The strain of war and the drain its demands was felt as keenly chaps by the University of Kansas any other co-educational institute in the country.

A instrumental in putting into operation a surgical dressing department. Almost a thousand dressings a week were turned out by the University women.
Earlier in the year, in each of the districts organized by the W. S. G. A., the women made bed soaks and sheets for the Red Cross. These sewing hours were suspended when compulsory exercise was put into force and many women enrolled in Red Cross knitting classes.
With the beginning of the second semester of that year all knitting classes were disbanded to take up surgical dressing work. A contest between classes to see which could enroll the most women was won by the seniors. A salvage committee placed "Hope Boxes" in Robinson gymnasium and Fraser hall. Tinfolf alumni also volunteered did its part in swelling the Red Cross fund French war orphans were adopted by six fraternal organizations and 37 were taken by members of the faculty.
The attitude of the University toward war is shown by the fact that no convencions but war lectures were given during the year 1917-18. The university was active for years of the year were Lieut. Paul Porgard, the effective, dramatic Frenchman, the Honorable Harold Smith of the English Parliament, Henry J. Allen, with his stirring message to Burr Jenkina, of Kansas City.
New courses were offered in wireless telegraphy, war relief, food conservation, war French, gas engines, and military science. Instruction in stenography and typewriting was also offered. "First aid" classes were organized, with an enrolment of 30, the maximum number, and a course required for completion of 20. All students were urged to select work from courses which would give them training for scientific or technical positions.
A spirit of restlessness prevailed the entire University atmosphere throughout the duration of the war, making faculty members and undergraduates alike a little more serious; a little more intolerant, a little more doing something to help win victories; and a lot of rite parties were cut down, formality dropped and extra-crazen exercised in University living.
The man of the University, it can be said to the glory of Kansas, but put down the war machine which won the ultimate victory. The University of Kansas, their Alma Mater, is well justified in the pride she has shown over the years, and brawn, that these men made for the cause of humanity and democracy.
