W. H. SPANGLER WAS TWICE UNIVERSITY'S CHANCELLOR
Eleven years ago last Wednesday, Oct. 22, W. H. Spangler the only person who had colored the color of the University of Kansas died at his home in Lawrence.
Concerning Mr. Spangler as a lawyer Dean J. W. Green, of the School of Law says: "He was a lawyer of highest integrity, and had the keenest sense of professional honor. From the beginning of his practice personal influence and knowledge of legal science to bring issues between intending litigants to an amicable adjustment."
Dean Olin Templin, of the College of Liberal Arts and Science says: "He was sincerity itself. No one could think him trifling or deceitful. He was plain in words, but he spoke in bold of speech, but when he spoke he was in earnest, he could not be impetuous. Half of injustice is the fruit of thoughtlessness and haste. Fortune indeed is the man disposed by his own nature to consider well before he feels or acts. Such was our friend. He was the justest man I could but say, 'He was my friend faithful and to me.'"
William Cornelius Spangler was born in 1859 on a farm about two and a half miles from the village of Peotone, Illinois, and died Oct. 1902 at his home in the village his family to support. young Spangler was obliged to pay his own way after leaving the district school. He taught school and worked on the farm for the money for one year at the University of Kansas—1879. Next year on the resignation of W. B. Crosby, became secretary of the University, then held until his graduation in 1883.
In November of his first year in school he was initiated into the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and also became a member of the Oread Literary Society, now defunct, but then a very important factor in the University life. In 1881 he was chosen editor-in-chief of the Kaiwan view for the school year 1881-82, 1882-83, 1884-85, the publication of the annual "Kikkabe" began. There had been a fight over its publication. Consequently when it appeared, in the middle of May, it created more of a sensation than was expected. The comments on some of the members of the faculty was taken seriously. One professor was a personal friend of Mr. Spangler and came to him in an attempt to expurgate the offensive portions of the publications. Mr. Spangler, with his friend, two of the editors, collected the books and tore out the pages that had caused the trouble. Unfortunately they did not get possession of a part of the edition.
At his graduation in 1883 he was elected by the faculty to represent his department on the commencement exercises. His address was on "The Relation of Ethics of Economies" pleading for more prominence of moral ideas in the transactions of every day business.
In September 1883 he entered the School of Law, where he was graduated in 1885. He began the practice of law at once in Lawrence. In 1887 Mr. Spangler taught him lawrence, which position he held through many changes of administration. During the time that he held this office the
sewer system was built, the parks laid out, and the paving of the streets conceived and carried out. He prepared the ordinances and contracts for these improvements. In all he served sixteen years.
After some time as a professor in the School of Law, lecturing on the law of real property, he was appointed to the Board of Regents. As a professor he enhanced the respect in which he was held by the students. For these reasons when the Regents were in doubt as to the selection of a Chancellor, twice they turned to him as a safe, competent available and scholarly man to discharge the duties of that position.

WILL CORRECT DEFORMITIES
Wisconsin Has New Kind of Gymnasium Classes
Classes in Corrective Gymnasium are about to be installed at the University of Wisconsin. The classes include a variety of sessions, one for kids, and one for girls.
Keuffel & Esser Co.'s Paragon Drawing Instruments
The work consists of such exercises as will correct the common deformities such as *stem-shoulderedness*, bowed head, bowed legs, curved spine, shallow breathing etc.; and a series of auspices of the University physician.
The attitude in the fall is rather against the classes, for the reason that few students like to admit that they are deformed, but, by the time spring comes and they see them selfies rounding into shape, they are loud in their praise of "corrective gym."
The Iowa Agricultural School is planning a big home-coming for the last week of October. It expects an attendance of several hundred.

COMPLETE FOUNDATION
FOR LARGEST TELESCOPE
The concrete pier which will support the lonest telescope in the world was completed today on the crest of mount Wilson in southern California. The telescope, which will have a one hundred-inch lens, will improve the Carnegie Solar Observatory, which at present is the world's most important instrument.

KANSAS TEACHERS PRONE TO MIGRATF
Good Instructors In High Schools Apt to Leave
Leave
For many years Kansas educators have been urging a change in the system of handling the schools so that there could be practically a life tenure for efficient teachers, says the Hutchinson school. The schools always been more or less a political football and the fact that the state, while spending millions each year for school purposes was found woefully deficient in efficiency by disinterested investigators, has or ought renewed vigor to the demand that the schools be similarly away from political influences.
The average tenure of office of the superintendents of the schools in first class cities is 4.6 years, in second class cities 3.4 years and in third class cities 2 years.
There are only two city school superintendents in Kansas who have served in the same position twenty years or over. T. J. Gillen of Saline county has been superintendent for 31 years and F. P. Smith of Lawrence has been superintendent an even twenty years. Rollman is believed to be the oldest teacher in point of continuous service in the same county. W. Spindler of Winfield served 22 work, but is not now in school work.
M. A. Lowther of Emporia has been at the head of the city schools for 16 years, E. B. Smith has been superintendent of the Reno county high school 16 years, M. S. Mees, head of the Montgomery county high school 15 years, M. W. Kyser head of the Labette high school 15 years, M. A. Yeachus head of city superintendent at Aitchison 13 years, M. E. Pearson of Kansas City, C. H. Oman of Garnett, H. W. Shidelier of Girard, C. S. Risdon of Independence, M. G. Kirkpatrick of Frankfort have each served in their present capacities twelve years, W. S. Pate has been superintendent of the Crawford county high school 12 years and A. R. Bellly school 10 years, this completes the list of those who have served ten years at the head of city schools in the six hundred cities and towns of Kansas.
The mermaid is a favored soul,
She's clever and she's sweet;
But if she cannot have her way
She never stamps her feet.

LAUNDRIES
Laundries are places for turning out clothes hamburgers. They first appeared immediately after the age of leaves. Their products are three—agents, bills and profanity. There are two kinds of laundry: the usual laundry. The kit is excuse for a student laundry is that some fellows have to work their way through school. To call them laundries is obtaining money under false pretences. They are merely clothes exchanges. If you grow peeped with a certain amount when the package returns you will have somebody else's. By this system any body can have a variety of garments and the monotony of wearing the same clothes all the time, is done away with. A collar back from the laundry for a suit ends at the end of a battle flag; while a shirt can't be distinguished from a peek-a-boo waist.
Sending clothes to the **laundry** is an exciting game. Packages wanted Wednesday, return Saturday, but the sender is always expecting it back at any time. In this way the victim has the prospect of having to wear blue socks with a pink shirt.

According to the "Iowa Alumnus" the college journalists of 1870 did not believe in football. Only that which was scholarly was printed. The discovery of new rock was hailed with glee and a call for a prize award. The University Reporter of the University of Iowa was the first to slip from grace. In 1873 it printed the rules regarding the laying out of the grounds. Then the subject was promptly forgotten for four years, to be taken up again between the "laws" and the "medics" of "Iowa". Since then it has been one of the best sources for news for college papers.
Coaching in football, baseball, and track athletics will be taught in regular class this year at Michigan under the direction of Coach Rowe.
Sororities at the University of Illinois will hold a special meeting next week to decide the tango question.
Rather than have the business men support the band a tag day will be instituted in the University of Minnesota to raise the necessary funds.
