" said Doctor Strong, "I am hoping to be rid of administrative work for ever. I will probably not out service as an administrator I feel that I never want to undergo the strain of it again and that such years of funlessness as remain to me may be fulfilled by my profession in which I was trained."
"Before I talked with the board about resigning the chancellorship and the possibility of my teaching, in the School of law I consulted Dean Green who was kind enough to approve the plan and to suggest that when the change came I take over his position and with certain other work. This generous suggestion I gladly accepted and passed on to the Board of Administration which it also approved as evidence by their action electing me to a professorship in the School of Law. I am very proud of this evidence of confidence on the part of the Board of Education to enter again in a way the legal profession, and especially I am very happy that I may still have an honorable part in the institution to which have given the best years of my life."

Wilson Wants Results From Industrial Meet
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 20, 1919.
Washington, Oct. 28 — President Wilson will not permit the national industrial conference to break up in a disagreement. This was learned on high authority at the White House to highlight the importance of conference the President will name substitutes or cause them to be named it was made clear. Even should an entire group walk out the conference it would make an effort to have它 replace.

SENATE IS DISLIKED,
SAYS Y.W.C.A. SPEAKER
Students Want to Meet Faculty Socially as Well as In Classroom
Hoping to create a friendlier feeling between students and faculty, members of the Social Service Committee of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet entertained women members of the day after afternoon at Westminster Hall.
Grace Gaskill, chairman of the committee, in speaking for the students said:
"We want the women of the faculty to feel that the students want to know them better. We want to meet them socially as well as in the classroom. If the women instructors, individually, would open their rooms or their homes to women students, we believe they would be more. We believe a feeling of friendship and common interest would be established between faculty and students.
"The students object to the Senate as a whole, but taken individually the members of the Senate are splendid. We want to know individual members of the Senate and faculty better."
Miss Elizabeth Maguire, assistant professor in home economics, spoke in behalf of women students. "There is little, if any, real interest shown in students outside the classroom. If we could give a little time to their interests outside of routine duties and such of this difference in some cases antagonism between faculty and students would vanish." One of the instructors present at the meeting said that women members of the faculty had tried for several years to entertain the students. Tens were given each month and occasionally an instructor would entertain a few students at her home because many of the students attended and many students who did attend were forced to do so by organizations of which they were members.
"It is six in one and half a dozen in the other," said Miss Meguiar. The Social Service Committee sent out fifty invitations to faculty members for this entertainment this afternoon and only ten came."
Miss Gaaskill urged the idea on less formality in entertaining the students. "If the instructor would invite several students in for a Sunday afternoon, I believe they would all be there."
The following women are working with Miss Gaskill on the Social Service Committee: Ruth Carver, Ruth Grieber, Joanne Meginthan, Marcia Wendell, Kara Beutett, Kexa Benet, Marie Russell, Faye Orlup Lockey Hackman and Jennie Dunn.
Washington, Oct. 20. "The President's digestive disturbance has subsided almost completely" said a state senator at 11:25 o'clock this morning.
