Three Red Cross Flags Granted to University Drive Brings $2,946.13
Full Strength of Women Faculty and Employees Subscribe In Campaign
Team Collected $150 Friday
Men Faculty and Employees and School of Engineering Honored For Their Donations
Exceeding its quota of $2,000 by $464.13, in the Red Cross campaign which ended Saturday, the University was granted three honor flags for subscriptions turned by members of the University. The university also subscribed to their flag with 100 per cent subscribing to the Red Cross fund.
The men of the faculty and employees had 95 per cent of their force who donated. More than 75 per cent of the School of Engineering have given money to the work of the Red Cross.
K. U. TOTAL IS $2,946
The total subscription for the University amounts to $2,946.13, according to figures given out by the committee Monday. Of this amount $1,958.83 has already been paid up. Women of the University have given the men $643.34, and faculty and employees have contributed $1,591.71.
BEAT OUOTA BY $503.71
a team of engineering students under Prof. F. E. Johnson stationed about the campus Friday collected students as they came up to classes.
The Douglas County committee submitted a quota of $1,088 based on the faculty only. Together with the employees K. U. exceeded this amount by $603.71. The University finance committee decided on a quota of $2,000.
TO REPORT DELINQUENTS
A list of the faculty and students who have not given to the minimum set by the Douglas County committee will be compiled and held until the end of the week, June 1, when all names will be turned into the Douglas County executive committee with the statement that a careful personal campaign had been impersonated but afforded them to give. The list will then go to the Council of National Defense for file.
The campaign was gratifying to the committee especially as to the financial contribution of the students.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 28. 1918
Prof. Hood Invents Autograph Attachment Device Has Been Patented and Accepted By the Eastman Kodak Company
A little autographic device for film pack kodaks invented by Prof. George J. Hood, instructor of drawing in the School of Engineering, has been patented and sold to the Eastman Kodak company.
Professor Hood has been working on this device at odd times for several years. It requires no change of the pack or of the kodak. After the exposure the slip is pulled out and the attachment with the inscription written upon it is placed between the two lenses of a light shining through the device, which is partly transparent, makes the autograph in a few seconds.
There are 150 autographic devices with patents pending in the patent office. The Eastman Company has twenty patents on autographic devices but can not use a single one for the film pack kodak.
Bryn Mawr Will Train Women in Welfare Work
Bryn Mawr College will lopen this summer a special term for the training of young women for work as supervisors of welfare conditions in large factories and government industries. Applicants for entrance must have had courses in sociology and economics. A paper on the training will be given at Bryn Mawr and at factories. There is great demand for supervisors of this kind and those taking the course are practically assured of good positions. The term will open about the first of July.
To The University
Chancellor
I desire to call the attention of the faculty and the students to the proclamation of the President of the United States in regard to Memorial Day as a day of prayer. I trust that all those present in Lawrence on that day may, so far as possible, keep the day in the spirit proclaimed by our President.

Again East Discovers West and Westerners And Finds Safe Abode
Prof. From Atlantic Coast Finds Kaw and Admits Liking Kansas and Kansans
(By M. P. W.)
He came from near the Atlantic Ocean. All his life he had been within in smelling distance of the brine at least when an east wind blew. And he became a professor of journalism at the University of Kansas last Feb-
Prof. G. C. Loud rendered himself inaccessible to interviewers on arrival as only experienced newspaperman can. But, as he finishes his first semester and goes back for a summer at an Eastern newsdesk, he feels mellow. He loops up for the Kansai who is now almost a grown bear.
"Yes, I like Kansas," he said, with real reflection—"got to know Kansas before you can appreciate a Kansan. Best American I've seen yet—this Kansan. He is he pioneer stock. Kansan shows what he has done and what he can do. Moreover, he is doing it still."
KANSANS ARE WEATHER-MADE
Then the professor growled about the Kansas weather, said he never expected to find Boston mugginess, Sahara heat, Asiatic typhoons, and Alaskan frigidity on successive days.
He insisted that the Kansan is made by his weather.
"So wary, so expectant, so adjustable to circumstances, so contemplative, so glad, so sad, so given to fighting for his rights, so achieving, so forgiving—all because of the weather."
"And the Kansan is sentimental underneath, too," said Mr. Loud. "I'll gamble on every last one of them writing verse on the quiet once in a while and slipping it away where no one will ever find it. It he is modest and shy. He wants to like people and he wants to be liked. Needhn't worry, he's the most likeable fellow on earth. He can't help it."
The professor hdr a word for K. U.
too, saying he grudged the said:
the facet is hard. The student
the state has done more for them than they can repay
in all their lives. The men are solid
and fine; the women are intelligent
and alert; both are natural and
wholesome. They will do things.
Because for what they are and for what
they will do—Kansas is responsible.
And Kansas is good, all good."
In token of leave, Professor Loud growled again. He was regretful.
"They won't be so hospitable back East. They can't be. They mean well. I'm one of 'em and I mean well. But I'm afraid they'll never equal Kansans for open-hearted, frank man, to man give and take. Why, one Kansas can call another a liar in a friendly, casual sort of way, tell the truth, and cement a lifelong relationship!"

