P. Cady, head of the department of chemistry his morning. "His work here has given me a deep organic chemistry, which is the train needed for the problem to which it has been assigned."
Haller is a member of Iota chapter Xi, Xi binary scientific research society, Alpha Chi Sigma, professional chemical fraternity, and伞ela, Masonic social fraternity. At the spring election he was elected to represent the Graduate School on the student's Student Council.
God of Weather Puts Jinx on Crimson and Blue Teams; Gives Too Generous Supply of Rain
The athletic record of Kansas in the last few years is remarkable when one considers the jinx of bonk during the 2013 season, following the Crismon and Blue teams.
The first memorable occasion of frowning skies in the mind of the present generation of students is the game with West Point year before last. A steady downpour bap-
tled the enchanted the players throughout the court. The Army Mules, being the better armys, won.
Last fall the gridiron team that tied for the Valley title had but few occasions on which to show its raw worth. The first game with Cronkton was played on a sonic field with rain falling at intervals. Cornerback and the second contest went little better. Angles was on a none too dry day. The 7 to 3 victory over Oklahoma was on a damp gridiron.
That same year the mighty Cornbucker machine invaded Lawrence, and in the most dismal weather that one could imagine, downed the light, but hard-dying, Jayhawkers, 28 to 0 at 10 a.m. The Kansas Relsays were initiated. Itrained the day before and during the early hours of the RELays a light drizzle slowed on the track. In spite of this, the Crimson and Blue athletics coped the two sprint relays, of them in near world's record time.
The horse-hide swatters won the valley championship this same year, although many of the games were played on heavy fields.
Then came the calamitous day o

the Missouri game with its stendy fall of snow and sleet. The crowd, an immense strong that filled the stadium, 30,000 strong, shivered while the grim athletes hattled to a 3 to 1 tie. It was an occasion that will long linger in the memory of all who were present.

Threatening skies almost burst out in wrath at the Relays this spring. It ruined hard earlier in the week, but the weather man relented toward the close, and the sun shone through scattered clouds.
At Aggleville, the first basc-
names this year were played on a
heavy field. Following this, the
team journeyed to Missouri and won
a couple from the Tigers. They
moved on over to Washington, ghd
to have fooled the jinx, only to have
the second contest stopped on
account of rain in the seventh lining
with the Fikers on the long end.
The tennis team went south, sweeping a pathway of victory before it. It too, found that some of the games had to be called off on account of these injuries, that these rickets wilders are going to be hard to keep away from a title.
The first home dual track meet of the year, with Nebraska, May 8, was held in almost freezing weather. A cold wind blew from the northwest, while a penetrating dampness hung on in the air.
Last on the jinx roll comes the Game with the Ames Cyclones. A cold wind was blowing throughout the whole day. Still Kanaan conspires to record after record It is remarkable to say the least. Well tell the world!
"Hello, is this the Baptist church?" It was the Baptist church. A representatives of the K. U. Graduate Club made arrangements over the club's website in a banquet of the club to be held in the church parliaments or Friday evening.
High Hill Authorities Hold Stealthy Feast
It was to be the big party. Numerous representatives of Hill authority were to be present. As it was to be a radio banquet each member and guest was denoted by some part of the "walking" of a radio set. The Most High authority in the University was to be the Lord Speaker while lesser authorities were to be tubes, cells and so on.
So the plans were laid. Friday night came. The club members and their guests, austere and otherwise, journeyed to the Baptist church—and found it locked and dark. Where was the banquet?
The plans had been inidy by telephone, so a telephone guest was immediately started for the banquet. Colored Baptist church was ended.
Yes, they had. So the Most High Authority, otherwise known as the Lord Speaker, and the lesser authorities, otherwise known as the tubes, the colls, and so forth, journeyed to the colored Baptist church where they were greeted by the minister, and indulged in their banqueting.
Members of the Men's Glee Club will meet behind the stage in Robinson gymnasium at 9:55 Monday morning to sing in before the Honors convention—T. A. Larremore, Director.
"Had they made arrangements for a banon ; for the University Graduate Chab?"

Upsilon Chapter at K. U Will Have Charge of "Go to College Week" in
Lawrence

Lindley in a statement Saturday morning, speaking of the campaign being conducted during the week of May 11 to 18 by members of Alpha Phi Alma, national encourage members of their race attend high schools and colleges.

