THEN THE DYSPEPTIC PROF TURNS
PATER A PHILOSOPHER NOT CRITIC, SAYS MORE
Editor of Nation Interprets Paterism—Lectures Friday on "Fiona Macleod"
Paul E. More, editor of the New York "Nation" lectured yesterday afternoon at 4:30 in chapel on Walter Pater.
"Walter Pater," said Mr. More, "should not be considered a critic as he is often classed but his fames in his philosophy of life. His own ideas were so dominant in his works that he often misinterprets an author by inserting his own opinions. In his works one must consider them not from a critical point of view nor from a historical attitude but accept them for the philosophy of life which Pater gives.
"Paterism attempts to turn the body to the highest plane of mind to obtain beauty. Pater did not believe that one should prefer beauty to virtue but saw that through virtue and beauty, she found a way of training the greatest aesthetic training and could appreciate the beautiful."
Mr. More discussed Marius the Epicurean, Plato and Platonism and Histories of the Renaissance and Writings later was wrong in big interpretations.
In all his work Pater wrought with the greatest care, aiming at absolute precision in the expression of his thoughts and emotions. The result was an extremely delicate and refined style, delightful in its rhythm, but lacking in vigor and simplicity.
More speaks in chapel Friday and lectures in the afternoon on "Fiona Macleod—The End of Reverey."
"The University gets little credit for the service it renders to the numerous counties of the state," declared Prof. Erasmus Haworth, of the geological department this morning. Every day or so, during the session of the state legislature at Topeka, a letter is received asking for some definite information on any work that the University has done that aided certain counties. The representatives are in the dark as to the work the University is doing. Almost every county in the state has received benefits in one way or the other through this department."

NOMAPSAFTERMARCH1
Jayhawker Will Not Accept Pictures After That Date.
Says Hobson
If your picture should be in the annual, or if you are a member of an organization whose picture should be in the annual, and the negative has not yet been turned into the Jayhawker office action should be taken at once, for Asher Hobson, business manager, stated this morning that last month which negatives will be received. After that there is no possibility of getting your likeness in the book.
"Pictures of fifty organizations, 31 double and 19 single pages, have been turned in," said Mr. Hobson this morning, "but there are still a few out. Some of the seniors have also neglected to turn in their pictures, and they would help us a whole lot if they would attend to it right away. March first is positively the last day they will be accepted."
Good returns are being received from the thousand cards that were sent out to alumni soliciting purchases, as many of them want annuals. Hobson anticipates little trouble in disposing of the whole issue.
Vienna Journalists Mus
Make Own Way and Finish In 3 1-2 Years
"Wenn ich gestarted von Vienn war ich ganz tont gebrochen," said Joseph Rausch of Vienna, Austria, one of the two khaki-clad Germans who entertained with songs at chapel this morning. The other is Wm. Berner of Berlin.
They started July last and since then have come from Vienna to Hamburg, there to New York and from there to Chicago and on west afoot. The trip across the Atlantic was made by waiting tables in the dining room for passage, since one of the provisions of their contract with the Journal is that they must make their way as they go.
The two were attending university in Austria when the Vienna Journal offered them 60,000 marks (about $25,000) and world in three and one half years.
They are doing this at present by selling postcards on which is a picture of them and the statement "Walking around the world on foot."

MAY REVIVE CAFETERIA
The senate ways and means committee will include in the appropriation bill $25,000 for the construction of a laboratory building and tunnel on the Rodee hospital grounds. The tunnel will be used to convey patients directly into the main building, instead of carrying them a distance of thirty feet as at present. This is the only new building the committee would allow the University.

AMERICAN LANDSCAPES ARE TRUE TO NATURI
Prof. Griffith Distinguishe Between Impressionism and New Realism
"Visitors to the art exhibit should take particular notice of the new movement in American art shown in the landscape paintings," said Prof. W. A. Griffith, who has charge of the canvases, this morning.
"A few years ago a landscape was regarded as nature viewed through a temperament. The personal viewpoint was emphasized, and nature studies were regarded as opportunities for the free expression of diverse temperament. This is the school of Whistler, and we have several examples of canvases done by well-known artists of this school. An old English scene, loaned by Mrs. Snow, shows how utterly devoid of life and color pictures of this kind can be.
"The new movement is the growth of realism, and fidelity to nature. American artists lead in this form of landscape painting and have no superiors anywhere. American landscapes at an exhibition in Paris a few years ago surprised and bewildered the artists of the older school by their striking vividness. Their realism and actuality is presented like a scene viewed through a window. Edward Redfield, and several more artists whose landscapes we have typify this movement.
"The distinction between the two type is easily recognized. The one is faithful to nature, like a camera, only vastly superior, of course, and the other is impressionistic. The pictures we have well contrast the two schools, and students should note the difference."

AGGIES GET SMALL INCREASE OVER 1911
New Buildings Cut Out $90,000 Increase For College Maintenance
CRUMBINE'S SALARY PROBED
Statement That Dean of Medical School Was Drawing Two Pay Checks Found Incorrect.
Topeka, Feb. 20—The state Agricultural college will receive $25,000 for the next two years. Like Kansas University, it was given little consideration in the applications for new buildings. An allowance of $25,000 for a new laboratory at the Medical School at Kansas University was recommended and the agricultural college will get money for a new barn in the allotment for buildings.
The appropriation for the agricul-
tural college has been practically
worked out by the senate ways and
means committee. It is as follows:
Maintenance, 1914, $300,00; 1915,
$225,000.
Branch experiment station, 1914,
$45.000; 1915, $45.000.
Extension department and institutes, 1914, $45,000; 1915, $50,000.
Experiment station, 1914, $25,000; 1915, $25,000.
Books for library and fire protection,
1914, $10,500; 1915, $10,500.
Repair and improvement grounds,
1914, 15, $10,000; 1915, 15, $10,000;
new equipment and increased work in some departments, 1914, 15, $54,000;
1915, 15, $10,000.
Mill equipment, 1914, $7,500.
Animal husbandry barn, 1914, $15,
000; 1915, $10,000.
These sums mean an increase of over $90,000 a year for maintenance for the college, which the ways and means committee believes will be amply sufficient to cover the needs of the school.
Figures on appropriation for other educational institutions have not been completed, but will probably be announced in a few days.

Aha! House Solon Unearths
Mystery of Twin Pay Check
Topeka, Feb. 20—Dean Crumbine's salary is the largest bug-bear of the house ways and means committee in their investigation of the state's payroll. Although Dr. Crumbine has not used a cent of the money appropriated by the last legislature for his salary as secretary of the state board of health he has been charged on the floor of the house with drawing two pay checks from the state for his services in that position and as Dean of the School of Medicine of the University of Kansas.
The committee found that Dr. Crumbie has been drawing a salary of $8,400 a year from the University in pay check drawn on the K. U. maintenance fund. Dr. Crumbie has asked the committee for a hear-
Mike Frey, of Geary county, stated that Dr. Crumbine was receiving two salaries from the state, but this statement was found to be incorrect as the $5,000 for his work as ser retary has never been touched. The $10,000, which he has been drawn as dean, is the only compensation that he has received from the state. So far the committee has been unable to figure out how he has filled two positions, received a salary from the state and left the pay check for one job untouched.
The committee has asked for more time to look into the matter.
CITIES APPRECIATE EXTENSION $ERVICE
That the work of the Extension department in its service to the cities of the state through the League of Kansas Municipalities is heartily appreciated is shown by the letters which Prof. R. R. Price, secretary and treasurer of the league, has received from city officials during the past two weeks. He intends to publish these letters in a pamphlet for use in a campaign to increase the membership of the league.
