UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
VOLUME XIII.
NOW A CHEM MAGAZINE
"Kansas Chemallurgist" the Latest Periodical Issued at University
A SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATION
Articles by Chemical Engineers Provide Meaty Reading
NOTED MEN CONTRIBUTORS
What may be the starting of a new era in the progress of the Chemical Engineers in the department of chemistry will be the appearance of another magazine called the "Kansas Chemlurgist." It is edited by the students in Chemical Engineering under faculty supervision. Its aim is to create a bond of interest among the alumni and the University and between the kymans and the technologist.
One of the most important features of the magazine is on the inside of the front cover entitled; "Our Special Contributors." This is a list of the men who have written for the Kansas Chemallurgist all of whom are recognized by the university as field fields. They are: Dr. Charles H. Herty of the chemical laboratories at the University of North Carolina, who is now serving a second term as president of the American Chemical Society of the United States Bureau of Mines; Prof. F. H. S. Bailey, director of the chemic laboratory at the University of Kansas, a position which he has held for thirty years; L. S. Bushhell, chief chemist for Armour and Industries of Bardwell, chemist for the Missouri Pacific Railway, with headquarters at Kansas City, Mo.; and Elwood Hen dricks, a retired chemical engineer and manufacturer of New York City
The most important contribution is that entitled: "Industrial Chemistry in Kansas." This will be illustrated by a double page map of the state of Kansas, which will show the location of industrial activities located in the state. "The Chemical Engineer, An Industrial Outlook in the Middle West," by L. S. Bushnell, is the next article of importance. "Recent Progress in Metallurgy by the Worksheet" by an art detailing recent advanced work in this branch of science.
Probably the most interesting feature to the alumni will be the section called "The Migration of the Chemicals," in which is given the location of all the chemists and chemical engineers who have graduated from the University of Kansas, where they are and what they are doing.
"BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVER MOON"
And the 9:00 Union Pacific.
The canoe shot silently out into the muddy stream. A young woman trailed her fingers through the cool waters and hummed a contented
A chorus of hoarse croaking voices from the bank drowned the gentle splashing of the paddles. Hours passed by. From way up the river came a man proching训 chining train; a minute later they were paddling straight up a silvery path of light which widened as the 9 'oclock Union Pacific came nearer. On dear, that训's due at nine o'clock and his train at ten," siered one of the nursry.
They had given Mrs. Brown the slip, for the time being, to study the wonders of the river, when every water column and the water mclone is an inspiration.
The paddles came to a stand and the current carried the canoe back down stream. The chug chug of the engines at back wafted above the bridge, with other night sounds. There in its splender was the big yellow moon far above the old Bowersock mill. As they stepped into the landing a voice was heard: "Oh I heard a voice, always be moaning the Kiw. I can study better for the quizes now."

    STUDENT DAY SPEECH
Ada Dykes, who spoke for the College on Student's Day, made public today the following statement folling the appearance of several letters criticising her speech during the Student's Day program:
To the student body and faculty;
I wish to state that the speech prepared by me on Student's Day was unknown to and not influenced by any person or persons, organization or organizations to which I belong or other-
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 24, 1916.
I regret that the spirit of the speech has not been received as was intended and the burlesque in fun has been taken seriously.

No More Sophomores'
Brutal Pats
Freshmen will not have to wear their caps after May 26. This was the decision made by the newly elected Student Council at its meeting last night.

