Grasses of Prairie Grow On Unmolested
South of Blake hall is a little triangle of rough land that has never been broken, and upon which grow the flowers and grasses of the original prairie. Miss Hannah Oliver and Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, in talking about this patch of the campus, suggested the march of improvements, and set apart as a "Prairie Sod Reservation."
"This land overlooks the valley, and is near the historic Ft. Thatcher, the sight of which has not been marked. When the grasses and flowers are at their best in the hills, you can see the kind of a dedication, and perhaps a Prairie Sod Day," said Miss Oliver. "It would link the University with the early history of Kansas, and keep in mind our relation to the days of slavery." The trail that ranged from the Wakauka valley to the Kawu," she continued.
Do you think that the Thanksgiving game should be played on the Saturday before Thanksgiving?
The Inquiring Reporter
"Johny!" Engle, c27; "I do not,
because it would deprive many old
grads of the chance of seeing
the game who would be able to be
there if the game was played on the
holiday."
Dick Blue, 'c27: "I am in favor of playing the game on the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving. The appropriate sentiment of the day would be to show off the students could go home. The vacation would also be made longer."
George Andrews, c'93; "No, because that would mean the doing away with an old tradition that is being taught to thousands of students and old grade."
Wilfred Belgard, c23: “Sure, if that would mean that we would get a whole week of vacation, otherwise let it remain as it is.”
William Bruney, c26: "I sure am,
for then I would get to eat my
Thanksgiving turkey at home, and
that would be fine."
F. Gray Butcher, c27: "No, there would be something lacking and the day would not hold place it now holds and alumni of the two institutions."
Irene Getter, "c?t": "Thanksgiving is not a day for sports. There are so many more things to do during Thanksgiving vacation. I think that the game should be played the Saturday before Thanksgiving."
Steve Merrill, c26: "The Thanksgiving game should be played on Saturday so that the players can enjoy the holidays at home."
Ruby Phillips, c: 26 "The Missouri game should be played on Saturday so that students who wish to see the game can go home for Thanksgiving."
Wilbur J. Rose, e. 25, says: “Of all the games the Mississippi game should be supported and having it on them is a great possibility for many students to attend.”
Poor Adam Had a Tough Time as Progenitor of Human Race. Maintains Builder of Memorials
The 5,928 birthday of Adam, the traditional progenitor of the human race, was Oct. 28, 1924, according to John P. Brady, a retired contractor of Balkimore, Md. Adam was born on December 7, 1906, to Brady, in 1909, erected a monument to Adam on the Brandy estate at Roose's lane and Philadelphia road. The monument is a plain shaft surmounted by a sun dial. It bears
To the
To the Memory of Adam the First Man
In a circle surrounding the sun dial appear these words: Sie Transit Gloria Mundi.
When Mr. Brady erected the monument he made the following explanation: "After all there is no serious danger from a nuclear attack on hundreds of memorials to Adam. Some
of us may blame him for the misfortune we get in this world, but few of us wish that we had not been brought here. It was kind of Adam to come first. He paved the way for us to enter the city, which we pay to pioneers in all fields.
"It is easy to get one's name engraved in stone, and I thought it high time Adam had something to show for having been here. Adam had a pretty hard time of it. He was something of a hero after all."
Summer Term in Mexico
Shortly after he erected the monument to Adam, Mr. Bradley erected it to the constitution of the United States which he said because of his family's history, his pretensions had passed away. The monument is inscribed:
the Memory of The Constitution of the United States. Gone but not forgotten.
