Chancellor Opens Session in Address of Welcome
NUMBER 5.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 24, 1913.
DR. LUMSDEN ON TYPHOID
Jenorance of Public Causes Untold Number of Cases—Prof. Hunter Lectures Tonight.
The Summer School for health officers opened this morning in the lecture room at Snow hall. Chancellor Strong welcomed the visitors in a short address, Dean Crumbine presided.
About fifty health men have registered and more are expected in tonight and tomorrow.
Dr. L. K. Lumsden, of the United States Public Health Service of Washington, D. C., began the work of the morning session with a lecture on "The Epidemiology of Tymphoid Fever."
"The modern doctor who says that typhoid originates in the scum of ponds should be shot," declared Dr. Lumsden. "Typhoid comes from only one source, infected people. The human being is the soil on which the plant thrives. If we could separate these germs from all human bodies the question would be solved."
The fourth annual meeting of the Kansas State Association of Public Health Officers was held at the Eldridge house last night. Twenty-two members of the association were present.
HEALTH OFFICERS MEET,
TALK, AND ELECT OFFICERS
Papers were read by Doctor C. M. Siever and F. A. Garvin on "The Object in our Association" and to Secrete to Secretary of the public Health Matters."
Dr. C. S. Kinney, of Norton, president of the Association, called the meeting to order at 8:15, and what the attending physicians called a "boaring meeting" did not adjourn until 12:00 o'clock.
An impromptu speech by Dr. Cummings of Bourbon county, member of the last legislature, on "Need of Legislation and How to Obtain it" revealed the tricks employed in obtaining favorable legislation and caused every doctor to resolve to take a little part in politics in the next campaign.
Dr. S. J. Crumbine led in the discussion of the papers in which every doctor took part.
All of the doctors are here to attend the Summer School for Physicians and Health Officers which started today. Fifty more physicians are expected today to attend the school.
The newly elected officers of the Health Officers' Association area. Dr. W. W. Nye, of Hiawata, president; Dr. C. M. Siever, of Horton vice-president; Dr. F. A. Garvin, of Augusta, secretary; and Dr. F. A Kelly of Winfield, treasurer.
FACULTY UNFAVORABLE TO RETURN OF GAME TO K. C
The University Council yesterday went on record as opposing the return of the Kansas-Missouri football game to Kansas City. This action was taken in reply to a petition of alumni, headed by E. C. Meservey, former president of the association, asking the faculty to call for a reconsideration of the question by the Missouri Valley Athletic Association.
The faculty went into the matter fully and after consideration reluctantly declined to accede to the request of the alumni.
The following summer students spent, the week-end in Kansas City George Strother, Frederick P. Johnson, Glendon Allvine, Arthur Hobbs.
Mr. and Mrs. Esping of Lindsborg have been visiting their daughter, Lydia Esping, a student in the Summer Session.
Ethel A. Jones, '13, will teach in the science department of the Staford, Kan., high school next year.
THE SUMMER CHAPEL IS WELL ATTENDED
More Students There Than Present at the Regular Session
Session
CHANCELLOR MADE A TALK
Gave Two Reasons for The Summer School.—Dr. Naismith and Prof. Croissant Also Spoke.
The first chapel exercises of the Summer Session were held in Fraser hall Friday at 11:30, and the announcement was made that there would be chapel each Friday during session at the same time and place.
Dean A. T. Walker presided and took occasion to urge that all connected with the Summer Session read its official publication, The Summer Session Kansan in order to keep up with what is going on.
Chancellor Strong, the first speaker on the program, expressed himself as well pleased with the largest Summer Session of the University.
“There are two main reasons for the Summer Session,” said he, “to fill up the large gaps which exist between the regular sessions and thus shorten the number of years in the course of study, and to assist those who earn their daily bread as teachers to pursue a course of study and establish a real profession of teaching in the state of Kansas.”
Dr. Naismith of the department of physical culture spoke of the opportunities for students for physical training and recreation at basket-ball, hand-ball, volley-ball, tennis and swimming.
"A baseball team of students has been suggested, and if one is formed, the Athletic Association will furnish the suits," he added.
Professor Croissant extolled the virtues of the Coburn Players who are to give three performances in Marvin Grove Friday and Saturday.
In spite of the hot weather, a much larger percentage of students attended chapel than during the regular winter sessions. Particularly noticeable was the absence of chapel dates, the maturity of the majority of the audience, and the earnest attention which was paid to the addresses.

