Numerous Intimate Landmarks That Grace University Campus Mean Much in Life at K. U
Studentia come and students go to old Mt. Orcad, one of them never taking the time to know the more intimate landmarks connected with the very life and existence of the Uni-licious who have a ensuasive acquaintance with the obvious offences which they pass daily but have no further interest in them.
Many spend four years or more at K. U. had never know that there was once an old fort standing just east of the preexisting Fraser hall, when all that remained were the barracks and trenches in 1862. There is North College hill which is gradually erowing out of the knowledge of today students although older ones continue to build their first classes ever held at the University of Kansas were conducted in the building constructed there. But it has long since been destroyed to preserve the buildings which now stand upon the hill.
Also cast of Fraser is the statue variously named as "The Pioneer" and the "Corn-Planter" which formerly graced the plaza building built by Dr. Simeon Bell, presented by Dr. Simeon Bell. Another familiar statue is that of "Ucle Jimmy" Green which stands before the Law building, where "Ucle Jimmy" dean Daniel Chester French was the sculptor of the statue which is a part of the memorial to the students of the University who lost their lives in the World War. The stadium and the building also are a part of the memorial.
No student can long be on the campus without diding it necessary to refor to the clock to店 the tower of the building. The first clock was put in in 1896 but was
out of order for many years the reserve room clock in Watson library. Unlike that time-piece, however, the old clock was replaced in 1920 by a new one which does its best to get rid of noise. It costs $836 a m, at least half of the time.
Graduating classes have added other handmarks to the campus. One of the most useful is the bulletin board mounted on the walls of the trucks before Robinson gymnasium. It was presented by the class of 1915. Popular indeed in spring is the stone bench on the slope of Green hill at the University by the class of 1914.
Another bench, known as the "ted bud" bath was given to the Univer-
sity of Southern California in Miss Edith Clark in memory of Mate Katie Stephens; verses about the bud tree. And, properly enough, it is placed between two lovely red bath trees.
Then there is the Pi Beta Phi bench, southwest of Blake hall, which overlooks the most beautiful view to be obtained from Mt. Orend—the Wakarusa valley. It was erected in 1823, and is centennial of the security at K. U.
And, last but far from hear, is Marin grove and the lilac hedge. The smooth green slopes of Marvin and its wealth of shade trees make it a favorite plonic spot. It was named after Chancellor James Marwin who had so much to do with flowers and the lilac hedge once seen is never forgotten. It was planted during the administration of Chancellor Marvin which lasted from 1874 to 1882. The inspiration of poets and the most beautiful object on the campus is the memory of his memory in memory than any of the other landmarks on old Mt. Orndon.
New Periodical Cases and Books Are Added to Library Equipment
Valuable Manuscript Collection Is Being Displayed on Third Floor
Freshen and old students alike will find Waltz Library, dressed up in boner of their coming with the wooden walk and stops freshly installed. The floor floors were tinted and designed, and the floors rebranded and waxed.
New books that were ordered for this school year have been coming in all summer. The periodical room at the library is equipped with cases for the magazines. The periodicals are distributed in the course according to the various department headings, and the magazine itself is精装, except the popular magazines which are placed on a rack. A card index on the desk shows under which department individual magazines may be found.
An outline of the various rooms of the library might prove of assistance to new students. The general reserve room is on the basement floor. All books on reserve may be secured from the desk in this room except biology books, social sciences, and the general reserve room, and books of education psychology and philosophy which are on reserve in the west room on the first floor.
All books for required reading in any course are placed on reserve and may not be taken out of the library.
The periodical room is across the hall from the education, psychology and philosophy reserve room on the second floor. There are main reading room and main circulation desk. There are graduate study desks in the main reading room and also in the stacks. Only graduate students are permitted to go back in the stacks.
Several new cases for the display of valuable old books and manuscripts have been added to the equipment of the library and may be found on the third floor.
Giant Salamander Given Japanese Prince Regent
Tokyo, Sept. 18. - A giant salamander, said to be over one hundred years old, was recently presented to the Prince Regent of Japan by the head priest at the Enyo temple at Anakura. The amphibian is over four feet long and lives in a pond in the temple ground for 150 years, it is reported.
Salamanders of this size flourished in large numbers in past geologic ages but are nearly extinct at the present time. While turtles have been known for their longevity, it is the first recorded instance of an amphibian attaining such longevity.
