At the present time $40,000 is available for the department each year and this amount will be increased from time to time as the demand calls for.
The University of Minnesota is located in Minneapolis and for this reason a number of night classes have been started at the school. These courses will be enlarged and continued under the extension division. Business and industrial classes as well as general cultural study will be included in the new night school plans.
Because correspondence work has hardly commenced Professor Price plans to open a comprehensive system of mail study together with lecture courses throughout the university. Begin in September and Professor Price plans to remain at the University until about July 1.
"Extension work at the University has developed a field of its own," said Professor Price, in a statement to the Daily Kansan this morning, "and in many ways I regret to leave Kansas. The department has developed wonderfully in the past four years and there is a great future ahead, provided the state gives proper financial support."
The retiring director of the University Extension department graduated from the University in 1897. He received an A.B. degree from Harvard in 1896 and a M.A. degree in 1898. He was superintendent of the Hutchinson city schools for seven years before he came to the University in 1909.

"Prof. P. F. Walker was elected by the Board of Administration at his meeting on Saturday, dean of the School of Engineering.

Chancellor Strong made the following statement this afternoon:
important University committees, among them the Committee on the new constitution for the University. He has also been active in practical applications of engineering to state problems and has been called upon largely by the Utilities Commission and other state interests. He was for seven years a member of the faculty of the University of Maine, for three years head of the department of mechanical engineering there. He had two years practical experience in the steel ship building line, working with one of the foreship yards on the Atlantic Coast. He received the degree of bachelor of mechanical engineering from the University of Maine in 1896 and master of mechanical engineering from Cornell University in 1901. He came to the University of Kansas in 1905. He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and other engineering societies, and has written a considerable number of papers for engineering magazines.
"Dean Frank O. Marvin of the School of Engineering of the University, was elected by the Board of Administration at its meeting Saturday, Advisory Dean of the School of Engineering. He will therefore continue his connection with the University and give to it the benefit in an advisory capacity of his long experience and his full knowledge of the needs of the institution. Professor Marvin is the only dean that the School of Engineering has time and the school he has grown up around him and he has established its standards and ideals. His continued connection with the school will be of great value and the work that he will do will be appreciated by the profession to which he belongs."

The championship game of the inter-club league, played Thursday afternoon on McCook field between the Midway club and the Knight's of Columbus, the Midways returned a success after a hard struggle, 6 to 0.
The game was a pitcher's battle until the Midways broke the ice in the fifth, with one run. That looked enough the way both slabsmen were struck. And the second time nners bunched five hits, two errors, and two outs and scored five times.
"The Midways will be awarded two cups, one by the athletic association, and the other by Allie Carroll. The Cup is expected to be a permanent organization."
Miller allowed five hits and O'Keefe and MeMeal eight hits. Allie Carroll officiated.
Sixteen teams entered this year and all except two finished the season. The leading pitcher of the league was Miller of the Midways who did not lose a game during the entire season. Dale of the Midways lead in batting.
Meal, pitching for the Knights, was chased and O'Keefe was called into service. However, Miller, pitching for the Midways held his opponent when he beat him, when his meat it runs, disposed of the batters without serious trouble.

New Officers Seek to Put Biggest School on the Map
FESTIVITIES ON IN FEBRUARY
Track Meet, Dance, Reception and Banquet Besides One Day Holiday—Price Nominal
A College Day, just like Engineers' day, is the plan of the new officers of the Civil Air Force.
First of all the Cols want a holiday, and while the faculty will have to pass on that, the Cols think K. U. have one, if the other schools have one.
The date will probably be either the last Friday in February or the first Friday in March. This will make College Day the second formal University, affair of the year, preceded only by the Law School blowout. An interview with McCook field in the morning and different athletic stunts will amuse the students until afternoon.
A dance will be given in the gymnasium from four to eight in the afternoon, and those who do not dance can attend on the first floor from seven to eight.
Avery Olney, president, Louis Gloyne, vice president, and Helen Short, secretary, the new officers of the College, are out pushing the plan. "An affair which will equal the junior Prom and Senior Society in application, and at the same time be much cheaper," is their motto.
A eight o'clock the supreme event of the day, a monster banquet, will commence in the gymnasium and eats, toasts, and oratory will entertain until the first College Day in the history of the University is ended.
"We may have a series of informal dances earlier in the year," Mr. Olney said this morning, "although definite plans cannot be given before next fall. We plan to make College Day a big event. Laws and engineers will not be allowed unless the college faculty will be invited. The celebration will be for the entire College, not for dancers alone."