LONG CURLS AND ROSES
FOR SUMMER STUDENTS
Superintendents who intend to super or aty other school teachers or more undergraduates who wish to masquerade as true 15th century beauties, must see Prof. J. A. Campbell from 9 to 10:15 some morning prior to Friday and tell him they will take the job.
A Chance for Thirty-Eight Men and Women to Play Pilgrims With The Coburns.
The best seats are going rapidly. The tickets are on sale in Fraser hall but after today they can be obtained downtown.
Miss Coburn is here and has decided that the Grove will not be the best place to present the classical plays of the Coburn repertoire. The plays will be presented west of the Snow hall. The stage will be near the driveway and face to the south. The seats will be arranged under the trees north of Fowler shops, and will face to the north.
Wanted: Thirty-eight actors and actresses. If you have ever longed to get behind the footlights now is your chance. The Coburn Players are in need of thirty-eight superms—fourteen men and twelve women for "The Polly Pilgrims" Friday evening, and twelve women for Saturday evening.
There will be but one rehearsal for the supers, and all costumes will be furnished free.

The performances are set for Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday afternoon of this week.

FIRST CALL FOR CHOIR
"Every student of the Summer Session will enjoy these lectures, I am sure," said Dean A. T. Walker today.
"Dr. S. J. Crumbine has written to cal especial attention to Dr. Evans' lecture."
Plans on for Special Music at Chapel Exercises
The music department plans to enliven the chapel exercises during the Summer Session by the introduction of a choir. The choir will lead the singing and furnish special music. The choir will be under the direction of Miss Olsson.
Those who wish to become members of the choir will meet in the chapel during the intervals between the nine, ten and eleven o'clock classes, to make the preliminary plans.
The addition of a glass of country buttermilk from the fountain to the information enabled him to get to Fraser hall—also the two grips, large and heavy. Here the grips
Earl Potter went to Paola this afternoon to be present at the wedding of a cousin.
Going south on Massachusetts his curiosity to know the exact location, again caused him to stop at Wilson's drug store, release his suit cases, step inside and inquire where the University was located.
Upon receipt of the information he made his way as far as the Eldridge house with his two grips, when his memory failed him and he inquired again and received directions.
HE FOUND SOMETHING NOT IN THE CATALOG
He is a Summer Session student thirty years old, perhaps, and it was his first trip to Lawrence. His arrival was inauspicious and would probably never have been commented upon but for the fact that he came to take English History and had a difficult time getting to his class.
He alighted at the Santa Fe dept with two large and heavy suit cases and inquired the way to the University, where he walked away from Sheridan county, he said.
Pretty soon they sauntered out and the onlookers were deeply concerned as he parted from the malady. They looked up to her, darby and a Western Kansas smile.
One interesting and interested maiden, who says she is from Cherokee county, volunteered not only to the escort, he excim to the desired spot.
(The whole point of this story is that the Summer Session offers in- dencements that even Dean Walker did not put into his prospect.)
Monday morning he found himself installed in a front seat in his English History class right next to the maiden from Cherokee county.
Young Marshall Field Thinks Two Loaves Are Better Than One
were stored in the Chancellor's office and his next desire for information was satisfied when a student met an admissions war in the Administration building.
After two attempts to make north appear west, he got to the inside of the desired building; and after one hour of diligent search, the student who directed him, stepped inside the building in time to see him approach and hear him ask a group of young ladies where they recited English History.
Crash! the bottle of pop which the young merchant half way down the Adams street hill offered for sale fell from his hands and broke. With it that eager look which but a minute before had fairly forced the customer into asking a few questions regarding the beverage, vanished.
The little chap almost cried but he bravely held back the tears as he told the buyer about that particular bottle. It was the last and if he had sold it he would have made ten cents for the day. But now he would not make a cent because the cost bottle a nickle, and see, he did go want to make some money because, well, because, first he did not hear said he and then he wanted the money for his saving bank because some day he was going to get a pet like the boy that, sold The Saturday Evening Post had.
The appearance of his mother on the scene and her promise to help out cheered him up a little but he said he wished he had both the dime his mother gave him and the other one too.
NEW S. S. DIRECTORY
DELAYED ONE ISSUE
The alternating current was the cause of it all. The electric juice that runs the monotype alternated so often between being on and being off that the Summer Session directory has been delayed in publication until Friday.
Proofs Now Posted -- Stud ents Must Report All Errors at Once
However, the galley proofs are now posted in all of the buildings and everybody is urged to do his best to see that his name and address is printed correctly, and report all errors to Director Walker's office in Fraser hall. All corrections must be in by Thursday morning. Any changes that should be made must not be written in the pasted proofs but must be handed in at the office where the regular enrollment was held. No corrections written on the proofs in the various buildings will reach the printers.
The new directory will contain the names, together with the home and Lawrence address of each student. Thirty-seven students neglected to write their rooming address when they enrolled. The names of these students follow and they are especially requested to see that they register their addresses with Director Walker before Thursday noon.
MIXER MIXES 'EM UP TO A DEAN'S TASTE

