UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
An Expanding Vocation
that merits the investigation of the high school student who is attracted towards science is that of
Chemical Engineering
The course in the University is complete, and after the necessary practical experience and work in research, leads to the degree of chemical engineer.
The demand for experts in this line is as keen as the desire of manufacturers for better processes and for the utilization of by-products.
The pecuniary rewards include both large salaries and liberal percentages of the saving which the chemist brings about.

Chance for Exhibits to Cross Continent, According to World
Black walnut taffy at Wiedemann's.-Adv.
to Weede
That the University exposition is a broader and more lasting institution than most people think, was the statement made by Orlin Weede, president of the project, this afternoon.
"Most people believe that the exposition will be held but once or else have no idea at all as to its permanency," said the executive. "The exposition is to be a biennial affair. It would not be practical to hold it every year, but it can be made a success when held once in two years."
"The exhibits that are used will be looked over and the best of them sent to the fairs at Topeka and Hutchinson. As the second exposition will be held in 1915, just prior to the opening of the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco, it is more than probable that some of the exhibits will be sent on to that fair."
"A general meeting of committees will be held the last of the week to take up in detail the plans for the exhibit to be shown next May."
A "FAN" IS FANATIC
So Says Latest Definition in Dictionary--More Slang

The following interesting communication from Fred Newton Scott appeared recently in the New York Evening Post:
"The volumes which have recently been added to the Century dictionary contain (if the specimen sheets may be allowed following definition of the sling term fan.
" (Said by some to be short for fanatic, but this implies a popular pronunciation fan-tic. Others associate the word with fan, which has various slang uses.) One who is very enthusiastic on the subject of athletic sports, fans, and fans' games is a baseball grounds and baseball games, a baseball "fend." (Slang.)
"In what is here said about the implied popular pronunciation of *fanatic* the etymologist seems to assume the following general principle; In the formation of a slang term by abbreviation, the first syllable of the original word will be selected only in case such evidence can be found. In question the validity of this principle, and offer as evidence the following list, mainly drawn from the student voca-
