleaner than I ever saw them play before. They were more scientific, and undoubtedly have the best team they've produced in the last eight or nine years. They are going to make us go someplace." "We'll need to suffer less we suffer from another sudden slump, such as the one at the time of the first Aggie game on the home court."
Last Home Games
The two games with Missouri, on Friday and Saturday of this week, are the last home games of the season, and will practically decide the Missouri Valley Championship. Missouri has not lost a conference game this year, and the Jayhawkers have won their second in two of the Tiger games, the Valley Championship will be secure. Seats for the games are now on sale at Manager Hamilton's office, and at Allie Carroll's downtown.
Following the two games here this week, the Crimson and Blue warriors will make a trip to Columbia State University to meet with Missouri and Washington University. The Washington games close the season.
Couldn't Remember It All
Little Robert, says an exchange,
rushed into the kitchen one day and
asked his mother what kind of pie
she was making.
"Lemon meringue pie," she answered.
The little fellow disappeared, but presently returned. "Mamma," he asked, "what did you say is the pie's middle name?"
