Rock Chalk Pile Establishment Leads to Increased Interest in Development of Famous Ye
The recent activity connected with the establishment of the Rock Chalk pile has revealed a general interest in Hill traditions and a desire to know the real facts regarding their origin and growth. An example of this wide spread is the recent call of Scheenecte for the true history of the K, U, yell.
This phase of college history was carefully investigated by Prof. F. E. Melvin, of the department of history, and reported in the Graduate Magna-cursus of the University without some interesting details, which have since been brought to light. It is the purpose of this article to give the exact facts, as nearly as they can be determined, by excerpts and imitations from the papers of the time.
There is general agreement on the origin of "LH," which was the big annual meeting of the Science Club. Now the first annual meeting of this club was reported in the K. U. Courier as May 21, 1905; this activity was the subject at which Prof. S. Bailey suggested the "Rah; Rah; Jahwink u'KU; U'ell. This seems the most probable date because of the fact that Prof. A. M. Wilcox says this wavil was revised by Prof. A. R. Marsh, of the department of English, soon after he came to the University in the latter version of Professor Mihai's version devised by Professor Mihai for the "Rock-Chak" for the "Rah; Rah" in the earlier form.
The "Rock-Chalk" was suggested to him by the chalk strata of the Cretaceous geological period which covers the upper part of the interiors in the state, "Rock-Chalk shaded with 'Jayhawk' so the yell in its present form was evolved. In the K.U.Courier of Nov. 4, 1887, he described a new rock that starts with a reference to the K. U yell. From this it is plain that the yell in its final form was used before the fall of 1887, which is the erroneously named in the usual story of its origin.

In Society
Delta Sigma Lambda fraternity gave its spring formal Friday night at the county club. The decoration suggested a Florida club. Flowered trellises, an illuminated containt, a wreath, and a set of chimes which announced舞es, added colorful lights to the ceiling, and the party was the moonlight night, during which a bright moon in the sky pierced through the window, replacing the light in the ball-room. Jimmy Mitchell's orchestra furnished the mu-
Favors for the guests were glass glasses, water and Champoriones were Mrs. A. C. Doc, Chaporones were Mrs. A. C. Doc, H. M. Dohman, I. M. Dohman, M. Dohman, Prof. and Mrs. A.

One of the levelers of the formulas given to the year was that of the formulas for the day at the house, with a four-course dinner at the house, and a four-course dinner was furnished by Ronald Jetmore's
The rooms of the house resembled a small, quiet apartment awiring overhead, and huge umbrellas in lavender, green and yellow walls. The windows of flowers banked about the fireplace and the air was a gentle air of summery warmth, as did the bright striped covers on the chairs under the bed. They rose with rose and gold covering. The guests were seated at quartet table
The spring alumni party given night at night on the Stigma. Nu house were a music of fresh flowers and whoa werares
The chaperones included Mrs. Annie P. Young, Mrs. Harry Frazze, and Proof and Mrs. J. Wheeler.
At noon today a banquet will be served at the house in honor of the visiting alumni.
Quartet tables were arranged for supper on the side veranda. Harvey and Kyle, dressed in shiny musician costumes for the dancing. The chaperones were Mrs. Gertude Beeler and Mrs. E. W. Strayer. A large number of old-town guests attended the party.
The Phi Kappa house was decorated artistically with trellises making room for plants, flowers and which were fresh flowers of all colors, for its spring formal Friday night stroll. The entry door is front porch we sprayed spires and front porch we sprayed spires and lines, entwined with footnotes of vari-
The common use of the yell evidence came in the year 1887-88. This is in accordance with the reclection report of Mr. Bacon, which he was during the year in which he was on leave for study at Johns Hopkins University—to which the Courier reports it is appropriate.
The form—the last change to be made in the yell—probably came very soon after the adoration of the yell by the present day football crowds of 30,000 or so, may be shown to have begun on Feb. 10, 1888 was written.
"The K. U. yell is not often used except after a big victory, then on the quiet night air of Lawrence it becomes Rock Cliff; Chalk Jump; KUULLUU."
The Courier for Feb. 3 of the same year mentions the fact that: "Hawk-Chuk, Jayhawk, K. U." is "Kansas State University's slogey." Mention is made too of the fact that the yell was not heard by any of the big oratorical contests, doltes, etc.
This old yell has achieved wide spread fame and popularity. The president of the New York alumni, Mr. Carl Cannon, reports that the Army has adopted a yell modelled after the "Rock-Chalk." It was decided by vote during the Olympics at Wellington to college yell in the world. Its purpose is as broad as its popularity. A clipping from the University Daily
chipping from the University Daily Kansan recently found says:
"This yell, besides being a spur to the flagging athletes at home and abroad, has been a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night—in China during the Boxer Rebellion, in the Cuban intervention, on the mission of the USSR, in the island of the Philippines, in the frozen lands of Alaska, in the diamond fields of South Africa, on the battlefields of France—wherever the young men of Kansas have gone forth to do their part in the world's work."
The annual spring rush party was held at the home of the fraternity as the chapter house. A note of simplicity marked the decor and flowers on the wall. The spring flowers banked about the fireplace and abloved the more artful, colorful dancers. Music was furnished in a large tub.
Chaperones and out-of-town guests included: Mrs. Belle Wilhelm, Mrs. Clementine Kitchener, Mrs. Eva Oaks, Mrs. Charles V, Hughes; Mrs. Miss Jennifer Dimmick and Ms. Elema Waste, both of Hiwa-Haeng; Mrs. Ivene Wimsen, El Dorado.
