Pharmacy and Pre-medic Courses Led to Full Courses for M.D.'s
How Medical School Came to University
In 1885, by action of the legislature, the School of Pharmacy was created as one of the departments of the University of Kansas. L. E Sayre was chosen to act as the head of the school by the Board of Regents. He came here from a Philadelphia medical school, and was very much interested in the establishing of such a department in this university.
When Professor Sayre arrived on Mount Oread, he found that chemistry and other subjects relating to a pre-medic course were already being given, and there was a small exhibit of medicinal chemicals and crude drugs. Professor Bailey and his predecessor Professor Patrick had already tried to start a premedical course, or at least to keep alive the nucleus of succession. Professor Sayre in physiological chemistry and material medica, and a 2-year course was offered to pre-medics, for which they received one year's credit in the medical schools in the East.
Little by little the work progressed and expanded into a fuller medical course, until at last on the advice of the medical profession and institutions of the state, a full 4-years' course was established, and the School of Medicine of the University of Kansas was announced.
Thoughout the entire growth of such a department, Governor Robinson was intensely interested in the school, and expressed his desire to the school. Unfortunately Doctor leave part of his estate to Robinson died several years before the real school was established, and left no definite provision in his will for the school. His intimate friends felt assured that when the appropriation of his bequest should be made it would go in the direction of what seemed to be his expressed wish during his life, and the Medical School will probably soon receive some benefit from the estate to erect a suitable medical building.
On the way to Paris, the President's special train stopped at the little town of Plouaret for dinner. The 5:30 out of Brest opened the President's special at that point, and for the rest of the journey took all the applause meant for the presidential party.
A Y. M. C. A. man of the name of Little, who used to be a newspaper man before he broke out the Red Triangle, looks not a little like the President. As luck would have it, he sat next the window of one of the compartments, with his H hat off. And for miles and miles he was hailed with "Vives" and "O'orays!" until, overcome, he sought refuge in the aisle—Stars and Stripes.
Returning Yanks Bit By "Chevronitis" Germs
"Chevronitis' 'is the new disease as a result of the war. It is a malady peculiar to doughboys, and is not unlike smallpox in that it causes the victim to break out in violent eruptions.
Bad attacks are shown by the number of chevrons and the directions in which they point. The most ungravated cases have chevrons everywhere, on the right shoulder and in the middle of the left elbow, and some stripes can even be found on the knee and right hip.
To clear up any misunderstanding on the part of the doughbys who wear the doughbys weaver immediately got them it is suggested that these meanings be used for various decorations:
A chevroon on the right shoulder signifies that the wearer has not any cooties, but has survived an awful battle with them in France.
A chevron on the left shoulder signifies that whenever a pretty American Red Cross nurse arrived in France doughboy wearer immediately got in the way of a German machine gun bullet.
Between the shoulder and the elbow on the right arm a chevron signifies that the wearer has an uncle in the army. On the left elbow it signifies that the wearer has a girl in France. Worn on the breast between the third and fifth rib, it indicates that the girl he left behind him didn't spend any time waiting for him to come back.
He who possesses a Thrift stamp is entitled to wear a chevron on the right hip. If he bought a Liberty Bond it is an inch higher.
A chevron on the right leg, close to the knee, signifies that the wearer didn't like baked-beans and was brave enough to tell the cook about the stripe is worn an inch lower it indicates that he emerged victorious.
A chevron on the left hip means that the man wearing it has been mentioned by the inspector-general. All doughbys know what an honor that is, because the inspector-general speaks only once, but fluently, and plainly and everyone else knows just what he is talking about.
LePort Spangler Returns
From Overseas Service
LePort Spangler, B.S.17, is visiting friends on the Hill today. He reached Newport News, January 6, and came here from his home in Lecompton. Mr. Spangler was wounded by machine gun fire during the battle of the Argonne and spent four months in a hospital.
Mr. Spangler was called into service in August, 1917 and spent eight months across seas with the 35th division. After the signing of the armistice, those in hospitals were invalided home. Mr. Spangler was sent first to Fort Riley and then to Camp Funston, where he was discharged.
Mr. Spangler was with Company M on the Mexican border during the summer and fall of 1916. When he received his call to service he was employed by the Western Electric Company.
HomeEconomicsatK.U.
Course in 'Applied'Gym
A woman working in the deartment of home economies in the basement of Fraser Hall walked 21-2 miles in cooking, serving and washing the dishes for one meal!
Starling as this report seems to outsiders, women in the department take it casually.
"I knew it," said one woman student. "I've cooked in that lace." Instructors in the deartment nodded wearily when they read the students' report of expenditure in money and footwork. "Most universities," said one instructor, "have a special building for home economics and try to make the course attractive to the women students, for in all probability, this will be their life profession, and it is no small profession.
"We have arranged the laboratories as well as possible considering the facilities we have to work with. But it is more than discouraging to the students to work in the basement of the oldest building on the Hill, where they have to walk 2-1.2 miles in preparing a simple meal, one costing only 14.8 cents for each person served. We need new quarters, where laboratories, lecture rooms and store rooms can be so arranged that a minimum of hard physical effort would be extended in the practice work of the course. Why not encourage women to study home economics?"
Wattles Publishes Poems
Written at Funston
Willard Wattles, instructor in rhetoric in the School of Engineering, has published a booklet of poems, which were written while he served as a private in the United States Army. This work is entitled *Motivation Tracks* and is dedicated to Major-General Leonard A. Wood.
The proceeds of the sale of this booklet will be devoted to the establishment of a Kansas Poetry Prize, competition for which will be open to all native Kansans.
Give Jewish Fund Pledges
At Registrar's Office
Contributions to the Jewish-Armenian relief fund may be left with Registrar George O. Foster, at the University, according to arrangements made today by H. S. Martin, chairman of the Douglas County relief committee.
"Many University eleople have telephoned me, asking how their contribution should be sent in," said Mr. Martin, "and hence we have arranged with Mr. Foster to handle this for us, and we have authorized him to issue receipts in the name of the county committee."
The drive has been on in Douglas County for more than two weeks, and between $600 and $7000 has been raised toward the county's quota of $10,000.

