Shortly after he made this address he was invited to deliver the commencement address, but he had another engagement, he declined at that time. Several others have been invited in the mean time, but Brown discovered that he would be able to arrange to come to Kansas and so the engagement has been made.

In Meet Last Night Farmers Gather in Only Four Events
K. S. A. C. Also Steals the Pole Vault But Kansas Relishes the Sprints
The 1914 track team made its debut last night in the Gymnasium by walloping the Kansas Anglers, 61 to 24. The Farmers were completely outclassed and not once did they threaten to overcome the big lead Kansas acquired in the first four events. The Kansas track men showed good form last night and were strong in almost every department.
The Aggies contended in every event. Hilt won a spectacular 30-14 victory. Prizzi outjumped Captain Hazen who held up herured 5 feet and 8½ inches. Young, took the pole vault for K. S. A. C at 10 ft. and 3 inches. After the event, the Aggie garrie shattered the K. S. A. C when he vaulted 10 feet and 6 inches.
Captain Hazen was a consistent point winner for the Jayhawkers. Hazen won the high and low hurdles and was second in the high jump. Edwards, Fiske and Malcolmson carried off points in the mile, half mile and two mile, while Henderson won a pretty half mile sprint. Malcolmson brought the crowd to its feet when he made a whirlwind finish and won the two-mile event.
The Kansas relay team won in a win, flattening the Farmer quarter by half at 49-36.
K. U. won eight firsts out of eleven events and Hamilton's cinder men took seven seconds. The Aggies won three firsts and three seconds. Hazen was high man with 18 points. Bonnie Reber made his first appearance in a Kansas suit and won the shot put.

ED HOWE NOMINATES DR. STRONG FOR SENATE
Chancellor Would Make a Great One, He Says in Chapel
"I if I had a message to give the students of this University that would cover all the ground," said Ed. Howe, editor of the Atchison Globe, in chapel this morning, "it would place the greatest emphasis upon the importance of the moral virtues, honesty and uprightness."
Mr. Howe believes the college man is the most valuable citizen the country has. "College men," he said are receiving more attention than ever before. How many of you know that President Wilson is essentially a politician who never mind he done more for politics than any other man in recent years. "I have been thinking recently that it would be a great thing for the country if we would remove the politicians and replace them with college men. Why not put a man like Dr. Strong, for instance, in the Senate, instead of some one who merely were there by accident or wire-pulling."
Ed Howe's "Daily Notes" to Students First Hand
Ed. Howe took five hundred persons on a flying trip around the world last night and set them down in Fraser Hall laughing. It was a only minute tour of the Hawaiian Islands, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa.
The only thing which Mr. Howe remembered about the Fiji Islands was the fact that the 180th meridian, which marks the International date line passes through the hut of an old Fiji Islander. On one side of the room, it was Wednesday; on the other side, it was Tuesday.
Australia he characterized as a progressive and growing country. What Mr. Howe didn't like about New Zealand were the baths. He asked the hotel keeper for a "tub" when he arrived. The proprietor called a boy who took Mr. Howe about half a mile down the road to a creek.
"Jump in," said the boy.
bay. "Africa did not impress me very favorably," declared Mr. Howe.
SAYS "PAREE" IS NOT
SHOWN ACCURATELY
Gay Paree as represented in the average musical comedy is entirely false and erroneous, according to M. Andre Bellesort, who made an address in French in Blake Hall yesterly. He referred to the subject “La France et le Paris upon ne voit pas” —“France and the Paris which does one not see.”
The Kansas Clay Workers Association, which is holding its first annual meeting in Haworth Hall, elected officers for the coming year this morning. They are: president, Prof. Erasmus Haworth; vice-president, J. Stratton; Cherrymyale; recording secretary, Paulector; corresponding secretary, C. A. Nall, Wichita; Robt.

ANNOUNCES STUDENT SCHOLASTIC RANKING
Registrar Foster Shows Standing of All Clubs and Organizations
ONLY ITS AND ITS COUNTED
Grades of III Not Used in Figuring Percentage; Real Scholarship Indicated in Chart
The results of a comparative study of grades made last year by members of all University organizations on Tuesday by Registrar George O. Foster.
The percentage indicated after each name represents the percentage of "ones" and "two's" made, the "threes" not being counted. The figures therefore indicate real scholarship under the K. U. system of grading. Six weeks were needed to prepare the chart, which was ordered made by the Board of Administration. Blueprints have which will be furnished to every fraternity and club represented on the chart.
The average made by non-sorority girls was 79.8, just 0.7 more than that of the sororites, who made 79.1. Non-fraternity men show a larger increase over fraternity men, making an average of 61.4 as compared to an even 50 per cent made by the fraternities.
The average made by all University students was 57.7. Colored women were graded 49.7 as against 26.0 made by colored men students.
