TENTED ON MUSEUM SITE
While Student, Cooked Own Food Under Canvas Where Now Stands Great Memorial
Prof. Lewis Lindsay Dyche,鱼 and game warden of Kansas and curator of the zoological collection in college library at 3:45 ocked yesterday afternoon.
Stormtown hospital in Topeka, following an attack of heart disease. Professor Dyche had been for a while not condition was not considered serious and his death came as a shock
to his friends. His family, who
realized his serious condition shortly
before hi, death, were with him at
the time $c$ is death.
Two w  o  ago Professor Dyche was bitte , a Gila monster at the state house but the physician who attended him at his death stated that this bite had nothing to do with his death.
Born in West Virginia
Professor Dyche was born in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, March 20, 1857 and was three months old when his parents moved to Kansas and settled on the banks of the Wakarusa creek. There he spent a year. It then here he spent biboyhood. Tara is an old story to the effect that soon after locating here his mother became seriously ill and he was nursed by an Indian woman. As the boy she shook up and down by undergoing up and across the banks of the Wakarusa and across the prairies always accompanied by four large yellow dogs.
The story is also told of how, at the age of twelve when he could neither read nor write, some friends twitched him upon his ignorance and he immediately entered the preparatory department of the University. Thrown entirely upon his own resources he was compelled to live in a tent where the Museum is now located to serve his own coaching later, when a professor in the University, he made this Museum famous by the collection of mammals he made from every corner of North America.
It was in the capacity of an explorer and collector for the University that he became famous. In 1893 his collection was taken to the Columbian exposition in Chicago and owed $5,000. In 1896 $5,000 and contained a specimen of every mammal in North America except a musk ox. The loyalty of the collector to the University was proved again and again. One time, for example he was offered $5,000 for some specimens obtained by him, which he insisted for a private collection but he refused the offer without a second thought.
Rescues Commodore Peary
Of all of his two score or more expeditions the most famous was his rescue of Commodore Robert E. Peary in the far north. When about to start on an expedition on his own ship, he encountered an American Museum of Natural History in New York asking him to lead the party that was about to go in search of Peary. The partyailed from Gloucester, Mass., May 16, 1807, to Nantucket, Massachusetts, Hope and, after an adventurous trip, Peary was found and brought back.
Appointed Game and Fish Warden
Professor Dyche was appointed fish and game warden of the state by Governor Stubbs in 1909. At the time he was offered the appointment he stated his theory of stocking Kansas streams with fish and ascertained that he could maintain on the condition that he could still remain on the faculty of the University. Since his appointment he has put over a quarter of a million of fish in Kansas streams and has enlarged the Kansas fish hatchery from fourteen acres if it is the largest institution of its kind in the world. He was an advocate of the growing of fish to combat the high cost of living, and again and again stated that an acre of water would grow more pounds of fish than acre of ground could produce pounds of beef or

Professor Dyche married Miss
4. 1884. His wife and four children survive him. The children are: Walter, who is in business in Lawrence; Lewis Lindsay, who is a sophomore in the University; George, a student in Lawrence high school, and Ruth, who is also a student in the University. The funeral services will be held at 3 o'clock Saturday. Ophelia Axtell, of Sterling, October

