MORE GRADUATE WORK
Sociology Expert Shows Importance of Higher Study
NOT LIKE LAMBERTSON
Dean Blackmar Tells of Its Need at University
In a report filed with Governor Arthur Capper this week, Dean Frank W. Blackmar of the Graduate School, makes a strong plea for the upbuilding of the graduate school. The need is clear. He asks to make the University a place of learning as well as a place of study is pointed out.
The report takes a view directly opposite to that expressed by Senator Lambertson, of Fairview, a member of the state economy and efficiency commission named by the last legislature. Senator Lambertson, after visiting K. U., reported that in his speech too much to graduate work, and recommended the discontinuation of the branch.
"We will grant eighty-eight advanced degrees this year," comments Dean Blackmar, "based on research work and higher study. While some students may feel it necessary to go to other institutions for their advanced work, Kansas ought to furnish ample opportunity in her state university for those who wish to come here. If the eighty-eighth students taking had taken them in Chicago it would have cost them $83,000. This money would have been taken out of the state.
"Owing to the fact that the undergraduate work always has taken first place in the university so far as the instruction and expenditure of money is concerned, the graduate school has had little opportunity for independent growth. It has been the policy of the University to do just what graduate work seemed absolutely necessary, and which could be carried on without interference with other schools in the state. In spite of this fact there has been a steadily increasing demand for advanced work in the state of Kansas, and the University has met it as well as it could under the circumstances.
"The graduate work of the University has a tendency to tone up and stimulate all the undergraduate work," says Dean Blackarman. "It makes the University not only a school of instruction, but also a school of learning, and keeps up the standard of scholarship and the progress of science. It advances the cause of science and education. No institution can rightfully claim to be a university, according to our American classification, without carrying on graduate work."
The largest class of persons taking the graduate work at the University is composed of those preparing for teaching in the high schools and colleges. The specialization that is going on in this department has caused a demand for graduate study to prepare for this specialization in instruction.
THEY THANK YOU WHEN YOU BUY A TICKET New K. C, Line Gets Business.
"Thank you very much." It was the ticket agent of the new K. C. interurban in North Lawrence. And like several hundred others it was the first acquaintance, particularly K. D. Linn and had with the new transportation enterprise.
Recovering with surprise the Mount Oread inhabitant boarded the bright new car standing outside. Surprise Number Two. It was clean. No accumulated dust from California and the Arizona desert. And then exactly on time the car slowly started towards Kansas City.
The above are just a few of the many things that some one thousand University of Kansas students who have patronized the new interurban have remarked about. Although operating only since last Friday, the electric line already has carried over a thousand through passengers to Kansas City in addition to the hundred to intermediate points.
Although making no advance predictions, operating officials of the company hope to have the schedule time of one hour and fifty minutes to the big city cut down at least ten minutes by September. Like the Union Pacific, the interurban is forced to lose a half an hour in completion out of Kansas City, where Seventh Street viaducts also help to cut the running down for the interurban has a cut off built now just west of the City Park in Kansas City, Kas., into Armoudrale, and by using it and the new viaduct, much time can now be saved which was wasted by numerous typus on the Metropolitan tracks in Kansas City.
GREEKS GET NEW HOMES
Phi Psi's and Sig Alphs to Build Real Mansions
At least five K. U. fraternities and sororities will have new homes next September as a result of various real estate deals completed during the last two weeks of school.
Two fraternities, Phi Kappa Psi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon will build, the Phi Pai's planning a $25,000 home on Indiana street just north of the Theta house, while the Sig Alphs will erect a $20,000 house on their lots just west of the campus on the University Heights. Although neither house will be completed by the opening of school in September, both fraternities expect to be in their new quarters by Thanksgiving.
Sigma Phi Sigma, and the Alpha Delta Pi and Mu Phi Epsilon sororities are the other three Greek organizations which will have new homes. The Sigma Phis have purchased the old Phi Psi house at 1140 Louisiana Street, while the Alpha Delta Pis are planning to move to the Grubminder home in the twelve hundred block on Mississippi street. The old Alpha Delta Pi house at 1116 Louisiana street will be occupied by the Mu Phi.
In addition to the above organizations, both the Gamma Phi Betas and Kii Phappases are negotiating for new homes. The latter will probably secure the Hutt residence on Tennessee street.

THOUSAND AT DINNER
Alumni Came to Wednesday's Feed and Paid—First Time in History
MORE THAN LAST YEAR
The Young Women Attending Summer School Should Make an Early Acc
Graduates Showed More Pep Than in Former Years
Nearly one thousand alumni showed their pep and enthusiasm for their Alma Mater by turning out Wednesday afternoon to the first "pay" commencement dinner, held in Robinson Gymnasium. While forced to pay the sum of four bits for the food because of the ruinage of the state graduates was at least two hundred greater than in former years when the dinner was free and paid for out of the senior diploma fee.
University, state, and national affairs were all given their share of attention by the speakers. Chancellor Strong who presided, told the alumni of the successful year the University has had during 1915-16 and the 2,599 students enrolled with 219 faculty members. The income of $875,000 from all sources compared to $2,500,000 which the University of California will have next year was cited to show the miserable support given to the University under the present Cheap John legislative policy, and of the desperate need for new buildings.
C. Albert Randolph, senior class president, spoke of the 1916 graduates and commented upon the fact that out of the 425 wh oceived diplomas yesterday, at least 125 expect to become high school teachers.
C. A. Rutledge, retiring president of the alumni association, commented on the authorization given the directors of the association to engage a field secretary to organize the loyal alumni clubs. Dr. Rutledge asked that every assistance be given the traveling secretary when he is appointed. The alumii should make every effort he declared to be acquainted with other K. U. alumni in their neighborhood, be on the lookout for prospect students for the University, and cheer up those persons hay-

Stuart O. Henry, A. B., '81, told of his life while a K. U. student and how much the cost of luxuries such as street car rides had decreased since his day. The alumni day speaker died in 2009. He had reached a much higher rating in the east in the years he had been there.
