H.S. Senior Gets Award
Lloyd J. Wood, a senior at Enterprise High School, will hold a J. B. Ehrsam and Sons Manufacturing Company scholarship of $750 for the 1957-58 year in the School of Engineering and Architecture.
Dr. R. Q. Brewster, professor of chemistry, described the growth of the chemistry department from 1868 to the present day at the Chemistry Club Thursday.
"Kansas boys took to science like ducks to water." Dr. Brewster said. Natural science and the spirit of investigation was a part of them." So the chemistry department grew.
In 1883 a chemistry laboratory, which was later used for journalism, was built at a cost of $12,000. That year Dr. E. H. S. Bailey was elected head of the chemistry department.
Kansans Took To Science Just 'Like Ducks To Water'
A few of Dr. Bailey's books which made up the first chemistry library in Fraser Hall were shown to the club members. These books are still kept in the original walnut bookcase in the chemistry office.
In 1897 Dr. E. S. Franklin, called the best chemistry researcher of KU's early days, encouraged the department to sink $20, half the research fund, into ammonia to be used in the research which later made him famous.
"We tried to get Bill White to study chemistry, but we just
couldn't make a chemist out of him" Dr. Brewster commented.
"We have been wise in our selection of teachers and research men. They have built quite a reputation for Kansas," he said.
Officers elected at the meeting were James H. McMechan, Independence, Mo., junior, president for the second year; Patricia A. Tripodi, St. Louis, Mo., junior, vice president; Dennis L. Sharp, Oakley junior, secretary, and Benton S. Duffett Jr, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, treasurer.
The Confederate Memorial Day, a legal holiday in North and South Carolina, is on May 10.

Gentlemen of the Jury:
They are guilty of MURDER!
Such a practice must be stopped. The cruelty and heartlessness of these murderers must be ended. Untold numbers of the noble family of moths have been killed by their Free Mothproofing and it must cease.
Can you believe it? They have the meanness to moth proof every bit of dry cleaning. To insure our continuing health and happiness we must stop this wanton slaughter. I urge you to help us stop this Lawrence Laundry Service.