TOLD BATTLE OF MARNE
Baron Henri de Maulaussene
Spoke at University Club
Last Night
Baron Henri de Maullaussene a adjutant in the French army deliver what was, according to Prof. W. W. Murphy, *the first delivery* delivered in Lawrence this year. The Baron is in this country on leave of absence and is traveling about the country talking in behalf of the country to aid fatherless French children.
De Malaussene has been enlisted in the French Army since 1914 and has taken part in six battles and has been wounded three times.
TOLD OF BATTLE OF MARNE
To give some iden of the magnitude to the methods embodyed in the modern battlefield of the part he played in the battle of Marne in which the French stopped the German advance on Paris in 1914. The line covered over fifty miles and De Malmasse said he was present only at the very end of the war, making possible to witness only a small part of this greatest battle of history.
TOLD FRENCH SENTIMENTS
FREQUENTLY in the course of his speech, he would stand and exclaim with much force that the French were determined to win. That every soldier felt the gravity of losing his home to the German invaders.
The Baron said he could make no guess as to when he thought the war would end but, he prophesied that there would be a great offensive attack made by the Allies in the late summer.
De Malausse carried with him many mementoes of the war, such as a German helmet and the different rifles used in the rifles of the different armies.
In closing the speech the Baron expressed his thanks in behalf of the French Government for the aid and assistance he provided to the fatherless French children. Nineteen have already been adopted. After the speech a voluntary collection was taken and a niece was raised. Another niece has already raised to be used for the fatherless in France.
Last Chance to Get Innoculation at Hospital
FIGHT SUMMER TYPHOID
The University Hospital has barely time to inoculate students against Typhoid before they return home for the summer vacation, and it is especially important that they be inoculated. Statistics show that the majority of Typhoid cases are, contracted during the summer. Drinking water on trains and at summer resorts quite often cause Typhoid infections so much less trouble than the fever and cost the students not a cent. It is the last chance fo- some to get the worth of their two dollar hospital fee. The inoculation is given in three doses from five to seven days aprt, taking from ten to fourteen days for the complete inoculation.
Prof. F, E. Kester, of the department of physics, returned Monday from Cleveland where he went to attend a meeting of the executive committee of Sigma XI. Seven members of the committee were present and had an all day session at the University Club.
SENIORS GIVE TO FUND
Class Money Will Go For Student Loan Fund This
NUMBER 159
Year
MAKES A PRACTICAL GIFT
Insures Use of Every Cent of Memorial In Good Cause
The senior class voted unanimously to give its memorial money to the Student Loan Fund in a class meeting yesterday afternoon at 3:30.
The amount contributed to the Student Loan Fund by the seniors is 290. This year the class collected $158; $27 was collected during their ophomore year and $105, comes from his senior play.
Harold Mack chairman of the memorial committee suggested the Student Loan Fund as the best investment for the present class memorial. Although there were several other ideas suggested to the class officers, Harold Mack recommended various insurance schemes. The splendid work the Student Loan Fund is doing in materially encouraging the best class of students, those who are really desirous of gaining an education, recommended it as the most practical memorial a class could leave. He also recommended that the Loan Fund and the fact that it was originally a memorial fund, before classes began putting up their monuments upon their departure from the University, made this plan seem feasible. Geo. O. Foster, approved this plan very much. It will be the Loan Fund is used in use and there is great need for a larger fund.
By turning the entire amount of their memorial over to this fund all the money will be used for the purpos of the memorial, and will be used, and will grow with the accumulation of interest. It will be where grafters cannot get their commission, and every cent of it will truly serve students in all the years to come.

Seniors Vote "Stuff of Laughter" for Commencement
Play
K. U. TO PAY THE EXPENSES
"The Stuff of Laughter," written by Percy B. Shostac and produce during the week of the May Fete May 13, 15, and 16 will be given as the Commencement play this year This was decided at the meeting of the senior class held in Fraser Hall yesterday afternoon.
Pine Grove North of Chemistry
Building Will be Setting
THREE DISSENTING VOTES
Various members of the faculty, after seeing the play, suggested that "The Stuff of Laughter" be given this year instead of the senior play, "Copperheads," to demonstrate Gumbier, a student in the School of Law. The Faculty Committee in arranging the program for Commencement Week favored the suggestion and presented the matter to the senate at the end of the play; only three voting against it.
The play will be given Monday, June 5, at 8:15 o'clock in the pine grove north of the Chemistry building, known as Marvin Grove. This building is the former one. The natural background lends more finish and the lighting effects will be more spectacular. From former experiences, the electricians have learned that different lighting arrangements can be improved upon, and that they can be installed immediately. The seating facilities will be improved and the street cars can be boarded at a neurer station.
The University is paying all expenses of the production and because of this admission will be eliminated. Tickets will be distributed among the members of the senior class and the students will distribute them as they see fit.
"The Stuff of Laughter" will be repeated without any changes in the cast; the dances will be repeated and Prof. Arthur Carlisle will be asked to speak as before. A number of musicians from Kansas City will play with the orchestra.

