Yellow Fever Control Started in November, Twenty-five Years Age
Thirteen Men Risked Lives in Tests to Find Cause of Disease
November marked the 25th anniversary of the conquest of yellow fever. It was 25 years ago that two privates and a few medical officers of the United States army under Major Walter Reed at a camp in Texas and were experimented put in order that yellow fever might be conquered.
Like many other discoveries this one was not made all at once or by any one man. One year after the close of the Spanish-American war the dreaded yellow fever broke out among the American troops stationed in Mexico. Major Reed a commissioner, whoMajor Reed was appointed to look into its cause and transmission. Twenty years before, the theory was advanced that the disease was transmitted by mosquitoes. Major Reed determined to test this theory by using human heat and by exposing the commissioner to the commission offered themselves also. The volunteers permitted themselves to be bitten by mosquitoes that had hung yellow fever patients. Doctor Lazear, a member of the commission, became ill with fever and died. Another member, almost dead. The experiment was tried on eleven other men and nine of them broke down with yellow fever. There were some sk�ptics who claimed that infection might be caused by contact. Major Reed devised conditionally absolutely by direct blood of blood from a yellow fever patient, or by an infected mosquito bite, could the disease be contracted.
Once the cause was known it was possible to stamp out the disease. Major Reed wrote later in his account of the experiment, in speaking of the volunteers, "In my opinion this exhibition of moral courage has never surpassed in the annals of the United States army."

College Football Games Lack Appropriate Songs
(United Press)
New York, Nov. 30 - The tremendous dramatic spectacle involved in a modern college football game viewed by sixty to eighty thousand cheering fans has not one weakellacky lacks appropriate college songs.
This is the view of Harry Archer, himself a college man and a song writer of many successes. In Archer's opinion the huge partisan crowds at a football game should form an ideal chorus for spirited, original college songs but likewise in his opinion none exists.
The Yale "Boca Bola" "Down the Field Harvard," Princeton's "Tiger Songs," "Go Amherst," "On Wisconsin," and "Go Chicago," are probes not known but known by those traced to other than original sources, said Archer.
He recommended concerted effort among college student bodies toward the evolution of college songs express- real individuality and personality rather than the mere re-adapitation of old English drinking tunes.
"The football game is not unlike a musical comedy," Archer explained it describing the need of good songs for his game. "The song singing before the game is the overture. The game play, the dialogue and the intermission between halves compares with the entire act with the entire body plagging the songs again."
If the particular college has a theme song it is pounded into the public. No stage presentation holds any where near the public interest and enthusiasm commanded by the big football games of today. But how they do need good songs to express that enthusiasm."
Two graduate students and two seniors were initiated into Phi Delta Kappa, men's national honorary education fraternity, at its first initiation held at the Colonial Tea Rooms last Tuesday.
Phi Delta Kappa Initiates Four
The men initiated were; L. L. Thompson and Victor H. Kelley of the Graduate School, Lee E. Shirley, ed 26, and Harry A. Hill, ed 26.
It was with high hopes and glamourful illusions that D. H. Robinson, who with E. J. Rice and F. H. Snow constituted the initial faculty of the University when the doors of North Carolina in 1869 accepted his appointment to the professorship of languages in the new school.
As he tells us in his "Reminiscences of that early time, written in 1891, Mr. Robinson arrived in Lawrence early in September, 1866, bringing with him plans for an elaborate course of study and teaching for the expected students. Upon his arrival he met his colleagues. After establishing themselves in a boarding house on Kentucky street, he and Professor Snow started out on a trip to Princeton, Dr. R. W. Olivier. At this time the chancellor was the principle officer of the board of regents, and not a member of the faculty. The next year, 1867, however, the office of chancellor and professor Snow began a two young professors had sallied forth with the object of discovering what preparations were necessary for the opening of the university, they got little satisfaction from their visit; they were greatly impressed by the atmosphere of the chancellor's study, where Doctor Oliver and Regent W. A. Starrett, who was present, were entertaining themselves with witty stories and pin-o-mine; the pipes in use varying from a wooden one to a metal one; Robinson and Snow, half sick with the tobacco smoke which they had never infused in such quantities before, excused themselves late in the evening. They naked the chancellor their question, and made it clear that Goulet gave them their instructions.
"I would advise you, young gentlemen, to go to Mr. Jackedick gun shop and hire some guns," he said, "And to Mr. O'Connor's live stable and hire some saddle horses and go away back on the hills and hunt rabbits. We be as good preparation for your work next week as you can make."

Two Kansas architects are working their way around the world, according to George M. Beal, instructor in the department of architecture. ___
Engine School Graduates Take Trip Around World
Frother, Froberk, e22, and Edgar Briesek, e22, left the home in Kansan City a few weeks ago in a Ford. They stopped in Lawrence a few days to visit their friends and then went on vacation where they will spend the winter.
Next summer the engineers will go to San Francisco and from there to Honolulu, then to Japan and west around the world.
Frohkeb and Brisak have been working in New York with two of the best architectural firms in the United States since graduation. Frohkeb has been in the office of H. Van Buren and Brisak. Frohkeb has been in Hirson's office.
Kent Broeck was a Tau Beta Pi, president of the School of Engineering, a member of Scaheim, Scarab and Sigma Tau while attending school. Briesak was also a member of Tau Beta Pi, Scarab, and Sigma Tau.
There will be a moon day luncheon of the Bacteriology Club at Snow hall Tuesday, Dec. 1, at 12:30.
The two architects are not worrying about time, according to Mr. Real as they intend to take at least a year or two to make the trip.

the preparation of entrance examinations, they decided to consult with Professor Riese, the acting president of the new school, before acting upon Chancellor Oliver's advice. But that worthy man was, in fact, a member whom he beheaded to be called upon to read at the formal dedication of the University. He insisted upon reading the portion already composed. The following gem of two lines, which refers to the deluge on the occasion of Quantrell's then recent visit to the office of Mr. Robinson's memory;
"Then ran the streets with patriot's blood.
Not drop by drop, but in a food.” Not wishing to disturb the worthy poet while the muse was upon him, the two men retired, and the expected morning of opening came around before the mystery was solved. The faculty arrived briefly at the first students in the form of a few local boys and girls came struggling in. Then began the search for those college classes. Seniors and juniors were given up at the first glance, for if any were present they were told that no one would discover the discovery of a sophomore or freshman class seemed doubtful. In the end they were to be content with “a few candidates for the lower forms of a rather different high school.” Then at last Mr. Robinson perceived the wisdom of his advice about hunting chipmunks.
During this first year 20 women and 29 men students were admitted to the preparatory department of the university. Of this total of 57 students, 38 enrolled at the university. Thus the future great institution closed its first year in trimph.

Why Risk Burglary When It's So Easy to Buy Oberworth Clothes $38 on the New- Budget Buying Plan
Last night thieves entered our island window and took several suits and Obercoats. Of course, we can understand why they would choose Oberworth clothes, $38, for they are really wonderful values. What we can't fathom is why one should risk burglary and the possibility of "paying" for years, when it's so easy to buy on the Budget Buying Plan and pay in ten weeks!
