Elected League President (By Paul A. Kuhn)
Alta Vista, Nov. 23- The idea of centralizing the different college high school track meets is the plan offered by the faculty here. The idea is to have a single state high school meet some place each year and to make that meet both official and complete.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING
Coffeville, Nov. 22—The Coffeville high school was defeated in both games of a double-header basket-ball contest played against the Montgomery county high school on the local court Friday night. The score of the girls' game was 11 to 8 and the score of the boys' game was 31 to 30. The games were both fast but owing to the earliness of the season, considerable fouling was done by each team.
Rabbi Leon Harrison, of St. Louis, in delivering the address of welcome at the annual meeting of the Missouri State Teachers' Association urged vocational education.
"The grammar school," he said, "nought not to be simply a feeder for the high school, any more than the high school should be only preparatory of the University."
ElDorado Student Killed
THE JUNIOR MEMORIAL
ElDorado Student ElDorado, Nov. 24 Twenty-five ElDorado high school rowers saw the basketball team defeated at Augusta Friday by the score of 23-10. Killen was the stellar man, throwing one goal over half the length of the court. But the game is overshaded by the tragic happenings afterward. Eleven of the loyal E. H. S. rosters could not resist the temptation to "ride the bummers" home.
They went to the depot and were told by the Santa Fe operator at Augusta that they could get a freight in twenty minutes. The engineer was then told by the operator to "hit it up through Eldorado." As a result Lee McClellan, a sophomore died within a few hours, jumping from the floor to jumping 45 miles an hour, and Harry Wilson, a junior, fully bruised and unconscious to walk. Raymond Binford, a sophomore, when he saw McClellan disappear, jumped, thinking only of trying to save or help McClellan, and was successful in getting off. The others rode to Florence.

22—In two of the swiftest games played this season the girls' and boys' teams from D.H. S. won a double-header from Beloit high school last night. The girls' score was a tie, 14 to 14, when time was called, but in the additional time given for playing off the tie, the D.H. S. girls scored a close score of 16 to 15. Miss Cathine Harrison, who played center, starred for D.H. S.

'TWAS A WONDROUS EVENT THE OPENING OF K. U.
To those acquainted with the almost automatic movements of the University of Kansas as an assistant professor in 1866 would seem very tumultuous indeed.
When the University began in old North College Sept. 12, 1866, there were three instructors, Professors Frank H. Snow, Elial J. Rice, and D. H. Robinson. Professor Robinson made out of the course of study, modeling it after the classical courses of the eastern colleges of that time, with no provision for work below the freshman class. The preparatory work was left to the high schools of the state.
Professors Robinson and Snow were young men just out of college and inexperienced as instructors. Professor Rice had been superintendent of some town school in Indiana. In view of this experience he was made "acting president" of the University. The younger professors were to arrange the details of the opening of the school.
No Smoke Rule Then
Desiring to obtain some definite instructions from the head of the University the young men started to call on Chancellor Oliver. Greeted kindly, they were invited into the study. The air was thick with tobacco smoke. Regent Starret was present, smoking a pipe with a stem six feet long. Several students and a large pouch of tobacco were lying on the table. The men there evidently "hail fellows well met." The professors' coming had broken off one of Starret's best stories—and he could good tell ones. Politely declining to join in the smoking they attempted to state their business. But that story must first be finished. It was a good one, so good that another must be loud to match it. The professor famously told story proving another in rapid motion, and the air growing thicker and bluer, until the young men, half sick, insisted they must go, and asked what preparations had been made for the opening of the University the next week.
"Go Shooting"
They expected some general instructions about the reception of the students from the high schools upon examination. The Chancellor, after considering a moment, gave him his instructions—perhaps the strongest ever given to the head of his colleagues. Speaking with his strong Scottish accent he said: "I would advise you, young gentleman, to go to Mr. Jaedicke's gun shop and hire some guns, and to Mr. O'Connor's livery stable and hire some saddle horses, and go way back on the hills and hunt prairie cattle two. This will be as good preparation as you can make for your work next week." Saying this he dismissed them.
They were somewhat surprised to say the least. Though the advice seemed to be congenial with their inclinations it did not seem to fit the question. They were not sufficiently experienced in University work to see the relation between hunting prairie chickens and preparing
questions for entrance examinations. But bowing to the Chancellor's wider experience they departed.
President Writing a Poem
After talking the matter over the young professors decided to defer the hunt for a few days and consult their "acting president." This consultation, however, did not result in a very definite line of action. They found the president occupied with a poem he was preparing which he hoped to be invited to read after formal dedication of the school. began the day before school, work began. The reading might soon be called for, they could not think of interrupting its laborious construction with less important business, so the instructors prepared to withdraw at once.
The president insisted upon reading the poem which concerned the founding of the University of Alabama as a raid. Only one speaker has been preserved. Speaking of the murderous raid the poem said:
"Then ran the street with patriot's blood.
Not drop by drop, but in a flood." Professor Charitable
The professors' opinion is not recorded. They left after hearing the reading. As the program for the dedication will fully fill the poem it did not given there.
The morning of the twelfth or September came. The faculty were at North College early. No one else came, however, except two or three noisy carpenters who were working on the stairs. The last one this came straggling in, and pretty soon a few more. Later those from a great distance came—from Grant, Wakarusa, Kanwake, and Palmyra. After the devotional services, which were led that morning by Chancellor Oliver, the students were sent around for a formal professors for examination. If they were interested or juniors present they were in deep disguise. There might have been a few sophomores or freshmen there, but appearances were against that.
Body Exams Then.
Examinations began. None had studied Greek, but six wished to begin. Latin fared a little better. Several had studied Latin grammar and read, and were indifferently prepared to take up Caesar. Fifteen wished to begin Latin. The examinations in the other branches showed similar lack of preparation. Forty students in all were examined. As a result, instead of the expected college classes they were a few candidates for a rather small high school.
THEY'RE ALL COUNTING THE DAYS TO DEC.19
Rory Exams Then, Too
The professors now saw the wisdom of the Chancellor's advice about hunting. Hunting was quite as useful as the long list of examination questions which would not be needed for years.

