Sentiment on Plan Being Taken Today—Council to Furnish Means If Students Will Back It
President Dodd and the Men's Student Council started last night to redeem recent campaign pledges by inaugurating today the first moves toward securing a Men's Student Union for the University.
Members of the Men's Student Council started circulating petitions to all schools this morning, trying to get more attention on the question of such a building.
Several plans have been considered by the Council, but nothing has definitely been decided upon. President Dodd said this morning.
"It is absolutely necessary to get the sentiment of the students on this matter before we can tell how far to go with the proposition. It has been the unanimous impression on the hill for several years that a general meeting place for men was set up, and we are trying to get something more definite than this generality."
All who sign the petition agree to pay two dollars for a year's membership, "provided the Student maintains suitable quarters next year."
For several years the Student Council has periodically raised the question of a Mens Student Union building but nothing has ever come of the various attempts. The preset council, to judge from President Dodd's speech on Students' day, is planning to start a Union in temporary quarters and if the proper interest is shown, try to get a permanent building after the plan has been proved to be successful.
MAY USE ROBINSON ESTATE FOR BUILDING
A committee from the Council is working on quarters for the Union and although the financial difficulties have been too great so far to warrant an acceptance of any plan suggested, the committee still hopes to bring out a feasible plan at a reasonable price.
Donation of Former Govern or Enough to Help Erect Science Laboratory
A new $200,000 science building to house the first two years work of the School of Medicine and kindred courses may be erected in the near future at the University.
The Robinson estate, a preliminary estimate of which placed the value at $198,000, will soon be converted into money. The money will probably be used in the erection of buildings, and the prevalent opinion among those closely connected with University affairs is that the money should be used to build a science building, since the School of Medicine and several other courses are in need of larger and better quarters.
What action the Board of Administration will take is not known, but the matter will come up for settlement soon.
The Robinson estate consists of 1,575 acres of land, located northwest of Lawrence. Some is upland, some is undurable river bottom potato land.
The money was left to the University two years ago upon the death of Mrs. Chas, Robinson, wife of the first governor of Kansas. Mr. Robinson died in 1894. His will made provision for the settlement of his estate upon the University after his death.
Chancellor Strong will deliver a commencement address at Atchison tomorrow night.
CARRUTH'S FAREWELL IN CHAPEL TOMORROW
Vice-Chancellor of Kansas University to Address Students Last Time
TO STANFORD IN AUGUST
A Student Here in 1874—To Offer Five Courses—ChancellorWants Everybody There
Professor Carruth will speak at the last chapel of the school year tomorrow morning, and as it is the last time he will address the University as a member of its faculty, I earnestly hope to have a very large attendance of both faculty and students, and that work of any sort will be suspended during that hour.
Frank Strong, Chancellor
Tomorrow morning at chapel Professor Carruth, vice-chancellor of the University, will make his farewell address to the institution with which he has been associated for the past thirty-nine years.
Dr. Carruth entered the University of Kansas as a student in 1874. He was out of school for two years, and graduated with the degree of B. A. in 1880. As a senior in college he was first employed as instructor in English and modern language, and was made professor of modern language in 1882. In 1889 that chair was divided and he was made professor of German. The additional honor of vice chancellor of the University was conferred upon him in 1802.
Professor Carruth recently resigned to accept the chair of Comparative Literature at Leland Stanford Junior University. He leaves for California the first week in August, and will begin his work at Stanford the first week in September.
The following courses will be offered by Dr. Carruth at that University next fall:
American poetry exclusive of the drama.
National epics.
Introduction to Comparative Literature.
Tennyson.
The Hildebrand theme in General Literature.

The other day Professor Boynton expressed to the class his ideas about how nice it must be for other profs to get presents at the close of the school year. The class fell for it.
As the great Sherlocka de Wadel-
lo sat at his desk in the library yester-
day, a low, musical note struck
him. He only attuned chords of
his inner ear.
The sound ceased. Sherlocka resumed his perusal of the Satidy Evening Post.
Again that sound, low and menacing this time, came. It percolated from the direction of the stacks.
The great detective looked up at he Western Union timepiece on the table before him. He was still unaware of what he had just participated in dinner.
News of other similar gifts is momentarily expected.
