Far Less Than Usual Number on Hill This Year Due to Europe's
There is to be a graduate famine at the University of Kansas in 1915. No, no, senior, don't get excited, it's a glass graduate famine and it's worrying Professors Cady, Dains and company to no small degree.
Some time ago the department of chemistry gave an order for a shipment of graduate tubes, the price to be $18 on the shipment. Just before departure, it was to be killed in the department was notified that the price must be $175. The European war is assigned as the reason, for practically all etching and marking on the graduates is done by skilled European ambassadors. But when we continue, till it will be impossible to get any chemical equipment at all.
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, who was severely injured this summer while stepping off a street car, is expected to return to Lawrence the first week in October. He has partly recovered from his injuries and is able to meet his classes after Christmas. Professor Bailey is now in Detroit.

LAWS ARE LESS NUMEROUS
Enrollment Shows Decrease of Twenty-Five From Number Taking Work Last Year
So far, the enrollment in the School of Laws shows a decrease of twenty-five students, as compared with that of last year. Last year 184 were enrolled, whereas only 159 have entered this fall. Uncle Jimmy Green, Dean of the School of Laws, said that the students are entering the courses each day and that there is a possibility of the present number being swelled to more than last year's number. This semester there are fifty seniors, fifty-one middle, thirty-one seniors and twenty-seven un-
seniors. In addition, forty-sixteen-five junior, thirty-eight middle, and thirteen unless and specials.
"Three of our students have been lost already on account of the war," Dean Green said this morning. "Two students are missing on account of conditions at home."

MEDIC BUILDING PLANS ARE NOW UNDER WAY
Legislature Must Pass on Disposal of Robinson Estate Before Work Starts
HOSPITAL TO REMAIN AT K. C.
Medies Will Still Spend Last Two Years at Rosedale Branch of School
Architects are preparing plans for the new Medic Building at the University of Kansas. While this is so, it does not insure a new building at once, as the next state legislature must pass on the disclosure of the esse consortia, and so on, which will eventually go toward the erection of the new building.
Governor Robinson, the first governor of Kansas, was a physician. When he died, his estate passed to his wife, with the understanding that upon her death, it was to go to the University of Kansas for the oceeneer and during the School of Medicine. Mrs. Robinson died last year and the estate must be disposed of before the University will benefit from it.
Administrators Disagree
The opinions of the people in charge vary, some desiring to sell the property outright, devoting the proceeds to the new building, who would borrow money from borrow money on the property and put up the building on borrowed capital. The estate has an income of between $7,000 and $10,000 a year and this would pay off the interest on the loan as well as pay off the debt on the loan in twenty years.
In case the state legislature decides the matter in its next session as it is expected to do, and work starts on the new building at once, a long felt want will be filled, according to the faculty of the School of Medicine.
The Rosedale branch will be continued after the new building is completed and the last two years of the building will be written off on there as it has been in the past.

GIVES REASONS FOR STUDY OF SCRIPTURES
"For Sake of Education, Morals, Mind, Spirit and Ideas"
—Goodman
DINGMAN'S MINE MAY HAVE TO CLOSE WAR
Fifth, for the sake of his ideals,
since Jesus announced a revolutionary ideal of life which is wholly contrary to the natural bent of unaided human nature—the supremacy and final victory of selfishness.
Fred S. Goodman, chairman of Bible study work in the W. M. C. A. of the United States, has outlined the reasons why a student should study the Bible. The churches of Lawrence and the University of Colorado have also listing his reasons in the Bible study campaign now in progress on the Hill.
Fourth, for the sake of his spirit life, since there is no literature which so fully satisfies soul hunger as the records of the experiences of great men with God, which are found in the Scriptures.
First, for the sake of his education, since the Bible is universally recognized as the greatest religious classic in all literature.
See Supplies Carried on Mules
The European war is affecting K. U. graduates all over the world. Oscar Dingman, last year's president of the graduate mining engineer, writes from Honduras that the mine in which he is employed may have to shut down because the war has deprived trade conditions in Central America.
Dingman is 180 miles back in the interior and makes the trip on a burro. He remarks that "it is rather slow going." All the supplies for the mine are carried in on mule trains and this accounts a great deal for the high cost of mining in Central America, Dingman says.
Mr. Ellis B. Noyes, '74, has given his library of Civil Engineering books to the engineering library of the University. A number of new Electrical Engineering books from Electrical Engineering have also been added to the library this year.

LAWRENCE WATER BAD;
M.D.'S WILL VACCINATE
Dr John Sundwall Advises Students to Take Precautions Against Typhoid
The University School of Medicine will soon be prepared to vaccinate all students who desire to have the serum administered against typhoid fever. Dr. John Sundwall called attention to the condition of the larvae and stressed that advised all students to take the precaution of vaccination.
"The value of vaccination as a preventative measure is known to practically everyone." said Doctor Sund wall this morning. "The United States army is a fine demonstration of the success that has attended the war on machine-borne typhoid fever killed more men than all other things combined. In contrast to that, is the fact that during the last two years while the troops have been maneuvering around the Mexican boundaries, only one case of typhoid has developed. Vaccination of the soldiers is given as the reason for such sort of reports come from all countries of the world where vaccination has been tried."
Over two hundred students were vaccinated last year and none of them were inconvenienced to the extent that they had to miss classes.
The treatment this year will be similar to that of last and will be given in three doses. The first dose contains 500 million typhoid bacilli while the second and third doses each contain 1000 million bacilli.
An announcement will be made soon as to the time and place when students may receive the vaccination.
The vaccine will be furnished by the state board of health and the first treatment will be given in the office of Dr. John Sundwall in the basement of the Museum, Friday afternoon from four to five. The treatment acts as a preventative for three years.
A preliminary meeting for the organization of the University of Kansas branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers will be held in the auditorium of Marvin Hall at 4:30, Thursday, October 1.

"The poems, collected from many authors, all interpret the significance of Kansas as a moulder of thought and leader of opinion, picturing the prairies and sweeping horizons that have developed men's spiritual natures in a peculiar way," says Watson. "The poem is a state of mind and laughed at for her eccentricities; but Eugen Ware was right when he said that Virginia, Massachusetts and Kansas "Will live in song and oratory
While all the others, with their idle claims.
Will only be remembered as mere names!"
