Engineering School Will Publish Thesis By Late J. D. Garver
Dean Walker Praises Work of Former Instructor Who Died in Naval Service
One of the best theses in the School of Engineering on "Comparison of Wet and Dry Grinding in the Cement Industry with Corresponding Power Analysis and Distribution," written by the late Prof. John D. Garver of the engineering faculty is being rearranged by Dean P. F. Walker and will soon appear in pamphlet form to be used as reference.
"Professor Garver's thesis on this subject is one of the best I have seen" said Dean Walker. "A complete story, illustrated by many pictures is given in his work. The material for the thesis was gathered several years ago by Professor Garver in the cement works at Iola.
"The thesis is finished but Professor Garver never had the opportunity to get his material in shape for pamphlet form."
Professor Garver was graduated from the school of engineering in the class of 1910. Later he became a member of the faculty. He entered the naval service and held a commission of senior lieutenant in that branch. His death from influenza, followed by pneumonia, occurred at Hoboken, February 12, 1919, while he was in naval service.
Another interesting thesis in the School of Engineering library is on "The Relation between the Tidal Influence of the Moon on the Periodical Flow of an Oil Well," by J. E. Stillwell,e'14.
"The graduate and research work in our school was practically stopped by the war," said Dean Walker. "At present we have only one graduate student in the entire school. He is George Lutz of the class of 1918 and was in the service until the beginning of the third term. Mr. Lutz is doing his special work in induction motor investigation in the electrical laboratories."
A degree of master of science is granted at the University for the completion of one year's graduate work In the School of Engineering. According to Dean Walker, there will not be such a degree conferred upon any student this year. Lutz will not have completed the required amount of research work by the end of the term and will return next fall to get his master's degree.
Although not in direct connection with research work of the University, K. U. is requested by two former graduates on the State Board of Health. They are F. M. Veach and Willard Burton, both sanitary engineers, who are doing continuous research work and are sending out the results of their investigation in pamphlet form throughout the state.
"The School of Engineering does not make a very good appearance in the graduate work this year," said Dean Walker. "But our men will be back in full force next fall and we will come in to our own once more."
Earthquake Recorded on Blake Seismograph
An earthquake was recorded on the seismograph at Blake Hall Wednesday morning, the first wave at 3:30 o'clock, the second, about 3:41 o'clock. The main wave probably occurred about 4:00 o'clock.
The estimated distance of the earthquake is about 6,100 miles. The direction is uncertain as so far various offices have been unable to locate the source. The college at Cleveland, Ohio, believes the source of the quake to have been either in South America or in the Pacific Ocean.
Our grand business undoubtedly is, not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.—Carlyle.
New Oil Fields Create Demand for Geologists
The fact that the Kansas legislature has appropriated $50,000 for a state geological survey is evidence that the field of geology is of great importance in life outside the University. Work in geology has become more extensive since new oil fields are being discovered all over the world. Mexico is developing new oil centers now and oil fields have been found in England. This situation has created a big demand for American university educated petroleum geologists. The work of the petroleum geologist is fixing the location and valuation of oil properties and the sites from $750 to $100 at the beginning to $100 a day. Two K.U. men are now earning $100 a day as petroleum geologists according to Dr. R. C. Moore, state geologist. Another field open to geologists is work on the federal and state geology surveys.
Kansas is more in need of well trained geologists than ever before and the need is equally great in Texas, says Doctor Moore. Besides the experience offered in the book of travel for travel in other countries which discovering of new fields has brought about.

Among the returning soldiers of the 110th Engineers yesterday evening several Kansas athletes who have made athletic history in Missouri Valley are among the most distinguished were "Tony" James and Leon McCarty. James is a former football captain while McCarty is coach of freshman and Varsity baseball here.
A popular visitor at the University today is Carl Rice, former Kansas high jumper who is now practicing at Parsons. Rice was a consistent point winner in track events while in school and has just received an invitation to attend the Allied Track Games in Paris the first of next month. Rice commented that he was still interested in athletics here and would like to see a memorial athletic field and stadium constructed.

Because of scarcity of instructors a graduate course by correspondence is impossible. The students who would take this course would have to have access to a large library and in a great many cases this would be out of the question. The only universities offering a graduate course by correspondence are the University of Colorado and the University of Wisconsin.
There are some correspondence courses listed in this university which carry graduate credit under certain conditions but as a rule there is no correspondence course offered for graduate work.