Dyche Believed Cook Reached North Pole
Reached North Pole
Professor Dyche always believed Dr. Frederick A. Cook reached the North Pole. Doctor Cook followed Dr. Frederick A. Cook with "Learn to live on walrus blubber; dress as the Esquimaux, and establish food caches to fall back upon." Professor Dyche was confident that he made the discovery Cook did likewise.
Dyche and Peary were never the friends that they should have been after the rescue. Peary desired a deep quiet about the rescuing expedition and Dyche threatened to put Peary in irons after Peary had incited the accompanying scientists against Dyche. In Peary's successful trip to the police he followed faithfully the voice of his success was largely due to this.
One time while spending the summer hunting bear in New Mexico, Professor Dyche and his party heard a crackling in the brush and were suddenly confronted by a whole drove of bears. He afterward said that they offered them one at a time but when they fled, flocks he knew the wise course was to stand aside. He stood aside and didn't get another shot all summer.
In 1894 with a party of scientists including Doctor Cook, Professor Dyce was aboard a ship that was wrecked off the coast of Greenland. The ship sank but all the party was saved.
At another time while shooting mountain goats in the Rockies a fine specimen jumped off a precipice in order to escape him and Dyche made the rocks ring with a "Rock Chalk" given in the goat's honor.
Dyche's Death Shock to University--Dr. Strong
"The sudden death of Prof. L. L Dyche in Topeka last night was a great shock to all of us here at the University. He has been for many years one of the best known of the explorers who have lived his life has been full of picturesque and even thrilling experiences. He has made twenty-three scientific expeditions including the Peary relief expedition to Greenland and has hunted all over North America from Mexico to Alaska, securing for the University of Alaska a new position as best collections of large North American mammals in the world.
"Professor Dyche was for long years a teacher in the University of Kansas, his first appointment on the permanent teaching force having been made in 1883. He early came to the profession as a scientist and has never lost his interest in his chosen work. He was made Professor of Systematic Zoology in 1880. Since 1909 he has been on leave of absence in order that he might develop and put upon a sound scientific and economic basis the work of the fish and game business of husbandry with the fisheries industry and Professor Dyche's many personal friends will feel a distinct loss."

The combined efforts of a brigade of students and instructors, each one using a different means of separation, are checked in time for the next classes.
SMOKES GOOD, EATS FINE,
BUT MIXER PROGRAM BEST
Every Feature of Third Year Even a Success—Make Start on Memorial
The juniors mixed and smoked—one hundred and fifty of them—in the most successful class mix held by that class last night in Eagles' Hall. The eats were good, so were the smokes, and the non-smokers say the Hersheys were excellent, but the program was the best.
Prof. H. F. Harrington, of the department of journalism, led off by telling how he should start his speech for some time, then getting serious, talked of the Annual, and the destigibility of the juniors getting their pictures in it. He was followed by E. A. Blackman with two Hoosier readings from Riley. In Blackman's hailed from Indiana saw the cross roads philosopher with his feet on the tobacco-suit covered stove.
Then the memorial, through the person of Harry Shinn, chairman of the memorial committee, got the committee to begin. The committee will start at once on a memorial.

Y. M. TO BOOST EMPLOYMENT
Bulletin to be Issued Telling of Students Working Way Thru K. U.
The University Y. M. C. A. will issue an employment bulletin shortly after the end of this semester as was done last year. The facts contained in the bulletin students while attending the University will be obtained enrollment day. This plan was followed last year but many of the students did not fill out the blanks furnished by the Association of College Students some accuracy in the fixtures obtained.
The state thought the facts of such importance as to be worthy of publication and the little bulletin of last year was printed by the state, 2500 copies being issued. The state may issue the bulletin again this year. It will contain much the same material as last year.
Figures on the amount of work done, the average wages paid, the number of students who are doing work to help in paying expenses, and other matters of interest will be found in the booklet.
FRESHMEN WOMEN NOW
PUT ON BEST BEHAVIOR
According to K. H. Lott, president of the Oklahoma club which will hold a mixer in Myers Hall tomorrow night, any Oklahoma who has a date for the basketball game should have his name written with him to the mixer. Arrangements have been made to accommodate all Oklahoma and dates.
All next week the freshman women must be on their best behavior and show off before their instruction. They should "curtsy" and go through their exercises to show how well they can articulate and coordinate their muscles. Then on Wednesday and Friday the freshmen will work in three-inch bandage and bandage three women as they have been shown to in the hygiene lectures.
Ring Dates to Mixer
During quiz week the Gym will be open every morning so any women having cuts can come and make them up.

"Music is a human need, not a luxury," says Mrs. Powell, and her tour is a plea for national free instruction in music, believing that music is just as much a need of the people as instruction in mathematics or science. Practically all the European countries make an annual appropriation for the dissemination of music among the people or for the
Mrs. Powell will divide her program in two parts, the first a lecture on the theme "Music as a Human Need," and the second consisting of an exposition of "Types of Music for Types of Mind," with vocal illustration. She will show the German, Hungarian, Italian, French, Spanish, and Irish types of music linking the typical music of the country with the type of mind of the people.

