Summer Session Enrolment Reaches High Water Mark
MORE ARE COMING THIS WEEK
Dean Walker Expects Number to Reach 600 Before the Term Closes
The Summer Session of 1913 will outstrip all others in point of registration. Twenty students enrolled yesterday which brought the total up to 382 in the College. The music department enrollments will add enough to this to carry the number well and over the 400 mark.
A Lawrence dispatch in the Topoca Capital Friday stated that the Summer School at the University of Kansas was only half as large as usual. "This was an inaccuracy," said Dean Walker. "The registrar from 40 to 50 ahead of registration on corresponding days." Two years ago Monday it stood at 341; last year at 364; this year 400.
NUMBER 3.
Many students will enter this week for reduced credit so that the enrollment will doubtless reach 600.
Fraser and Journalism Buildings Will be Kept Warm Next Year.
NEW HEATING CONDUIT
"Rotting of the boards which form the roof of the old tunnel made the change necessary," said J. F. Brown, assistant superintendent of buildings and grounds today. "Much heat was lost last winter from leaks in the worm-out pipes. When the new $7,000 concrete conduit is finished nothing short of an earthquake can shut off the heat."
Because of danger to students from cave-ins, workmen are digging up the heating pipes that run underground from a junction south of Snow hall to the journalism building and Fraser hall.
DEAN J. GREEN
Who is Helping His Nephews Get
Ready for State Exams.
The department of Geology announces a new and extended course in geology and mineralogy to meet the increased demand for practical, well trained geologists for public geological surveys and for teachers of geology in various colleges and universities. Men are rapidly drawn from foreign countries taken into private companies and corporations by the great inducements offered by the large mining and development companies.
In order to help supply this demand the University of Kansas now offers this new course of study under the direction of men of good training and large experience in practical geology, mineralogy, and mining. The courses are open to undergraduates and graduate students. A bulletin will be sent on request.
Richard E. Scammon, '04 and Miss Julia Simms, '12, were married June 14 in Kansas City, Mo. Prof. Scammon is teaching in the medical school at the University of Minnesota.
The new conduit begins at the repair shop and extends straight east to a junction south of the journalism building. From there a tunnel under the street car track will connect with that building, and others will run to Fraser, Blake, and Snow halls.
Gladys Elliott '12, instructor in the Kansas City, Kansas high school, with her mother Mrs. M. A. Elliott, will leave Wednesday for Chauatuqua, N. Y. They will stop in Chicago to attend the national convention of Alpha Delta Phi.

DEAN A. T. WALKER Under Whose Direction the Summer
TO PLAY UNDER
GREENWOOD TREE
Coburn Players Will Give Shakespeare Plays in Marvin Grove, June 27-28.
The Coburn players will present the "Cantebury Tales" at Marvin Grove on June 27. This will be the first opportunity, offered the students of Kansas University to see this famous company.
The Coburn Company has a wide reputation of six years standing, as interpreters of the classics. They have presented their productions to the critical eyes of Harvard, Yale, Brown, and practically all the great universities and clubs throughout the United States.
"Picturesque in design, accurate in detail, their costumes will afford their audience a glimpse into the past," says Dean Walker. "The illusions of open air performances are well nigh indescribable, the blue sky above, the swaying trees in the background, the lawn and shrubs below, the lights, producing all the effects gained in the most exquisitely arranged theaters, with the reality of nature added."
Agnes Anderson, Myrtle Greenfield, and Nora Dalaey, who are living in the Dr. Dains property for the summer, entertained Professor and Mrs. Stevens and Mr. Joe Murray for dinner Saturday evening.
Prof. C. Ferdinand Nelson, in- instructor in Chemistry and new member of the faculty, is teaching Physiological Chemistry during the summer Session. Professor Nelson comes to K. U. fro mthe University of Illinois.
The comedy from Canterbury Tales opens naturally in Tabard Inn where the company have assembled on the eve before their start on a pilgrimage to Canterbury to visit the tomb of Thomas A. Beckett. The wife of Bath, who has already disposed of five husbands, is hunting for the sixth. The episodes are filled with humor. The love adventures of Allison Chacew and the jovial miller fill the swift moving comedy with that touch of realism that makes living worth while.
Mr. Percy MacKaye takes the leading role in this play.
Iphigenia, you remember, was the oldest daughter of Agememon the ancient king of Argos. She mysteriously vanishes from Argon and it is supposed (supposedly) she was sacrificed to the god Artemis—but is saved by a goddess and pressed into the service of one of the temples. Here she has the chance of saving her brother from death and together they set sail for Greece. Their many adventures are all portrayed in the one scene act which lasts slightly over an hour.
Mr. Coburn as Orestes in "Iphigenia in Fauris" by Euripides is said to give a true and inspiring interpretation to the role. Mrs. Coburn takes the part of the reserved dignified and convincing Iphigenia.
One of the attractive features offered by this company is the singing of Shakespeare songs by a male quartet.

