THE REAL MAN GIVES HIS FELLOWS SERVICE
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 28, 1913.
Denn Brown O Of Yale Answers The Question, "What Is A Man?"
"APPLY COLLEGE KNOWLEDGE"
Speaker Gives Advice to Students For Use in World-Attendance Was Best For Weeks.
"Man's highest worth is expressed in terms of service," declared Dean Charles R. Brown of Yale Theological School in an interesting address at chapel this morning. He took for his subject, "What is a Man?" After illustrating the various classifications in which men situate themselves, the speaker elicited that the man would not ahead in being rendered without considering the benefits desired is more desirable than all others.
The first class considered by the speaker was those who after buffeting with conditions for a period of twenty years, excused their wives' victims of circumstances and were unable to help themselves.
A trifle higher class of men, who in gaining for themselves a more firmer foothold in the battle of life had brought to themselves the designations "fighters" still lacked considerable in establishing their right to claim themselves as the "Man."
Those men who either by inheritance or through the use of unlawful means had "feathered their nests" at the sacrifice of others, also fell far short of answering the question pronounced by the subject.
Coming in closer relationship with the college campus, Dean Brown dealt on that phase of humanity classed as the "Thinkers" which are to a large extent the output of educational institutions. Unless students apply their knowledge to fit the businesses of life, they too lack man-making qualities, the speaker said.
Dean Brown is an alumnus of the same school as Chancellor Strong. For many years he has been prominent in the clergy councils of the Congregational church. At the session of the National conference of the Congregational church held at Kansas City last week, Dean Brown was named as Moderator for the ensuing year.
Each division was entertainingly and forcefully brought out by the speaker to the interested students, and who responded with enthusiasm to the Fraser auditorium to capacity.
ALUMNUS ATTACKS
FRATTS AND SORORITIES
A serious attack on the Greek letter societies, declaring that the chief function of the University of Kansas is to furnish a field for the activities of nearly a score of fraternities and sororities, made its appearance today in the Graduate Magazine, which publishes articles in Florence Finch Kelly, '81, herself an alumnus of the Pla Beta Phi sorority.
Mrs. Kelly is an author of some note, having written "With Hoops of Steel," "The Delafield Affair," "Rhoda of the Underground" and "The Fate of Felix Brand." She has also been engaged on various newspapers in Chicago, Boston, Troy, N.Y., Lowell and Fall River, Mass, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
Mrs. Kelly says the Greek letter organizations have given the University a bad name over the state and may not help remedy social conditions here.
M. B. Galloway, of South English, Iowa, calls our attention to the fact that Virgil Moon is an instructor in the affiliated University of Chicago Medical College and not in the "Rush University" as we stated last week.
A Correction
In referring to the "Observer of Nature" which Prof. F. H. Billings found in his office some time ago, the Daily Kansan stated that W. C. Stevens and W. H. Carruth who were mentioned in the magazine, were instructors in the University at the time. Several professors have called our attention to the fact that these men were not graduated from the institution until several years after this copy was published.
Professors C. C. Young and C. A. Haskins will make a trip to Lyndon and Burlingame Thursday to filter the filters at those two towns.

MEXICO IS RICH, SAYS GRAD
Arthur Harvey, 10, Predicts Great Future For Turbulent Republic
"The Mexican trouble is caused by the moneyed interests of that country," says Agent Harvey. "16, the best business several days at the Phi Gam house."
Mr. Harvey is located at Douglas, Arizona, where he is constructing a railroad along the border of Mexico. He went to the border immediately for graduation, and thinks it is the best place for a young man to get a start.
"The undeveloped wealth of Mexico in mines and oil is very great," says Harvey. "On account of this, English investors would like to get more control over affairs there. If Mexico were a poor country, England would not take so much interest in it."
When Mexican difficulties are settled, Harvey predicts a great development of its resources, and says it is the coming field for all classes of engineers.

Prairie Schooner With University Label Collects Animal Specimens
"K. U." WAGON NOT A DEEP DARK MYSTERY
To those around Lawrence unacquainted with the significance of the big "K. U." shown so conspicuously on the back end of the light spring wagon, which makes periodical trips into the country, it may often be a mooted question amongst the smaller boys as to whether it is a show coming to town, or what kind of baking powder is being distributed. Those acquainted with the facts, however, will it to be an outfit belonging to the department of zoology on one of its many collecting trips.
These trips are to collect all forms of animal and bird life. Frequently a wagon load of material is gathered to show, in the museum, the flora and surroundings in which the birds and animal life live in their natural habitat. In this way the fine collection and display in the panorama on the first floor, which gives the mind of the student and visitor the true idea of animal and bird life as it appears in nature has been obtained.
The paramount value in the study of bird life, lies in the determining of what varieties, and to what extent these varieties are of benefit to the state in an economic way. During the past three years about five thousand bird and mammal skins have been added to the collection.
At the present time, attention is being paid particularly to the collection of small mammals. These are especially numerous in this vicinity and offer slender chances for collecting. Hardy and amic has ever beaten the Kansas mam-her university through the museum hopes to be able to determine the number of species in Kansas, and to determine if possible their relative economic importance to the farmers of this state.
Mr. H. A. Rice has taken charge of the classes of Prof. W. E. Higgins, who left Lawrence for an extended tour of Europe, yesterday.

