Here are the Answers to the Questions Run in the Kansan for May 17
for May 17
Mrs. Eustace Brown requests that all students who participated in the Scotch Dance at the Halloween Party and who are still owing for the gingham for their costumes, please call at once at her office and pay the small amount. The greater part of this bill is still unpaid, and it is unfair to expect the merchants to carry the account any longer.
ROOM LISTS FOR NEXT YEAR are being prepared which will be classified so far as possible according to the instructions given to students' ability to pay. When completed the lists may be consulted at the registrar's office, the offices of the Advisor of Women, the X. M. C. A., the School Board and the University Hospital.

Here are the answers to the list
concerning the University.
the questions were for the most part fundamental, and the facts questioned for the most part are landmarks in the history of the University. The following brief sketch will explain what types of questions asked. Get out the Kansan containing the questions and then read them.
The first steps towards establishing an institution of higher learning in the State of Kansas were taken by the Congress of the United States, when on January 29, 1861, the day that Kansas was admitted as a state, sections of land were set aside for the use and support of a State University. In 1863 Lawrence was selected as the site of the University and one year later the state legislature passed an act organizing the University, giving it the name of The University of Kansas. A new university government of the institution was vested in a Board of Regents appointed by the governor.
OLIVER, FIRST CHANCELOR
The Board met in 1865 and decided to open a preparatory department as soon as the citizens of Lawrence would be permitted to purpose. The building was started in the fall of 1866 and the building now known as "North College," the cradle of the University, was built on the summit of a hill by the gifts of individuals and organizations in Lawrence. In July of the same year the first faculty of two men was chosen, and on September 12, 1866, classes in the University convened for the first time. Rev. R. W. Clark was the first professor. He resigned after one year of service, and was succeeded by General John Fraser.
PRASER. THEN MARVIN
FRASSE, THEN MARVIN
General Fraser was appointed in 1874 by the King, His resignation, in 1833 was followed by the election of Dr. Joshua Lippincott, and in 1890 Prof. Francis H. Snow was elected to the position of Chancellor. He served until he signed in 1901, and W. C. Spangler, a graduate of the University and a member of the Board of Regents was made temporary Chancellor. In April, 1902, Dr. Frank Strong was elected to fill the place which he occupies today.
NEW BUILDINGS
In 1872, on account of the steadily increasing enrollment, Fraser Hall was built by the city of Lawrence and the State Legislature on the present main campus. The cost of the building was $140,500; $90,000 of which was appropriated for the citizens of Lawrence, and $50,000 of which was appropriated by the state. The building known as Medical Hall, at present used for laboratories in physiology and by the University Holy Mary Kenyon, was second building on the campus. Snow Hall was the third, being built in 1886.
MANY GIFTS
There are 163.5 acres of land on the campus at Lawrence and 7.5 on the campus of the Medical School at University Buildings at Lawrence, of which were built by private gifts. These include the Oread Training School, Service Building and the University Buildings, which is a part of the University.
The first wing of the proposed Administration Building was started in 1911. When completed, the total cost will be above $500,000. [The building offices and classes of several departments in the College.]

Of course you'll want to go home looking right. Let Schultz fit you.— Adv.
Before You Go Home—
We just want to say a word.
We want first to congratulate the seniors. That's enough. If we talked on it would be to repeat the same old time-worn phrases used for the last century. You have all helped the University while you were helping yourself. Beat it out into the world and kick green dust in the faces of those who are not as well prepared as you. You are expected to lead. Don't fall down when the big call comes.
To the rest of the student body we bid farewell. We'll see you bright and early next fall. We are always on the job and will be here to greet you on the first day of registration in September.
Let Us Talk Some More—
We have no alibis to offer for the mistakes of the Kansan this year. We take pride in the realization of the fact that the paper was better this year than last as it was last year than the one before. It pleases us to know that we are going upward. It should please you. It is your paper. We have been on the wrong side a number of times this year. We acknowledge it. But our position was prompted by no influence. Our judgment was not mature and we see it now. But we again take pleasure in looking back over the past nine months and knowing that we have been in the right more often than in the wrong.
There never was a paper and there probably never will be one that is not wrong part of the time. We have instituted a check system on our news in order to make it more accurate. By looking over the paper of this and other years you would find out that the new system has worked well. We run nothing but perfectly legitimate advertising. Our circulation is high-class. We have printed six special issues this year, sending free copies of the paper out over the state to barbers, ministers, doctors, dentists, lawyers, engineers, legislators, and business men. These papers have, by a conservative estimate, been read by more than five hundred thousand citizens of Kansas. A daily paper of good class is bound to make an impression on the reader. We feel that we have done a good service to the University through these special issues.
We Feel a Bit Puffed Up—
We look with pride on our paper when we compare it with the publications from other schools. We want to thank the students for their part in making the Kansan what it is, for their kindly criticism, their sincere suggestions. And again, may we congratulate you on the year's work and hope to see the majority of you back next fall. It may be that we will have a surprise for you.