The Still Drop off in the Spring
Work began promptly and ran
along well until near the end of
the year, when a strange dropping off
of students began. They gradually
disappeared, one after another, until
the middle of April more than half
the entire number were gone, Fearful
They are all doing it; 2500 of 'em are counting the days between November 30, and Friday noon December 19. They all climbed to Mt. Oread this morning with the single thought that today was the first of eighteen and a half days before the last class will have been dismissed, and holiday time will be at hand.
Distance
Some of 'em say they *count* the time by weeks; others go by the days, counting it eighteen, seventeen, etc., until they impatiently await their train on the last day. Others don't count at all, but stubbornly let the days slip by as best they can. Some of these last ones are the few who can't go home for Christmas and to them it doesn't make very much difference when it comes or how long it lasts.
Here's one comforting fact—there are really only fourteen and a half college days until the whistle blows. You overlook Saturdays and Sundays.
TWO COLLEGE SENIORS
WALK MILES TO MEALS
Two seniors in the College are claiming the honors of walking the greatest number of miles in a day, a week, a month, or a year for their meals. Each morning they rise early and eat breakfast for their breakfast and then back to the University in time for the eight o'clock classes.
In all of the three meals they figure that they each cover 3 miles a day, 21 miles in a week, 84 miles in a month, and 714 miles in a year. They have been covering this same amount of miles without would be 1428 miles, and together 2856 miles. By the end of the year their total mileage will be 3360.
The two seniors have taken a
basketball game, who has already
already covered 326 miles.
OLD BOOKS BECOME NEW
Battered Volumes Come Home in New Leather and Gay Colors
The library department has just received 252 rebound volumes from the state printing office. The books which are of various kinds were sent there for a new dress because innumerable handling had reduced them to a state unfit for public appearance. They came back with half leather bindings and sides of varigated colors.

Those who have handed in their names for the debating tryout will meet in Green hall in the basement Wednesday at 7 o'clock.
that all should leave them, Professors Robinson and Snow began to investigate the cause of the desertion. They found that spring work having begun most of the brawny students had gone home to assist on the farms, and that several from the city, suffering from the severe strain of headwork, were down with the "spring fever," hopeless cases.
It was evident that something must be done or the University would be disgraced. After a consultation, much visiting was allowed in the school's patrons resulted and the threatened abandonment was averted.
The first year closed triumphantly with twenty-two students.