MAGIC
The STANDARD ELECTRIC STOVE is especially nice for people who have irregular meal hours. The dinner is ut into the cooker, and the heat is brought up to the maximum temperature, then turned down to the low temperature which is equal to a 40 watt lamp, and left to cook. Bread, biscuits, turleys, cakes, anything you like can be repaired in this cooker.
Is the only word to use. Now isn't it just like magic to be able to go to Club or down town and come home as late as you please and find the dinner all beautifully cooked and waiting to be served. It certainly is a most delightful feeling as it leaves one free from lots of household worries.
The stove is especially fine because no special wiring is required, and it can be attached to any ordinary lamp socket. Call and see this wonderful stove at the

"Other committee will be appointed in the class should the necessity arise," said Harley Scott. "It has been suggested that an Outing Committee should be appointed when spring activities begin, and if the class wants one, it shall be created.
Also a committee known as the Jay-hawker Committee will be appointed at a later date with Henry Oelschläger as the probable chairman.

There are 1116 undergraduates enrolled in Princeton University up to the present time, representing an increase of 272, or practically 20 per cent over last year's enrolment of 844. Princeton is now only 309 behind its pre-war average of 1435. The greatest gain this year is in the freshman clas, the registration of which rises from 335 last year to 450 this year, making it the largest freshman class Princeton has ever had, while the senior class shows an increase of about 90 per cent. This class last year lost 256 of its members, only eighty-one remaining, most of whom entered some branch of the service. At the present time 1919 has 158 members, the junior class has enrolled 199 as against 155 last year and 287 the year before, while 1921 shows the smallest increase of any class with an enrolment of 272, only 34 more than last year.