MUSEUM GETS INDIAN RELIGS 150 YEARS OLD
Collection Of Pottery And Arrow Heads Came Yesterday
H. T. Martin, assistant curator of paleontology, yesterday received a collection of pottery, arrow-heads, and other Indian reliies, which has been gathered during the past few months by a student from the University. This is the third collection of this nature that the University has been able to obtain in Kansas.
The reliies were found sixteen miles north of Atchison near Fanning in Doniphan county, where it is said that an Indian village formerly existed. Judging from the kind and the condition of the pottery, Mr. Martin believes it is 150 years old. The best part of the collection is the pottery, which, though badly broken, is very good. Some of the reliies are more than a half inch thickness and were doubtless used for cooking utensils, while others of a thinner structure were used for water vessels.
Several varieties of handles, all of simple character were found. No decorating is used on the pottery except for a slight scalloped effect on the edges of a few of the pieces. The rest of the specimens receive spears and armatures; both bofleshers and wears were used to scrap metal of hides, and flint knife-blades, which were used for the same purpose as the fleshers.
With the exception of one dish now at the museum, the new collection has the best pottery specimens that have yet been obtained in Kansas by the University. The other collections have consisted chiefly of arrow-heads, stone hammers and hatchets.
males and Bart S. Dinsmore, a son of Dr.
Dinsmore, is a student in the School
of Medicine. Dr. Dinsmore has
promised to make an effort to obtain
some painted and decorated Indian
vare for the University.
Mr. Martin lamentes the fact that the people of the state, as a rule, take so little interest in sending the things that they find to the University, but instead keep them for themselves.
1:30 SUMMONS IS O. K.
Changing Afternoon Schedule Would Hamper Srudent Majority
Student opinion relative to the proposed change in the calling of classes after the lunch hour, at some period earlier than 1:30, at present are varying in degree. No change seems to seem to be able to settle on a certain period.
The number desiring a change who complain, that they waste time which could be profitably spent between lunch and 1:30 is more than offset by those who declare that a change in existing schedule would make it impossible to have a large number of students to have sufficient time to get their lunch at the clubs and get back in time to their afternoon classes.
Leslie A. Dodd, president of the Men's Student Council and Webster W. Holloway, favor the existing schedule, declaring that practically the entire school body is in accord with their views.
"Seniors of the Fort Scott high school will be given a party by the Bourbon County Club of the University during the Thanksgiving holidays," said Juliet Snyder, president of the club today.

SENDS ROSS LETTERS TO NEBRASKA TODAY
Manager Hamilton Meens To Prove "Gentleman's Agreement" By Letters
EXPECTS AN EARLY REPLY
Northern School Denies Any Conference Understanding About Negroes, According to Reports
Having received a letter from faculty members of five colleges in the Missouri Valley Conference, verifying the contention of the University of Kansas that Dr. Clapp, the Nebraska representative, agreed to bar negro athletes from games of "personal contact" Manager W. O. Hamlett sent the same issue to Guy Reed, the Nebraska athletic manager today. He expects to hear from the Iowa authorities soon as what will be their ultimate course in the matter about playing Ross against Kansas.
Most of the schools in the Conference, particularly Missouri and Washington University, wished a motion to be entered into the eligibility rules at the Conference meeting barring negroes from all athletic contests. Dr. Clapp, however, desired this to be changed to "games of personal contact," according to the athletic authorities, and then favored calling it merely a "gentleman's agreement."
The statements in the Saturday press which show the Nebraska stand in the matter and which caused the special meeting of the Kansas athletic board yesterday follows:
"The continued rumor that the Jayhawk management would protest the playing of Ross because he is colored, as did the Kansas 'Angies', has drawn a storm of criticism from the athletics department as well as the auditions for several days after the Minnesota game. Coach Stiehm's desk was flooded with letters from the alumni declaring that they would back him to the finish, even to severing relations with the South. If the Southeastern conference in that Ross be left out of the lineup November 15, when the Cornhuskers and Jayhawks meet.
"The Nebraska coach and Athletic Manager Reed of the Nebraska school admit that the color line was discussed at the appraisal meeting of the Midwest conference, but neither maintain that there was no agreement made, not even a 'gentleman's agreement' as Kansas and the 'Aggies' claim."
"CHRISTIANITY WILL
SOLVE K. U. PROBLEMS."
"The Christian life is real and not an unreal thing; it is but a big friendship with God," was a statement made by Miss Elias Rhees Butler in her talk on The Bible. Christian Life gives the Y. W. Christian Life given to the Y. W. Christian services Sunday. "We do not have to be near our friends to enjoy their friendship. And we cannot realize what God means to us unless we think of Him as our friend. It is only by the city of Christian City that society will be able to meet the social and religious problems this winter."
Miss Butler urged the use of the honor system in the school work of the girls. Miss Pearl Emley of the Fine Arts school gave an怒言 after Mrs Butler's talk. There were about 125 girl students present.
How Do They Punish There?
First-year women at the University of Wisconsin are no longer to enjoy the immunities not given to their masculine class-mates. By tomorrow night, every freshman girl must be conspicuously wearing the little five cent green button with a red dot in the center pressured by the Sophomore's shirt. The Green Jacket Failure to comply with this ruling will incur a punishment just as severe as that meted out to the violators of the green cap law.
