had Recently Gone to San Diego to Recover His Health—Heart Failure the Cause
The institution to which Dean Frank O. Marvin gave the greater part of his life will cease all of its activities while the funeral is being held at 3:00 o'clock Thursday afternoon. No classes will be held after 3:00 o'clock
The funeral will be held at the Plymouth Congregational church of which Dean Marvin said he was in a number of years. Rev Noble Strong Elderkin will officiate.
At a mass meeting of three dreded engineers in Hall a 11:20 this morning Will E. Browr appointed a member of the Student Council appointed a committee of ten men to handle the details of Dean Marvin's funeral. Those on the committee are: R. L.

A meeting of the Faculty of the tool of Engineering was held this morning and Professors M. E. Rice and A. Rice were appointed to decide on some floral design to be presented by the faculty of that school,
The flag at half-mast over the campus, which last week announced the death of Prof. L. L. Dyche, today tells students of the death of Professor Dyche's friend and comrade, Dean Frank O. Marvin, who passed away in California. Heart trouble was the immediate cause of his death.
Forty years of loyal devotion to the state's University is the record of Dean Marvin, and to him belongs the credit not only of upholding one of the strongest engineering schools in the country, but of being a dominant factor in the growth of the University as well.
Dean Marvin's influence literally touched thousands of young Kansas men who came to the University. The secret of his success is that he provided for each individual student, and his interest was sincere. That the young men reciprocated this devotion is shown by the bronze portrait which was obtained by the free offering in 1903. He graduated and is to be formally presented to the University in June.
Dean Marvin went to California about a month ago in the hope that his health would be improved by the change. Mr. Marvin knew of his death, as was also Prof. Ephriam Miller, former dean of the College of Liberal Arts.
It was largely through the influence of Dean Marvin that a chapter of the national scientific research society, Sigma Xi, was formed and the national president in 1010-11. In addition to his strenuous work at the University, Dean Marvin served as consulting engineer of the state board of health, and was an active member of the Kansas Academy of Science, and the Kansas Engineer-
Shortly after obtaining his master's degree from Allegheyn College, Dean Marvin came to the University of Kansas in 1875, serving as head of mathematics and physics departments. In 1883 he was made professor in the department of engineering and in 1891 became dean of that school. This position, he held until 1914, was an active work. Since that time he has been as advisory dean,
When the society for the Promotion of Engineering Education was organized, Dean Marvin took an active interest in this recognition of his service he was elected president of the society in 1901.
Although Dean Marvin received several seductive offers from other institutions he declined to leave Kansas.
Dean Marvin is survived by his widow, Mrs. Josephine Marvin and by a sister, Mrs. A. W. Wilcox. He was 62 years old.

She is the daughter of Judge W. D. Kelley, who for thirty years, until his death in 1890, was a member of Congress from Pennsylvania. He. He. He. became a leader of the ardent advocacy of a high protective tariff, with particular regard for that article. His daughter, after graduating from Cornell University, studied in Zurich and while abroad received him in this country some years later the court permitted her to resume her maiden name.

If you have moved, or if your address or telephone number in the student Directory is incorrect, call K. U. 25 and the Kansas will print a correction. Or drop the following in a University mail box:
On a high hill southwest of the business part of Lawrence, Kansas, stands an old, ramshackle, square building. It is built of stone and mortar and has a door. It was once plastered on the outside for there are some patches yet remaining. Great cracks are visible here and there in the walls. The building is two stories high, with a business part on the left and an entrance. Inside, the walls are covered with many coats of paint to hide the holes and patches.
From the lower hall you pass up a flight of creaking steps to the upper floor where there is a small auditorium and a classroom.
This is the School of Fine Arts at the University of Kansas. You would not have been so much surprised and you been told that it was an old repair shop or a haunted house but that they do design houses. But the opportunity for the student to develop his aesthetic culture among such surroundings!
But you ask: "Why is the Fine Arts housed in this old stone pile which ought to bear a granite tablet designating it as an ancient landmark?" "That is the question friends of the University have been asking for many years. The answer to this question is the answer to the question regarding the absurdity of a separate school." School of Medicine; lack of accommodations for the department of home economies, for the department of journalism, for the English and German offices; and the professors' low salaries.

