1627 Students Had Enrolled Last Night----800 Fresh-
Hom
men Here
Sixteen hundred and twenty-seven students had registered and enrolled in the University when it ceased yesterday evening at six o'clock, or three hundred more than at the close of the corresponding day last year. Yesterday was the biggest enrollment day in the history of the school.
Registration was suspended this morning in order that the gymnasium could be prepared for the chapel exercises. It was resumed at one o'clock and will continue all day Saturday and Monday also if it is necessary.
"It is difficult to ascertain at the present time just what proportion of the number are Freshmen." Mr. Foster said: "I imagine the number will reach eight or nine hundred. I know that there are over six hundred straight freshmen, but the number of first year men is indefinite."
Professor Jones has been in charge of the water purification plant in Washington, D.C., one of the largest and most modern plants of the kind in the country. Professor Berg has been head of the department of civil engineering in the Pennsylvania State Military College. Both men have received the best training from Eastern universities.
The work of Prof. W. C. Hoad, now in the faculty of the University of Michigan, has been divided between two new members of the engineering faculty, Prof. Grandville R. Jones and Prof. R. B. H. Begg who hold the chairs of sanitary and municipal engineering and sanitary and hydraulic engineering. The new men are both from the East and come from important positions in sanitary engineering work.
TWO NEW MEN HANDLE WORK IN SANITATION
The interest in civic improvements throughout the state and the demands made by municipalities on the University's facilities for handling problems in sanitation have called for the extension and development of the work carried on by Professor Hoad. The two new men will handle this branch of state service work while at the same time taking care of the increasing number of engineering students who are turning to the study of sanitation as one of the most promising fields in modern engineering.
Growing Demands of Kansas Cities Cause Division of Field Occupied by Prof. W. C. Hoad.

INTRODUCED BY CHANCELLOR
In a Strong Speech The Ideals of Men and Nations Were Briefly Outlined.
For the young men and women just entering the University, the most important factor to consider is that what has been started should be finished.
VICTOR MURDOCK.
Victor Murdock, congressman from the eighth Kansas district, was introduced this morning by Chancellor Strong, and gave the opening address of the University of Kansas to the students of the department and many citizens of Lawrence.
In the opening part of his address,
Congressman Murdock asked to leave one thought with his hearers which he hoped would remain with them long after he had been forgotten.
His words were, "Believe me sinceres."
"This is a new age," said the speaker, "and you are a new people. Many people say that they are too busy for politics. I believe that there is no business that is not second to politics. To care for politics is to have convictions, and this nation is run by convictions.
Cultivate Your Convictions
Cultivate Your Convictions:
"Begin now to have convictions.
There is no conviction worthy of the man who has conceived a conviction ever maintained without sacrifice, no advance in liberty but someone pays the price.
"Cultivate your instinct, your heart and your mind. In the first place, feed your instincts—feed them nature. In other words keep your eyes and ears open and be not blind to the blue of the sky and the song of the cave man is in you for a purpose and you cannot be great without him.
"Of your heart I can say, 'be kind, it pays.' And if you are kind you are great.
"There are two kinds of mind.
The one that leads and the one that follows.
One is a monarch, one is a peasant, whether the first is in a hovel or the latter is in a palace. For Shakespeare was a real king.
Taking Things For Granted.
Taking Things For Granted.
"Young men and women, the mine-
al warriors, the prisoners—
the thousands who travel ever and
anion to the slough of despond do not.
"The one great thought that I wish to impress upon your minds this morning, the one piece of advice that I give you today," this, do not take things for granted."
Congressman Murdock closed his address with an admonition to the students to "keep the instincts alive, the mind alert and the heart open."
"WELCOME TO OUR MIDST"
AT MYERS HALL TONIGHT