NEBRASKA HERE TOMORROW FOR TWO BASKETBALL GAMES
Cornhuskers are Having a Winning
Streak and Will Play Kansas
Hard
A capacity crowd for Robinson Gymnastics is expected to watch the first game of the Nebraska series to be played tomorrow night by Captain Dunmire's hustling five. The 26 to 19 defeat administered by the Cornhuskers in their home court by the Cornhuskers, puts the game in the rank of a Missouri Valley championship affair. Another victory for the Huskers tonight and Kansas may expect a team full of the Nebraska winning spirit, determined to put their hate rivals the Nebraska away, out of the champion ship race.
Coach Hamilton put the squad through their final hard workout last night. All of the men are in good shape with the exception of Apple, substitute forward, who suffered a broken hip and had his scrimmage with the freshmen. He will be able to play by tomorrow night.
A scoreboard, nearly four feet square, has been ordered to replace the present small one. It will be used for the Nebraska series. The numbers on the new board will be of as much as he is likely seen from any part of the floor.
No definite lineup for the game
been announced by Coach Hammitt.
ANNUAL WORK CENTRALIZEF
Plates are Made and Printing Done Within Two Blocks of Each Other
Down in Kansas City, within two blocks of each other, two immense business concerns are hard at work on preparations for publishing the 1915 Jayhawker. The Burger Engraving Company and the Union Bank Note Company are collaborating in the work. In the Burger plant, men hurry about etching and photograving machines are kept busy, but the staff members utilize the annual. Mennowwhile, across the way, a force of skilled printers and artists are hard at work designing and making ready for display the printing in the book which the Union Bank Note Company will do.
"It is a great convenience to have the two firms so close to us," said Editor Leon Harsh in speaking of the matter. "We can confer with other firms to make a quick trip to the city, and they are enabled to carry out our directions fully. There will be no confusion in transporting the material for the book from one plant to the other, and we feel that no cuts were made in the cargo load, as formed it happened during the rash printing days."
Possible for Arnold to Re-enroll It is not yet known whether Hiat Arnold, the freshman who broke the K. U. discus record last fall and was elected to the varsity semester or not. It has been arranged with the Dean Olin Templin, of the College, so that he can re enroll next term if he wishes.

DELAYED EXPRESS
MUSEUM DISTRESS
Tom Cat Spoils en Route
Some time ago the Museum received the following communication along with a package which smelled strong even before it was opened. It read as follows with the original spelling:
Haddam Kansas
Please texdermid this package and return C. O. D. and I will pay all charges to express agent. John Lindsey. Haddam Kans
When the package was opened it was found to contain what had once been an undoubtedly fine specimen of a tom cat but as there had been some delay in the matter of shipment it became evident that Mr. Lindsey was accordingly ratified and the Museum received the following letter in answer:
Haddam
Kansas, Feb
Dear sir, you say you cannot

JUNIORS ARE PHOTOGRAPHED
Nearly 200 Have Indicated Willingness to Appear in Jayhawker
Seventy-five juniors have already had their pictures taken for the junior section of the Jayhawker according to Squires and more than 100 others, whose pictures according to E. M. Johnson and Ross Busenbark, managers of the junior section. Many who have taken their pictures are people who have not signed a note so it is considered that there must be around 50 of them who have definitely showed their intention of going in on the proposition.
The junior managers realizing that there are yet many who have not had the proposition explained to them and who have not been given an opportunity to sign up for the pictures have decided to appoint additional members to the committee in order that every junior may be seen at the meetings before the first of February. These additional members are Leah Jennerson, Mary Russell, Adel Bischoff, Alice Coors, Leonora Jennings, Pearl Sitzler, Helene Thomas, Paul Slatterly, George Rathert, Lawrence Cole, Edward Tanner, Lawrence Engle, and Paul Diehl. Those previously on the committee besides manager Bruce Buckwell and Johnson Merry Stillwell, Landry Cole, Joseph Hill, Neil Cline, Arthur Templin, Ida Perry, Nell Kennedy, Blanche Mullen and Maureen McKernan.
Juniores need not wait until they have signed for a picture but can have them taken at any time and they are the managers at the Jayhawk office.