FRANK SAYS THAT HE WILL
RETURN TO JAYHAWK CAMP
According to a teelgram received from Coach Frank, the despatches in the Kansas City papers in regard to Leonard Frank accepting a position as track coach and assistant football coach at the University of Minnesota are unfounded. Frank says he will return to K. U.

Harmony Social Adds 400 to One's List of Acquaintances
SOME POLITE VAUDEVILLE
Hiawatha, by Indians; a Song by the Chancellor, Torch-Swinging by Babb,-Punche for Everybody
To refute the base canard that summer students have no chance to meet their fellow toilers, Dean Walker points with pride to Exhibit A. Exhibit A is the jolly, hilarious, hall-fellow-well-met mixer of Friday evening.
Four hundred Summer Sessionists met in Robinson Gymnasium shortly after 8 o'clock and promptly proceeded to greet old friends and make new ones. The faculty members also turned out to see the fun, but after a short time they were actively engaged in making the fun. Presents included a faculty mixer of the occasion, while faculty mixer of the occasion, and while Professors Dykstra and Hopkins vied with each other as the social hits of the evening.
To lend a little class to the informality of the occasion and also to make sure that they would meet everyone, Chancellor Strong and Dean and Mrs. A. T. Walker formed a receiving line, welcoming the visitors and helping them to get acquainted. A half hour of general handshaking and "howdy do's" followed.
Then began the polite vaudelle show. The first number was the College Boy Quartette, consisting of drinders wolverks Van, der Vries, Boyton, and Chancellor Strong. Moreover, we heard that they sang to sing the famous old "Crimson and Blue" when everybody stood up and joined in heartily.
The second stanza of the variety show was an ingenious and spectaculair torch swinging exhibition by George Babb. The spectators are still wondering how he kept from getting scorched.
And now came the headliner of the show. In striking contrast to the modern rice and old shoe wedding, the love scene from Hiawatha was given with all the quaint realism of Indian mythology by the Haskell Indians. This was a part of the play presented as Haskell Institute last week. Genuine tepes and costumes from the Indian reservations were used. The players acted their parts with the peculiarly simple and therefore dramatic expression of their race.
Minnehah, a dark skinned Indian maiden with dimples and a dainty personality, afterwards became the discomfiture of the K. K., girls.
In the Virginia reel that followed Mrs. A. T. Walker and Prof. E. M. Hopkins distinguished themselves, although all the participants showed a surprising knowledge of the old-fashioned dance.
After the hilarious Virginia reel had been danced to a finish, the exponents of the modern waltzes took the floor. To tell the truth, they did not immediately until the Floor Manager threatened to turn out the lights at twelve o'clock.
And in the words of the country chronicle all had the time of their lives and wended their various ways home at a late hour tired but happy.
