Four of the first University men to subscribe to the Red Cross Drive were from the twenty-six K. U. service men who attended universities in England following the signing of the armistice.
So far fourteen organizations on the Hill have contributed 100 per cent to the Red Cross drive. It has not been determined what the contributions amount to but $2,500 is the amount that is hosed for.
Following is the list of the organi zations that have contributed 100 per cent:
When the student detachment arrived in England the men were met at the docks by Red Cross workers and were landed down with sandwiches, bread and eggs to eat. They were met in London by a committee of Red Cross workers, taken in automobiles to the Red Cross hotel, given a real American "feud" and after being shown to the docks, they were given free freedom of the city.
The Red Cross did not stop at this welcome. Later when the students failed to get their commutation on time and were "stony broke" they would go down to Belgrave Mansion and see the jolly red Red Cross captain. They could borrow any amount of money you have, but we feel that you boys have a mortgage on us and we are only too glad to do anything we can for you."
PROM WORKERS NAMED
And little was left undone. The Red Cross did a great deal in making the four months in London one cone of entertainment for the service men.

UNCLE JIMMY
UNCLE JIMMY KNOWN AND BELOVED BY ALL
"Uncle Jimmy Green," said Prof. M. W. Sterling, "was known to a larger number of students than any other man ever on the Hill. His striking popularity with the students was evident in all his activities. He was always in evidence at rallies, and was always confident of victory for our team.
"He was president of the Athletic Association for many years. At a meeting of the Athletic Committee a number of years ago, someone asked why it was that no student in the School of Law was ever on the delinquent list. Unce Jimmy replied that the students all could pass the examination, and there was no need of a delinquent list so far as his students were concerned.
Dean Green's Kindly Disposition and Interest In All Won Great Popularity
"Judge Green was the first and only professor in the School of Law for many years. Later the faculty was increased and he was made dean. He was an exceedingly friendly man with a kindly disposition at all times."
No Classes in Green Hall Until After the Funeral
On account of Dean Green's death the flag on Fraser Hall was hung at half must today. No sessions are allowed in all rooms. All rooms are closed except the library.
Some students and members of the faculty have expressed the desire that Dean Green's body lie in state in Green Hall. As the date for the funeral has not been set, no action has been taken in regard to this.
Funeral to be Thursday
The funeral of Dean Green will be in Trinity Episcopal Church, Tenth and Vermont streets, Thursday at 2 o'clock.
The Rev. Evan Edwards will conduct the services.
Funeral to be Thursday
Uncle Jimmy
It was not show of learning
That drew all hearts to him.
Whose cordial hand is lifeless,
Whose genial eye is dim;
For though he walked with sages,
He kept the common touch.
Our dear old Uncle Jimmy
Who loved us all so much.
We had surfeit of wise men
Who went in search of stars
Who never learned the wisdom
Hid in his black cigars;
They knew the lamb loved Mary,
Poor things of shove and sham
But never guessed the reason
Was Mary loved the lamb.
So when they lay his body
By those he loved in life
Who went a step before him,
His brother and his wife,
Raise on the mound above him
Within the little glen:
"Like Christ, he was a teacher
Who dared to love his men."

DR. GREEN'S MEMORY HONORED BY FACULTY
Colleagues Pay Tribute to Beloved Dean of School of Law
All University Feels Loss
"Dean James Woods Green was the only teacher left linking us with the early days of the University," said Chancellor Strong. "When he became connected with the faculty in 1878-9 the University was only twelve years old. There were then fourteen thousand students, a number of students in the Law School for that year was eighteen and in all departments of the institution 438."
"Dean Green, therefore, had seen practically the entire life and growth of the University. He was a man of strong friendship and loyalty and put his whole life and soul into the school he founded. He developed an extraordinary affection and loyalty on the part of students, not only those of the university but also other departments of the University, in kindness itself and had a remarkable understanding of the feelings of young people.
"He was a good friend and adviser, and for nearly eighty years I have appreciated most sincerely his friendships. The University has lost one of its most prominent ministers and teachers, and the state one of its most prominent citizens. The University sincerely rejoiced in passing and deeply mourns his loss."
Tributes paid Uncle Jimmy Green by professors in the School of Law are most significant of the place he was a teacher at. He is part of the University of Law, the University and the state.
"More than forty years Dean Green has been the head of the School of Law of this University," said Dr. L. Burdick. "During all that time he has occupied a unique place in the hearts of all who have been connected with the institute. He has been benefited by the University, who has ever been connected with the University. This was largely due to his rare sympathy for all the students and to the youthful spirit that ever seemed to dominate. He was one who never grew old. The ambitions, the enthusiasms, the joys of youth
UNCLE JIMMY IS DEAD
End Came to Dean J. W. Green at 7:45 o'Clock This Morning
"Ucle Jimmy Green, more than forty years the head of the School of Law, and friend of every student of the University, died at his home, at 637 Tennessee Street at 7:45 this morning of a complication of kidney and heart trouble.