Tendered Resignation Takes Effect July 1—Two Final Official Acts
Eustace Brown Resigns As Women's Adviser; She Will Raise Bees
Had Been Here Four Years
K. U. Women's Dean Was Active in Supervision and in Club Work
Mrs. Eustace H. Brown, adviser of women at the University of Kansas, has resigned from this position and will leave soon for St. Joseph, Mo., where she will go into the bee culture business with her husband. Mr. Brown is already in business at St. Joseph, Mo., having received a certificate of recognition. She has tendered her resignation to the University to become effective, July 1.
Mrs. Brown came to the University here in February, 1914, specifying that she should remain only in the office her success in filling the position.
MAKES TWO LAST PLEAS
Among the last of Mrs. Brown's official acts will be the recommendation to the Committee of Women Student's Interests, of which she is chairman, that they ask the Woman's Pan-Hellenic Association to curtail the time and expense of rushing season next fall, and a recommendation to the University Senate at a meeting Tuesday afternoon that in the future all dances close at 12 o'clock.
"I came here with faith in the young people of the University and I leave with knowledge," said Mrs. Brown, this morning in speaking of her resignation. "I am leaving the university to go into bee culture in the near future near St. Joseph, Mo., as soon as I can find a place for a bee farm."
FEELS QUALIFIED FOR JOB
"I feel entirely qualified to raise bees," said Mrs. Brown, with whimsical humor, "from having been rendered immune to prickly stings by five years of experience with students at K. U. But they can never be young but once."
"The idea of bee culture was brought to my mind by a woman student who came to me to ask advice about taking it up as an occupation. I want very much to become a producer, and I think bee culture will be important for the happiest woman on the hill—but of course I shall miss the students."
SHE CAME HERE IN 1914
Mrs. Brown came to the University of Kansas as adviser in 1914. She was born in Mitchell, Ill., in 1865. She attended the old Central High School in Indianapolis, Mo., the South Carolina Normal College, and the University of Kansas. She was married to Eustace Henry Brown in Kansas City, Mo., in 1887, and came to Olathe in 1894.
been the organization of the Association of Roaming House Landladies for women students, and the State Conference of Deans of Women of Kansas, which has had its third meeting.
She has one son, Marley Roberts Brown, who was graduated from the K. U. School of Law in 1914. Mrs. Brown's mother, Mrs. Jane Marley, had a master's degree from the Academy for Women at Blohmongkol University in Mitchell, Ind. It was one of the first in that part of the state.
MRS. BROWN A BIG ORGANIZER When Mrs. Brown came to the University, she had to resign the Hostesship for the State Department in order to accept the position here. Among her many activities in the last four years, has
She is a member of the Kansas Council of Women to consider new state legislative measures, and from 1908 to 1910, she was president of the Kansas Federation of Women's Clubs. During her administration, the Federation raised a $10,000 scholarship fund with which to send young women to the State University. Mrs. Brown sent the first woman.
She is also a member of the Traveling Libraries Commission and the Board of Directors of the State Conference of Charities and Corrections. She edited a department—"Circle Feminine," while Samuel Seaton was editor of the Olathe Register.
Decoration Day Proclamation
The President of the United States has asked the nation to observe Decoration Day, May 30th, in solemnity and in the spirit of prayer. Let us decorate the graves of our fallen heroes with floral emblems of affection and there pause to reflect that it is due to them we owe the liberty we enjoy, the preservation of our homes, and our freedom; for it is they who laid down their lives that the nation might live.
More than 500 University students and faculty have failed to pay pledges made to the Y. M. C. A. Friendship Fund made last Fall. They promised to pay when they heard of the great need. They listened when the Y. M. secretaries urged them to pay immediately. Pledges wouldn't do any good. It was money that was needed to meet the great need of the prisoners of war and of American canonets. And if money was not forthcoming much avoidable suffering and death would result.
YOU PAY UP
The months for making good the pledges passed and still the money is not paid. The need is more urgent now. And this money must come from the people who stay at home. If they fail in their duty much will be irreparably lost. If the 500 K. U. people who have failed to keep their promise to the army fail to pay, part of the blame for this loss will be their's.
So pay up—before you leave school—to keep your promise to the army and to redeem the honor of the school.
"Sight Seeing Tour" To Be Big Feature of Commencement Days
Let business cease for the day. Crowd our churches in reverence and ask God to direct the boys "on the line" that they may press confidently forward and win for the world a lasting peace—and forever more—freedom.
Let our prayer pledge anew our utmost support to those who today are facing the supreme sacrifice, and that every man, woman, and child be given grace to stand solidly behind the boys who are keeping aloft the banner of freedom across the seas.
An interesting feature of the commencement program this year will be the opportunity offered for a "Sight Seeing Tour" of the University. Many buildings contain exhibits of interest. The Museum of Mammals and Birds is one of the most notable staffs of forty-five family groups of North American mammals in their natural surroundings in panorama form. This exhibit is the most complete and elaborate of anything of the kind in any college in the world. The 2,500 mounted birds form a small part of the vast collection.

K. U. in Her Working Clothes Will Be Open to
GEORGE L. KREECK, Mayor.
These cherished dead are now beyond the reach of our deeds. They died for liberty and for us. They are at rest under the flag they rendered stainless, so let us offer a prayer to God that our souls may enlarge and there awaken a more vigorous deter-ment of evil and good of others.
Visitors
