Corpus Christi Without Light and Water Supply
City Swept By Hurricane Not Yet Recovered—300 Are Done
Are Dead
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 19, 1910.
Corpus Christi Tex. Sept. 19- The most oppressing problem, in the opinion of residents here today, is the reconfiguration of light, gas, and the power service.
(United Press)
The city has been without electric and gas lights ever since Sunday's terrific hurricane and tidal wave. Officials said today it would require three to six months to replace the light and water plants.
An effort will be made immediately to pipe gas into the city from wells at other places, Mayor Boone said today.
The death list as compiled by the Corpus Christi Times stood at 300. It is believed the total will be far in excess of this number.
Laredo, Texas, Sept. 19 — The Rise Grande River was slowly receding today after reaching the highest point ever recorded here. All schools are dismissed because of the flood. The city water plant was out of commission and families who failed to themselves with water are suffering.
The river stood at three-four feet toothy. Towns on both sides of the river are flooded and houses have been washed away. Water rose within one foot of the floor of the international bridge.

Better Abquaintance Of Prof And Student Aim Of All-Varsity Party
Chancellor Strong to Head Receiving Line in Robinson Gym Saturday Night
All the folks in the University—students, faculty, everybody—from the chancellor down are included in the plans of entertainment at the first all-University party of the year in Robinson Gymnasium Saturday. That's the information coming from the committee on entertainment.
"No plans of entertaining anyone have been made" said the chairman of the publicity committee this afternoon. "The crowd will be too large and anyway the purpose of the party is to have every student get better acquainted with every faculty member. Some students go entirely through the year without knowing other than their own instructors' names, don't even know the names of their donors, nor do condition we are stringing to do away with by giving the all-University party."
A special effort is being made this year to get out the members of the faculty. In years gone by, students have attended fairly well with but a sprinkling of faculty members there to welcome them.
The program includes the opportunity of shaking the hand of Chancellor尔 Frank Strong and kidding with it that he will be kidned about the middle of the year. The party is of special interest because it will be the last all-University event for Frank Strong will preside this being his last year at the University as its head.

Chancellor Delivers Message Of Optimism In Opening Convocation
World is Growing Better, Doctor Strong Tells Students In Assembly
Auto Scared Mount Oread
Chancellor Relates Chapters From His Own Life— He Hated School
In a "statement of bare fact and bare opinion," as he expressed it, Chancellor Frank Strong addressed the students of the University this morning at the opening convocation of the year and in addition to welcoming the new students and making predictions for K. U.S. biggest year, told me that in eight years' service here and the reasons for his resignation.
Dr. Strong said the burden of administration for twenty-nine successive years had been "extremely wearing," and that he had had intentions of resigning in 1914 but through the advice of friends had not done so. "My administration of eighteen years is the longest term served by any executive of the University," said the chancellor, "and I feel that I have deserved a rest. When I look back to the time when I took office here and started headquartered schools then still retain their positions, I feel that my service at the University of Kansas has taken a great deal of my life."
A PERSONAL CODE
Doctorong Strong detailed in an interesting fashion his entire career to date, beginning as a boy who had to be driven to school and ending as chancellor of the University of Kansas. He told of working his way through Yale by singing in chairs and concerts, of earning an "honest living" by concert work while practising law in Kansas City. When he first graduated as a young lawyer, of the time spent as a high school superintendent, and finally his summons to Kansas from the University of Oregon.
"Since assuming my duties here, I have endeavored to live up to a code of honor which I believe all mn in my position should take upon themselves," the chancellor. "According to these requirements, and administrator must be square, he must be democratic, he must have no friends outside him, and his duties—above all he must be free from prejudice and from interference, and must endeavor to maintain his school as independent as he.
HASTE CAUSE OF MISTAKES
"I believe most of my mistakes have been made because I acted in haste. Giving time a chance is a wonderful thing. The head of a University should not do anything hastily, he should wait until matters may be viewed dispassionately and without the prejudice of environment."
"The death of our two children within ten days of each other, while I was superintendent of schools at Lincoln, Nebr., was such a blow that I was unable to recover from it for four years," said Doctor Strong in explaining the reasons for his resignation. "I carried on my duties and I did at that time, but unless I am relieved of this wearing responsibility 't is ant to cost me dearly."
TREVILLE TO MRS. STROUD
Chancellor Strong concluded with a review of the importance increase in students, in instructors since he became its head, detailers, in equipment, in grounds, and in general efficiency. He paid a tribute to the faculty and students for their part in building up the school. To Mrs. Strong he also gave credit for being of the greatest assistance management him, from time when the family's prospects were darkest.
A chorus from the School of Fine Arts, a responsive reading and prayer were the other parts of the program. The new cheerleader and staff led the students in the first Rock Chalk of the year.
HE HATED SCHOOL
Chancellor Strong's address was full of vigor and optimism. He introduced his personal narrative, when he told of himself as a boy who hated to go to school so bully that he had to be punished. He went out of school and put in his father's office because his mother was worn out with the task of trying to make him go to school. After three years of office work Frank Strong awoke to the fact that the boys of his age who had trained in school were outstripping him.
