MAGAZINE PUBLISHES PROFESSOR'S STORIES
NUMBER 5.
Atlantic Monthly Feature Special Series By Miss Margaret Lynn
A series of short stories by Margaret Lynn, assistant professor in the department of English, which has been running in the Atlantic Monthly for more than a year, is continued in this month's number of the magazine.
"The Weapons of Religion" appeared in the July number. It is a simple
Prof. Margaret Lynn
narrative of life in a country town, and makes a dull uninteresting place appear in a new light.
Students wandering on the campus at 8 o'clock last night were startled to observe showers of sparks blown from the roof of the Museum, one of the University's most beautiful buildings. Investigation showed that the fire rose from a bucket of live coals left on the roof by tinders.
"A Green Thought" which is the September contribution is the sixth of a series built about a little girl of the prairies.
MANY OLD STUDENTS
RETURN TO PHARMACY
Miss Lynn says that the stories are all imaginary and that she gained her knowledge of the prairie from the conversation of her friends.
Dr. Duncan Coming
What gives promise to be the most successful year in the School of Pharmacy has just begun. Already the enrollment far exceeds that of last year. Not only have many of the graduates returned to resume their work, but the number of student staking a Bachelor of Science degree has increased to twice the number of other years. Only the junior class falls below the average. The return of so many of the older students has greatly pleased Dean L. E. Sayre, who has tried to bring this condition about. With so many students the interest in the work is likewise increased. In talking to Dean Sayre, he remanded: "Prospects are very bright for the ensuing year, especially so with so many old students back to take up the higher work."
Dr. Robert Kennedy Duncan, head of the department of Industrial Research here and at the University of Pittsburgh, is expected to arrive in Lawrence Sunday and spend a few days here investigating the work which has been done in the laboratories during the summer.

Leap Year was the case of it all.
No, the hobble-skirted co-eed did not ask the English-suited football star for either his brawny palm in holy matrimony or a cork-tipped cigarette. But, like Halley's comet of last year, it was bound to happen once in the human cycle and no more
The rule is to open K. U. the first Wednesday in September after the 12th of the month. But the 12th of September fell on Wednesday (fatally injuring it, they say) this year, owing to Leap Year.
"Leap Year," says Registrar Foster, with a grin.
Why did K. U., open so late this year?
"It will probably never happen again," said Registrar Foster. "Take one good look—going, going, gone."
