THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
MAY PLAY LACROSSE
Naismith Urges Game As Solution of Sport Problem Here
THE DEAN LIKES THE IDEA
May Become a Summer Session Special
The establishment of some new sport, such as Lacrosse, at the University as the best solution of the sport problem for Summer Session students was vigorously urged by Dr. James Naismith, professor of physical education, when interviewed yesterday morning by a Kansan reporter regarding entertainment for summer students.
"We need more sport pep during the summer session," said Dr. Naismith. "Of course, the majority of the summer students are here to study, and they do study, too; but I believe they should not make the summer's work too one-sided. A little time spent each day in some good game will make them more ambitious. And most of the summer students are teachers and owe it to their school to take back with them views of entertainment and sport as much as ideas on the supervision of the school.
"I don't see why there shouldn't be as much enthusiasm over some sport in the summer as there is over football in the winter," Dr. Naismith continued. "If the summer enrollment was lower, we would have some sort of trophy might be offered for the good work done by the players."
LACROSSE—YOU BET IT'S FINE "Do I play the game? Do I?" Doctor Naismith said when asked if he played Lacrosse. "I grew up in Canada where Lacrosse is the national game. I have played many an hour, and it's fine—a splendid summer sport. It is the best sort of exercise and there is a great deal of science to it too; but the pleasure derived will keep you engaged the player in high fort. I am sure the students will like the game, and I will do all I can to make it interesting to them from the start."
The crosses and all other equipment for the game are stored away in the gymnasium. The game can be played on any of the tennis courts, or if they are in use, a court or two can be laid out at McCook field.
MAYBE THIS IS THE REASON YOU MISSED THAT LETTER
DEAN KELLY SANCTIONS IT
"Of course, that is the game to establish at the Summer Session," said Dean F. J. Kelly yesterday morning with much enthusiasm. "I believe it will take well with the students, and besides Lacrosse will develop every aspect of the game clear the mind for some wholesome sports, the idea is splendid. I hope it can be established right away, and that every student takes interest in the sport. It would be a fine thing if the game would become a permanent sport feature of the Summer Session."
Behold, how shall a Summer Session student get mail promptly, when it is sent to him in care of the Dean's unless he has reported his address?
And again, how shall he be listed correctly in the Summer Session Directory, to be published in the Kansan unless he has placed on the cards Dean's office the information that he could not give when he enrolled?
For those two and other good reasons special request is made that each student who left an incomplete record as to his address and telephone number supply the missing information at once.

Carl S. Newman, c '10, will be superintendent of schools at Dighton next year. He held this position before he came to the University and says that the increased salary he was offered there was too tempting for him to come back next year but will continue his work by correspondence.

MEMORIAL FOR ROBINSON
PROPOSED BY CLASS '8'
A movement was started at the reunion of the class of 1886 of the University of Kansas toward placing a memorial tablet in some appropriate place for Prof. David H. Robinson. Professor Robinson was one of the teachers of the University and was the teacher of Latin here from 1866 to 1895.
The proposed tablet is similar to that placed for Professor Canfield in Room 110 of Fraser Hall. Others who have been honored in like manner are Dean Marvin and Chancellor Snow, the former with a bronze bust in Marvin Hall and the latter with a portrait in the Spooner Library.
PLAY TWILIGHT BALL
Summer Session Team May Enter Lawrence League—Meet This Noon
A baseball team of Summer Session students will constitute the sixth nine, in the Lawrence City Twilight League providing enough material turns out at the meeting in the Gymnasium today at 12:10 o'clock was the statement made by Dr. James Naismith this morning.
The more-daylight plan has already suggested to the baseball players of Lawrence the feasibility of a twilight league. Five teams are now being organized, and it is hoped that the first game can be played the last of this week. Dr. Naismith will have a representative at the city meeting tonight in order to arrange for the next game, which will be organized after the meeting today and games will be scheduled as soon as possible.
Dr. Naismith is sure that plenty of material can be found among the students, and urges everyone interested in baseball to see him at once.
"I am in favor of the twilight baseball league," said Dean F. J. Kelly yesterday morning. "If the city men adopt the go-to-work-early plan in their business concerns, there ought to be a great deal of time for evening games. Personally, I think the students should take advantage of the summer evenings by engaging in athletic activities."

Delivers Commencement Address at Haskell
The commencement exercises of the Haskell Institute from which thirty-six Indian students received their diplomas Thursday, June 8, was presided over by Chancellor Frank Strong. His subject was "Some Questions that Must Face." He plowed for education and social economic justice.
"The present age is one of specialization and centralization," he said. "This is not the only great age of the world as is proven by ancient ruins as those at Kut. The present age differs from the other epochs of the world history in that this is an age of general education.
"Those whom we educate are obliged to the state and community," said Doctor Strong. "If they recognize this they will build up a sound community life which leads to a universal social and economic justice. True preparedness has to do with other things than military and naval resources. They should be world wide and not national.
"Patriotism is an ever widening idea and some day must take in the whole world," continued Dr. Strong. "Sound community life, social and economic justice as a price of general education leads to truc preparedness and resistance." The current government on force has been looked on as the world's hope. But we must have a world founded on something else than force."
Chancellor to Colorado
Chancellor Frank Strong will go to Goeze Park, Colorado the first of July, when he will join with his family in the mountains.