SUMMER SCHOOL FOR STATE HEALTH MEN
Sanitary Officers to Mee Here in Second Annual
Session.
A school for physicians and health officers, under the auspices of the State Board of Health and the School of Medicine of the University of Kansas, will be held at Snow hall, June 23 to 28 inclusive.
Specialists of national and state reputation will deliver lectures and perform laboratory experiments. They are: Surgeons, L. L. Lumsden and W. C. Rucker of the U. S. Public Health Service, Dr. J. J. Sippy and Dr. S. J. Crumbine of the Kansas State Board of Health, Dr. W. A. Evans, professor of preventive medicine, Rush Medical College, and former health officer, Chicago; Dr. John L. Hurty, secretary Indiana State Board of Health; Prof. L. E Sayre, dean of School of Pharmacy and药理学, State Board of Health, Dr. T. H. Righton, prof of Pathology and bacteriology, School of Medicine University of Kansas, and Dr. C. S. Kenney, superintendent Kansas State Board of
Prof. W. E. Higgins of the Law School will leave tonight for Madison, Wis., to teach in the Summer Session of the University of Wisconsin. He expects to be there until July 26, when he goes to Chicago to take up the work as secretary of the association for study of legal procedure and practice.
The course is open to all health officers and physicians and medical students of the State of Kansas and is free.
"Efficient health officers must be trained men along the modern lines of sanitary procedure," says Dr. Crumbine, dean of the School of Medicine. "A most skilful physician and surgeon may make a mighty poor health officer. The business of sanitarian is a profession in itself and high efficiency in public service along this line can not be expected unless we have men specially trained in public health matters."

To Kansan Readers
When the big whistle continued to blow for what seemed to be a half hour Friday morning several students thought there might be a fire or a Summer Session student escaping. But Chief Engineer C. A. Griffith says that it was only a bent rod which releases the steam that caused the trouble.
Whistle on a Toot.
NO CHARGE, THANK YOU
The summer examination is held two weeks later this year than it has ever been held before to allow students the opportunity for plenty of time to get home to take it.
The Kansan prides itself on its high class advertising. It carries no announcement that it cannot personally recommend. The Kansan staff finds its profitable to trade in the Lawrence stores that cater to student tastes and student pocket-books. Members of the staff store the Kansasan stores and Kansas City prices and stores and are happy just for the benefit of their fellow students that it is much more satisfactory to trade in Lawrence.

TRASH BOX FIRE BRINGS
OUT FIRE DEPARTMENT
Fire broke out in some unknown way on the north side of the Chemistry building Sunday morning between the hours of ten and eleven. No cause for the fire has been found. No damage was done except that the trash boxes were consumed along with the trash. The fire department was called upon and was on hand to see that the flames did not spread.
POTTERY CLAY IN ELLSWORTH COUNTY
University Making Tests to See if Such is The
Case.
Clay from Ellsworth county is being tested in the clay laboratory of the School of Mining Engineering to ascertain whether a new deposit of pottery clay has been found in Kanpottery clay has been found there. Residents declare that the clay in Ellsworth county, which has been used for many years in making common building bricks, is in reality of a quality that will produce the finest pottery. It is thought a new industry will spring up, and many thousand dollars worth of pottery equal to the French ware will be manufactured.
"While we are not able to make a report on the Ellsworth deposits at this time," said Paul Teetor, in charge of the clay testing laboratory, "we hope to know definitely in a few weeks. Reports from students in the field are very encouraging, the area around teetor is purifying, and kiln baking must be made before we have certain proof.
The test of good pottery clay is the absence of warping and iron, and the presence of a strong color and a clear glaze.
"Clay possesses the peculiar property of being easily molded while moist, together with that of hardening and glazing on being baked. This is the foundation of the pottery and brick industries."
Miss Olivia Olsson, of the music department, assisted by Miss Greisinger, will sing old songs at a picnic to be held at Woodland Park Tuesday afternoon, for persons over seventy-five years of age.

Committee Plans a "Glad to Meet You" Occasion.
THE TIME: FRIDAY THE 20TH
The Place: Robinson Gymnasium- And There'll be a Glass of Punch For Each
Students and professors of the Summer Session will mix in one big joyous frolic in the Gymnasium Friday evening. Everybody is urged to come and bring his good nature with him.
It will be a general get-together and glad-to-meet you affair, designed for the specific purpose of getting everybody enrolled for the Summer Session acquainted with each other. There will be plenty of cool air, and refreshments and a good live program with various faculty members as head-liners. Professor Higgins, of the Law School, will be urged to put on his world-famous "pump" monologue. This is absolutely one of the best attractors off of the stage today. The only reason Professor Higgins hasn't appeared before the royal thrones of Europe with this stunt is because the royal houses are so far away.
Professor Wileoc, of the Greek department will be asked to lead one set of a Virginia reel while Chancellor Strong will lead another.
In addition to these high class and polite numbers there will be various other stunts by musical and gymnastic artists.
This will be the second annual Summer Session Mixer. The one last year was a big success and the committee of this year is making plans to make this the best ever. Things will begin to stir promptly at eight o'clock, and every one is expected to be there with his most informal mood. The faculty is seriously considering the idea of assessing a fine of fifty cents upon all students who do not come out and put a little joy into the occasion.

The committee in charge is: Prof. S. J. Hunter, chairman; Nadine Nowlin, Prof. Merle Thorpe, Eleanor Keith, and Earl Potter.
ART EXHIBIT PLEASES
Students Take Opportunity to Inspect 500 Drawings and Paintings
The art exhibit in the Administration building is in accordance with the K. U. habit of doing things big. With five hundred drawings and paintings on view a wide variety of theme is possible, from peaceful, drowsy scenes in California to blue seas of tumbling waves, and from picturesque color effects of woodland to delicately blended portraits of milady.
Elfirida, a portrait of an aristocratic woman, by Ben Ali Haggin is a splendid piece of work, which attracts the visitors at once.
The serious deep lined face of George Ade, in a portrait by Robert W. Grafton, stands in striking contrast to his jolly "Fables in Slang" videos delighted thousands of magazine readers throughout the country.
On the whole, the exhibition is worth any student's time, not only for its instructive value but for the entertainment as well.
