"Members of Square and Compass decided that conditions at the hospital required a visit from the secretary, told a Kaisan reporter this morning. "The building in which the hospital is located was built for a residence and is not designed for an effusion."
"The personnel of the hospital is of the finest and most efficient type, and we have heard nothing but praises for the staff, but how can a good staff be efficiently when it is handled by prowved conditions and poor equipment.
"What would we do in case of an epidemic?" Handicaps from the pres-scription needles suffering and might even cause loss of life. In case of an accident, or if an emergency operation was necessary, there would be no option to be held.
"The state should provide for the protection and health of its own and those of its students at the University, and should be glad to furnish the money for such

Carl Gray States Vital Importance of Transportation
President of Union Pacific
Believes Railroad Has
United North
and South
In speaking of the importance of transportation as a factor in our national life, Carl Gray, president of the American Association for convocation this morning, stated that, without it, a nation of such magnificent distances as ours could not have a single mind in anything. "It is the impression of a southern state that the war was a lack of understanding by each of the two divisions of the country, Mr. Gray said. "Transportation of the nation and the condition that made this lack of understandable possible."
Among the various facilities of transportation Mr. Gray believes that the railroad has done more than any busing about a feeling of understanding.
"Railroad transportation is practically a modern thing. In 1828, the year that construction was begun upon the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, an Ohio town refused to allow its school house to be used as a place in which to debate upon the desirability of a railroad system that a conveyance which could travel 15 miles an hour was an instrument of evil," the speaker related.
Great Increase in Mileage
"At the outbreak of the Civil War his country had approximately 30,000 miles of railroad. This increased to 150,000 miles in 1825," Mr. Gray said. He pointed out, the act that although the United States has only 6 per cent of the population of the world, it has 40 per cent of the railroad mileage. "I was doing this down during the war," Mr. Gray said. "Ninety-five per cent of the war activities" were carried on within a space which might be included by a line drawn from Portland, Maine, to Boston and from there to Hampton Roads, Va. This caused the most concentrated volume of business that the world has ever seen and the disposition of so many cars was a problem which arose in this crisis. However, the quantity of the railroads was untouched.
"Federal control of railroads brought about one great revolution in the railroad business. Railroads were started as private enterprises and the conception of public duty was born out of their necessity. Railroads with a guantanamo character has grown with the years, however. After the war the officers knew that a vast improvement in service and attitude was necessary or private operation would come to an end. Accordingly they have built up as near as possible a national company and consolidated as an organization with private ownership can do.
No Congestion Since 1920
Mr. Gray said that the improved conditions had not been brought about by the railroad men alone, but also by the co-operation of business men who realize that a co-ordinated system of railroads is necessary.
"There is no longer any hearing of cars and in the last six years there has been no congestion. The congestion in 1920 was brought about as a result of federal operation and the car approach approximately one billion dollars."
That all kinds of transportation are necessary if this country is to attain its manifestly intended destiny, Mr Gray believes. However, he thinks it unfair that he railroads must subdue to so great a legal restriction while the other forms are allowed to operate without interruption because can carry on cut throat competition, which places the railroad at a disadvantage.
Other offices of the Union Pacific railroad who were guests at the convocation were H. J. Plumbb, general surgeon, and H. J. Kallu, general freight agent, T. J. Sweeney of the State's bank, who was formerly an employee of the Union Pacific in Lawrence, was also a guest. The School of Arts played two violin solos before Mr. Gray's address.