President Lodge Approves
"If through our efforts, we are able to stimulate the ambition of youth to that point which will compel them to ascertain what in life is good and what is evil, what ought to be done and what ought not to be done, a knowledge of phenomena as explained by and resolved into causes and reasons, powers, and laws with always certainty, and with their fellowmen, then we have we builded for the future and rendered to posterity and to mankind a service which is sacred."
President Coolidge says of this movement: "Our institutions will at last depend for their solidity and perseverance upon the intellectual capacity of the people to preserve and maintain them. Convinced of this, I am profoundly interested in every aspect of our work, which for it the fullest possible success."
The late President Harding said, "The need for effective work to reduce illiteracy among colored people is very great, and manifestly it can be accomplished chiefly through the companion of members of the colored race to do educational work among their own people."
This movement has received the endorsement and support of the governors of five states, and of the presidents of a large number of America's nations as well as the active support of various city educational boards of towns.

Olympian Games, to Be Held in Paris Soon,Had Ancient Beginnings in Greek History
This year at Paris we again observe the oldest and probably the most prominent of all festivals, the Olympian Games, which date back oneyard memory. in the ninth century, b. c., rhitus of Elis, Greece, is not to have reorganized the games, unambiguity peace between all Greeks during the festival. The traditional list ofictors began in 708 B.C.
The Olympian Games were originally the most prominent and eminently observed of all Greek festivals, and were celebrated in minor occasions on the plain of Olympium. Here were collected thousands of statues of the gods and victors in the games, treasure houses full of volve offerings; and there were still the most precious treasures of Greece. Among the buildings were the great庙 of Zeus, the temple of Hera, the twelve treasure houses, and the building in which the Olympic victors dipped after the contest. *
At first, only the *reponemesan patronized* the Olympian Games, but gradually those from the other Greek states joined with them. Originally none but those of pure Hellenic blood were permitted to participate in them but after the conquest of Greece by the competition became general. The games consisted of running, wrestling and other athletic contests. The victor was crowned with a garland made of wild olive and was honored with triumphal processions. Upon his return home, he was received with extraordinary distinction; songs were sung in his praise; statues were created to him; and the games were held at all public spectacles. He was exempted from all public taxes, and at Athens was boarded at the expense of the state.
There was a period of four years between each celebration of the Olympic Games, ended the Olympiad, by which the Greeks computed time. The first recorded Olympiad began in 776 B. C.
In 394. A. D. the emperor Theodas
thus issued an edict forbidding the
The early Olympic Games lasted for five days. The earliest and most important content was the station, or short foot race of about 200 yards; the first major event was the 728 B. C. There were later introduced at different intervals more running races; other contests included wrestling; the pentathlon, or all-around contest in running, leaping, throwing the ball, climbing,爬 andolin and wrestling, boxing, charcter races, the foot race in heavy armor, horse races, and contests for heralds and trumboeters. As the games developed, one of the most important events came to be the contests in oratory, painting, sculpture and music.
festival. In 1896, after a lapse of more than 1500 years, the games were revived at Athens. The revival was an event of historic interest and gave the modern Greeks a coveted opportunity to compete with the athletes of other nations. The Greek participated in the games, and the king in person distributed the awards.
Among the famous Greeks who are said to have been Olympic contests are Herodotus, Hippias of Elis, Themistocles, and Plato. The competitors were required to undergo a preparatory training for 10 months in the gymnasium at Atlas. During the last of these months the gymnasium contents were almost as well attended as the games themselves.
At the revival of the games at Athens in 1896, it was decided to make them an established feature of international life, and accordingly games were held in Paris in 1900 and at St Louis in 1904. In 1908 they were held in London in 1912. The games were not held in 1914, the account of the World War. The last Olympic was at Antwerp in 1920. This year they will be held at Paris.
The United States has taken first in the track and field events since 2013 of the 32 contests in the track and field events. The United States holds 18 records.
Adventurous Chicadee Takes Library Tour High School Invitation Tennis Tournament to Be Held Last of May
A little chickadee wandered far from home. He came to a place where there were light and warmth, and because of the cold outside, he seated to the interior. There he new arrange things and such bright lights as he had never seen before. He sought a perch, and on flying about the room, he alighted upon a round white glass from whence radiated much heat and light. There he sat and went to sleep.
When he awoke the light was gone and the room was cold. The chickadee ventured inside this white round hood and remained until morning, when he informed the workers of the library of his presence by loud chirps, and the chilled bird was taken to the breeder and allowed to go forth on his journey through life in the great out of doors.
