Rock Chalk Pile Idea Goes Back to Cairns Antedating History. According to Professor Melvin
Mr. Arlo Putnam,
Chief Saccha
My Dear Mom, Mr.atum: As per
your request I submit herewith a
resume of the presentation of the
Rock Chalk File ID which I
made at your instance to Saccha
and conference of students, and
Very truly yours.
Frank E. Melvin.
The action of Sacred, with the backing of the Men's Student Council for reviving this spring the Rock Ridge Foundation, various distinctly constructive undertakings that have collected credit upon the student leaders and organizations
In building the Rock pile we follow pool, president for few customs of man have been so long and universally followed as the building of churches in Jerusalem, stones as popular 'rallying centers.' They antelate all history; perhaps they began their practice of rehearsing the past which has grown into what we call history; for do we not learn that the story of Palestine, turning to Palestine from Egyptian bondage, had to build such a cairn, the meaning of white stones they were required to recount from generation to generation forever. Like landmarks on high places, from China's mountain sacred to Corinthia westward back to California's Mt. Rochiboux. Across America, even on our universities, they are reminders of the retreat of native and the advance of the pioneers.
The idea of such a cairn on our campus, built from our native "Rock chalk"—even as our first buildings weeze is an old student dream. It was conceived under the influence of a famous teacher, who marked the "new" advance movement with the opening of Chancellor Strong. It was also inspired by pride in the history and biography of the "older" K. U., told by M. W. Sterling, the Scotts, Morgan, White, Slosson, and Lester, and by the graduate Magazine (thanks to Tompkin and Flint); and stressed in the coincident local semi-centennial celebrations. Also came stories of vital influence of such traditional form of school "boylofts" as Harvard University and the Dart-Morty Memorial and the like.
News came too of the saving of the Missouri volumes and of the building of the hillside "C" by California students. All this emphasized the need for better instruction in our own way, so the Rock Chalk Pile was suggested as an entirely individual, simple and natural way of expressing K. U, history and centering K. U, activities of present students. It was so universal that other schools might have caries, no other could have such a "Rock Chalk" rallying center. The original arguments for a Rock Chalk Pile are still valid. Indeed time has not only confirmed but greatly increased the effect of increased faculty and student body and the joint tendency of time and numbers and environmental changes to progressively weaken and obliterate our recognition of the University. This is necessary for a Rock Chalk Pile may be thus stated today:
a—his visual reminders of epocar incidents in our past, through marked stones.
b-By commemorative ceremonies and interpretative addresses at stonelavings
To visualize K. U. history and empties our curve thereto:
---
- By creating new association
  rules for past post
  assignments by the File
  school railers, loyalty meetings,
  connection with commencement
In Society
—To cultivate K. U. loyalty and i real "school spirit!"
Spring-like decorations transformed Eckle's hall into a variable garden of flowers, including "chink" Shoaltail's nine piece orchestra tra played ceenchanting tunes for the program of dances. Punch was served by a team of women, Edwards, and Mrs. Anna Shanklin chancences during the evening, as well as L. E. Phillips of Bartlett, Okea.
n—Bz creating an intelligent pride in K. u's Past and hence greater care for keeping up the record and welfare of our culture.
During the afternoon a fashion show was presented by various members of the sinority in co-operation with H. B. Bullell of Bullell's store
The Alpha Gamma Delta sorority gave its annual bridge party yesterdays a benefit of the children's camp maintained by the national organization at St. Paul's School, and a charge of the affair was Genevieve Elliott, Helen McGee and Chelol Holt.
Fifteen members of Pi Beta Phi sorrelly attended the founder's day banquet on April 14, 2017 at Mo., year-end evening, at the University club. The banquet is an annual event for alumni and city alumnae association of Pi Beta Pi. Besides the members who attend the banquet, many are inductees.
Members of the School of Business gave a banquet Thursday night at Wiedemann's tea room, at which Chancellor and Mrs. E. H. Dudley, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, and Dimmore were guests of honor. Roland S. Hall acted as toastmaster.
b-By defining and preserving our "traditions" in line with their true meaning and history.
—By providing a university “rallying center” which by symbolism refers to K,U. of K,U. shall help to keep all K,U. activities with real touch and feel.
—To stimulate K. U. activity and personal responsibility:
auction of K. U, men and women who have made definite purchase in state, nation, or international press (e.g. Carruth, Kolleg, etc.).
The commemoration of the growth of the University itself;
b—In support of the institutional services of the University.
The objectives sought by the Rock Chalk Pile should largely determine the principles for selecting the stones which commemorate the historic progress of the University of Kansas, as an institution and as a dynamic inception site. The mingled miples and their possible application may be suggested by a brief outline.
e-In spreading the spirit and ideals of the University (e.g., Friendship Fund).
a-Constitutional growth: Origin of chartering, evolution of control legislation (regents, etc.), schools, divisions, etc.; Epcena schools, divisions, etc.
signa, right shirt parade, etc.
2-The commemoration of the growth of the University influence
b- Institutional growth; Campus gains; increase in buildings and facilities, and gifts from friends Landmarks in growth of facilities
a—Institutional constitutions of the school's imperial activity; b—Imperial activity, art, music, science, etc.; c—Institution (e.g., library, etc.); Economic (Fight, chinch-bug, green-bug, business institutes, etc.); Social; Political
b-Personal contributions of faculty
students (e.g., Snow, Sayre,
Dyche, Currenh, Skilton, Praver,
Pearce, Tidemeyer, Hulley, Kate
Kemphes, Holiday, Funney,
Jones)
- Spiritual contributions, direct
  assistance, such as the Commission
  for the Relief of Belgium;
International Christmas Tree;
Although conception of the Rock Chalk Ple as here indicated, is an old idea it was not actively presented under the movement (cf. articles in Oread Magazine and Graduate Magazine of 1919-20). It was taken up then by Sachem, with the support of other men's colleges, who made a set of made with stones rescued from North College ruins, arranged as a letter "K" on the old site. As these were displaced with the building of Corbin College, the students' developments this winter led to the present revival, very fitting, again by the Sachem and Men's Student Council, which organizations had first united to project as "K. U. Loyalty" efforts.
Each chapter sang a group of songs and MacLean sang a group of songs their chapter. The K.U. chapter sang two songs which were composed by Marcin MacLeen of Lawrence, a composer who played several pianoMacLeen sang a group of songs and MacLein man played several piano