MILL TAX RESOLUTION IS INTRODUCED INTO HOUSE
Authorizes Legislature to Make Permanent Levy for Upkeep of Educational Institutions
WILL GO TO PEOPLE IN 1916
If Bill Passes Both Houses Will be Considered as Amendment at General Election
DOESN'T LIKE COMMISSIONER
Dean Olin  Thinks School Affairs Should be Kept Out of Politics
The proposal to administer schools in cities of the first and second class through the regular city commission is an unwise move according to Dean Arvin Oln of the School of Culinary Arts. The city's power has been introduced into the legislature by Representative T. M. Van Cleave, of Kansas City.
"The service required is too delicate and too highly specialized to be cared for through the hurly-burly of partisan city politics," said Dean Olin this morning in discussing the new bill. "Popular elections may well pass on general qualifications of citizens, but the specific election can determine the relative merits of a matter requiring such expert service."
Only two cities in the United States have tried the experiment, San Francisco and Buffalo, and the California has given up the idea after a trial.
A plan to abolish city school boards and place the schools under the city commission in first and second class cities of Kansas was presented to the house by T. M. Van Cleave of WynnDOT county yesterday.
Must be Qualified
The bill consolidates the office of commissioner of parks and boulevards and commissioner of streets into one department and makes one member of the city superintendent of schools. The bill fixes some special qualifications in teaching and school work for this commissioner before he is eligible to become a commissioner. If so, it will be impossible to get an experienced man for the place.
The only objection that has been offered to the bill is that the cit commissioners in some of the cities might try to play politics in the appointment of teachers and junior$_{s}$ in the schools.
WHISTLE COSTS ONE CENT A TOOT
Takes Money to Stop Professor
It costs the University $18 a year to tell your professor when he ought to stop talking—though it doesn't seem to do much good sometimes. And the owner house whistle costs a cent according to the arithmetic of the Kansan.
It takes about five pounds of steam, to blow the whistle twenty seconds, the man who pulls the rope tells us. You think the stoker骂 not kid about that, but it takes nine thousand pounds of steam for the work. If every student got his share of the steam, he would have slightly over three pounds.
MISSION CLASS TO STUDY
JOHN R. MOTT'S BOOK
"The Present World Situation" is the title of John R. Mott's latest book, "The scope of the situation is so vast, its conditions so complex, the undercurrents lie so deep and move so quickly that none but a man of scholarly mind, of the large grasp of knowledge, of the grand picture world movements could venture on a characterization of it," say the publishers.
The study of this book will be one
of the few offered in the mission
study classes new to campus.
Mise Hendry Goes Home
Holiday Friday
**EVENTORY**
*Lena Heardy, freshman*, College, living at 1208 Mississippi street, went to her home in Kingman, yesterday because of the serious illness of her father. She will not be in school until next fall.
All classes will be dismissed Friday, February 12, Lincoln's birthday.
Grades are being given out at Registrar G. O. Foster's office.
The resolution asking for a mill tax amendment to the constitution of Kansas was introduced into the house of representatives yesterday after-
Included in this resolution is a passage authorizing the legislature to levy a permanent tax on the property of the state for the support of its educational institutions. The levy would not prevent other appropriations when the needs of the institutions demanded it.
The bill was introduced through the efforts of the Alumni Association of the University working with the student body to establish educational institutions. A two-thirds vote is required to pass the bill. If the bill gets through the legislature successfully, it will be submitted to the people of the state at a general election. If not, the majority of the votes cast for it at this election will make the bill a law.
The alumni associations of the dif-
ferent institutions will continue the campa-
ge for alumni.
"Now is the time for the students who wish to help the work on the mill tax to do a great amount of effective work," said a member of Interlibrary Loan's team training. We would like to have every student in the University write to the senator and representative from his or her county and ask them to support the campaign. "We can go this go to the men personally asking for the support of the campaign."
"More than this the men and women of the University can create the proper feeling toward the mill tax among the people of their communities over the state and do a double work. No legislator will work against it, but some lawmakers are favorable to it. The work now in the community will begin the work to get the proper decision on the bill when it comes before the people in 1916."
PUBLICITY CLEANS SPORT
University of Kansas Physical Director Draws This Conclusion From Answers to Letters
"Publicity in the newspaper will eliminate 'dirty' playing and unsponsalmanlike rooting in athletic contests," declared Dr. James Naismith. "Publicity is the reason Kansas yesterday, "Let a newspaper say that a yell-leader is inefficient and he will brace up or public sentiment will freeze him out. Let the press censure a foul play or a 'yellow suit' that disappeared." Doctor Naismith continued.
Such a point of view was reached by Doctor Naismith following the receipt of answers to letters from men identified with college athletics in the Missouri Valley. He had previously sent out inquiries to ascertain in what degree the press may influence the conduct of players and rooters.
Many who answered the letter substantiated the view held by Doctor Naismith, although few newspaper men acknowledged his communication. Answers were received from three university presidents; two university presidents. A full report will be made to the Intercollegiate Association when completed.