Dean Green had been confined to his home a month, and for many days his life had been dispaired of. Late Saturday night he sank into a state of unconsciousness from which he did not rally.
No immediate relatives survive Dean Green.
No arrangements have been made for the funeral, awaiting the arrival of Mrs. Sallie A. Green, a sister-in-law of the deceased, from Cincinnati, Ohio. Mrs. Green is expected in Lawrence tonight or Wednesday morning.
were always a part of his very nature. In his relations with his associates in the faculty he was most considerate and kind.
Prof. R. F. Rice expresses his feeling and devotion for Uncle Jimmy by the following:
"I have been associated with him more than twenty years and during his tenure at Stanford I spoke any word of rudeness, bitterness or jill-will. The University, and particularly the School of Law has lost a great teacher, and I feel sad that he was taken up again upon his like again."
"The University of Kansas has its oldest faculty members in years of service and the School of Law has lost its founder and first dean. But the greatest loss of all is that sustained by the thousands of graduates and students of today and earlier years. We have a distinguished their best friend. To have known him was a privilege and to have been associated with him a rare distinction."
Prof. H. W. Humble said:
"Uncle Jimmy is one of the grandest man I ever have known. The love and esteem which is in the heart of every student for Uncle Jimmy may well be the envy of every person engaged in school teaching. His loss is unfulfilled, one of the School of Law, the University and the State of Kansas."
Dean Blackmar, who was a very close friend of Uncle Jimmy was very much affected when told of his death. "I have known Judge Green for thirty years," he said. "I never made my friends more sympathetic with his friends and associates. He was consistently on the side of anyone whom he thought needed help. No student in trouble, during Judge Green's long period of faithful service in the University, was denied his Great heart went out naturally to his students, who were his friends. For them he worked, and by nature and habit championed their cause in time of trouble. Judge Green was true to his friends, loyal to the Union, and the builder of the School of Law."
Prof. Albert J. Harno speaks of Uncle Jimmy as follows:
"I am grateful that the last time Dean Green was at the University I happened to meet him coming from his office and had the opportunity of helping him down the steps and to the street car" said Dean Olin Tempelman, a professor at the taxi he denounced when he was better and could get home by the street car very well. It is a pleasure to remember that at our last meeting I could show him, even in such an environment, many years of unwavenging kindness. Dean Green was one of those people for whom we feel a natural inclination to be helpful. The reason was his every-ready willingness to be patient in others. I shall carry through all this with an embodiment of unalienable kindness. I can not think of any higher personal tribute I could pay to any man."
W. A. A.Board Election Brings Out Large Vote
Great interest is being taken in the election of W. A. officers today, "After the W. A. A. election had been on for only two hours, more than a month ago," she voted," said Miss Hazel Pruitt of the department of physical education.
James Woods Green, Dean of the School of Law at the University of Kansas more than forty years and the valider adviser of honors of young lawyers in Kansas and Missouri was named United States Deputy County, New York, April 4, 1842.
He was a most ardent follower and supporter of athletes at the University since their start and never until this year had been absent from the opening game or the opening rally of the football season. Dean Green is known to the students and alumni of the University as "Uncle Jimmy."
Dean Green's early education was received in New York State, where he graduated at Phillips Academy, Anlyver, and entered Williams College in 1862. He received the degree of bachelor of arts from this school in 1863, and then in 1891 he was given the degree of Master of Arts at the same institution.
After his graduation from college he read law at Emira, N. Y and was admitted to the bar in 1869. In January of the following year he came to Lawrence and entered the law firm of Thatcher & Banks. He was connected with this firm only a short time and went to Olathe to practice. In 1874 he was elected county attorney of Lawrence and returned to ticket. When his term expired in 1877 he returned to Lawrence and again took up the practice of law.
In 1875 he married Miss May Stevens, daughter of Judge Nelson T. Stevens. Mrs. Green died April 16, 1918. In 1878 he was elected county attorney of Douglas County and also begin his work at the University, where he studied law in 1885 and in that period was an unqualified candidate for the Kansas Supreme Court. While county attorney of Douglas County "Uncle Jimmy" represented the county in the Lawrence bridge case and the Hillman insurance case. This case was carried through the Supreme Court of the United States on two different occasions. The case was not settled until 1903.
In 1905 Green Hall, the home of the School of Law, was named after Dean Green and the anniversary of the dedication has been made an annual home-coming for Kansas lawyers who received their education under Uncle Jimmy. The annual "Uncle Jimmy" banquet is given at this time.
During the last two years Dean Green has been in poor health and has gradually withdrawn from active sports this year, when he had but one class.
Uncle Jimmy always has been a true friend to the students of the Uni university and has been the adviser and teacher of many a student who was in trouble.
