Call of Money Sounds Louder To Geologists Than Scholastic Honor
"We simply can't keep them here," is the lament of Prof. Erasmus H. Haworth on the scant demand for graduate work in the department of geology. "The demand for geologists is so great it is difficult to keep students here to finish undergraduate work.
Big Salaries for Young Specialists take All His Graduates, Prof. Haworth Complains
"The high wages paid to geologists upon completion of the regular college work accounts for the fact that there are no students doing graduate work in the department. Students recently graduated from the department are drawing monthly salaries of $250 and expenses, and some even as high as $6,000 a year, and they do not realize the need of another year of study.
"There has been some excellent graduate work done in the department of geology, before the call for geologists became so urgent, as it now is. A number of years ago, a student received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the department here, one of the few of these degrees to be granted from the University."
Graduate Magazine Goes To 2,600 K. U. Alumni
Purpose of Publication is to Keep Up Interest in University
When the first number of the Graduate Magazine was published in 1902, the magazine had for its aim, "to keep the alumni and former students in close connection with the University and with each other."
Now in its seventeenth year, this University publication is striving toward the same end. Each month during the school year it carries University news to 2,600 people who wish to keep in touch with the school which they attended. This number composes about one third of the entire number of graduates from the University of Kansas.
Contributions from the alumni and articles written by graduates which have first been published elsewhere, are printed in the magazine. Space is given to all worthy movements started in the University and the magazine keeps the people who are no longer in school informed as to the progress and reforms which are made. Prizes for articles are offered to under-graduates.
K.U. Graduate Student
Is Head of Ceylon School
Lulu Bookwalter, a graduate student in the School of Education, will resume her position as principal of Udivil Girl's School, in northern Ceylon, upon completion of her work in the University.
"Uduvil School is the oldest girl's boarding school in Asia," said Miss Bookwalter. "It was established 94 years ago."
“There are three missions in Tamil, two English and one American. Uduvu maintains two schools, one vernacular and one English. When science was added to the school curriculum a few years ago, we were unable to find a native qualified to teach it, except a young unmarried man, which is common in the country of the country. It was finally decided that he could conduct the work providing a matron was present in the laboratory to charmer-
"I wish that the students here might manifest a more cosmopolitan interest. I am anxious to have several girls from the University go back to Ceylon with me for a three year term. I am very much interested in Christianize as well as to educate, and there is a great work to be done there."
Pharmacy Includes Many Things
Pharmacy Includes Many Things Problems in pharmacy research work now being studied in the University, as outlined by Dean D. E. Saye, relate to food accessories such as tea, tea, spices and medicinal preparations used in preparation of tooth paste and tooth washes. The pharmacist is also interested in the development of medicinal plants in agricultural chemistry. Radio-echemistry finds its pharmaceutical application in the use of ultra-violet rays for the sterilization of water and various solutions.

Primer On Grad School Explains Why And Which An' Everything
Purposes of the Graduate School and:
To enable students to specialize for vocational purposes.
To enable students to learn how to carry on scientific investigation.
To prepare students for teaching special subjects in high schools, colleges and universities.
To prepare for scientific research in laboratories of manufactures and bureaus of investigation.
To advance the cause of higher learning.
Work preparatory for the master's degree involves at least one year of graduate work in residence. This work is done in not more than three departments, one of which shall constitute a major in which at least a second year of graduate work is required. Most students do almost all their year's work in one department.
The Graduate School of the University of Kansas was organized in 1896-7. Students having received the bachelor's degree from various schools of the University or from other approved universities and colleges may enter the Graduate School. The Degrees Granted: Master of Arts, Philosophy Civil Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Mining Engineer, Chemical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Master of Science in Education, Master of Music.
A thesis is required to obtain a masters' degree. There is one exception. Teachers of mature years take graduate work for the specific purpose of improving the quality of their teaching in a given subject may receive the master's degree without a thesis, provided the head of the department in which they do their major work and the dean of the graduate school considers it more important for them to spend their entire time in class work rather than in scientific research.
Graduate work, to a limited amount, may be accepted from other educational institutions which have established graduate schools. The committee of the Graduate School acts on separate case according to its merits.
The Graduate School offers ten university fellowships of $300 each. These fellowships are open to competition by graduates of any university or college of good standing in the United States.
For Service and Satisfaction
The University offers ten fellowships to graduates of Kansas colleges. This is to encourage higher learning in the state. Each of the ten colleges chooses the most available student of high grade for this purpose.
All of the laboratories in the University are well equipped for supplying needs of students working for master's degree and some of them are well equipped for preparation for the Doctor's Degrees.
The highest enrollment in the Graduate School in any year was two hundred fifty-four (254). The war interfered seriously with the Graduate School because the government took all of the advanced students for scientific purposes. At present there are 110 enrolled in the Graduate School. Last summer there were 139. Graduate work in the summer session is increasing rapidly.
The grading system in the Graduate School is, "Satisfactory, Incomplete or Failure." This system is adopted because of the difficulty of measuring mathematically the question of graduate education by the system of credit. However, in spite of this rule the majority of teachers are reporting graduate work on the system used by under-graduate work, A, B, C, D, etc. In the Graduate School, as in all of the other schools, grading is not standardized and is in some confusion at present.

Eleven Former Soldiers are Graduate Students
Enrollment in School is 110 Now Was 35 in Fall of Year
The army and the armistice together have increased the enrollment of the Graduate School from 35 in the fall to 110 at present. Eleven returned soldiers are enrolled, and other students have come back to finish their advanced work since the pressure of war activities released them. Men from the service are, J. B. Mumford, A. W. Fitzgerald, Sperry, W. A. Fite, J. B. Groh, W. E. Hoffman, Ralph Auchard, Fred Lutz, Roland J. Clark, Henry L. Fackler, Lloyd M. Collins.

Enrollment in the summer session 1918 wi 129, making a total enrollment for the year of 229. "Returned soldiers are especially urged to do specialized graduate work," said Dean F. W. Blackmar.
Little Animals Teach in 10-acre Classroom
Charles Sperry, a student who is doing graduate work in the department of zoology for a master's degree, is a returned soldier with a wound stripe and a lot of valuable experience. He fought in the Argonne and was wounded just three days before the armistice was signed. He was sent back to this country in January, and began immediately on his thesis.
Just southwest of town Mr. Sperry has a 10-acre tract on which he is making his experiments and observations, field mice, shrews, woodchucks, moles, skunks, gophers, ground squirrels, rabbits, and other mammals of this section, noting their habitss, range and various characteristics. Besides mammals, Mr. Sperry has done considerable work with birds.
He expects to make ornithology, mammology and taxidermy his life work. Mr. Sperry was graduated from the University in 1916, majoring in entomology.