The winner of this game again plays the Betas Saturday for the third division title, who in turn fights next week for the Pan-helenic championship with the winner of the Alpha Tau-Sigma Chi game.
Miss Haigh Sends Out Call for Little Glass Containers
HOSPITAL WANTS BOTTLES
"Any rars, any bones, any bottles today?" Especially the bottles, and especially those belonging to the University Hospital, are wanted according to Miss Molly Haight, superintendent of the Hospital.
The students are supposed to help in keeping down the expenses of the Hospital by bringing old medicine bottles back for refilling, but it is such a temptation to stop on the way down the hill and say, "Owl dear, I need some more cough syrup, I need some more cough syrup, I need some more cough syrup, down the hill after that bottle. Please, Miss Hight, just this once!" And Miss Height can't refuse such a plea.
The result of this habit is that over
times the bottles have been used
sizes the first.
The Hospital would greatly appreciate it if the students would return all the empty bottles they find, in their rooms, whether they were originally from the University hospital or not, if they are small bottles about three ounces or less they can be used very well by the Hospital, and will help cut down the expenses of that institution.
Fred E. Dennis, I.L. D., writes that he certainly enjoys reading the University Daily Kansan as it recalls past doings at the old school, which coincide in many ways with the doings while he was a student here.

ALUMNI DINNER TO BE
HELD—FIFTY CENTS FEE
Prof. L. N. Flint talked to the seniors at their meeting yesterday in regard to the Alumi Dinner, and urged that all seniors be present. The Alumi have decided to have the dinner as usual at an one o'clock in Robinson Gymnasium and to charge a fee of fifty cents to cover expenses.
Tickets can be obtained from Professor Flint, Geo. O. Foster, at the registrar's office, or from C. A. Randolph.
MANY TO ATTEND S. S.
Registrar Foster Predicts a Record Enrollment This Season
Summer School will be better attended than ever this summer according to George O. Foster. This theory he attributed to the fact that the ten weeks course has been more thoroughly advertised than usual and amount and tone of correspondence received from prospective students.
Prof. F. J. Kelly, Director of the Summer Session, believes that the lengthening of the time to ten weeks will make a very material increase in student performance, who ordinarily waste their summers, may under the present system graduate in three years. Many graduates are also expected to take advantage of the one-third of a regular semester in obtaining their Master's degree.
The purposes of the summer session are to give instructors in colleges an opportunity of further study in their subjects as pursued at the University; to give superintendent supervision in acquaintancing themselves with recent progress in or to study special problems; to give teachers and supervisors an opportunity to become familiar with the latest and best methods in adding to their academic and professional equipment and to enable them to enter the University to meet the entrance requirements.
The first term will continue from June 8 to July 19, second term of four weeks from July 20, to August 15. The fees will be ten dollars for one week, and everybody every course will be offered that is on the last semester schedule.
PROF. OGDEN TO SPEAK
To Deliver Farewell Address at K. U. Tomorrow Afternoon in Fraser Hall
Prof, Robert Ogden, in his lecture in Fraser all tomorrow at 4:30 o'clock will add his "idea of a University", to the many other ideas of great thinkers, particularly to those of Cardinal Newman.
The lecture is of universal and general interest and is a popular subject with students and faculty. Dean Olin Templin has sent notices to all of the faculty members, announcing the subject, name of the speaker and time of the lecture, hoping that there will be a large audience.
This lecture will be Professor Orgden's farewell to the University of Kansas. He has been connected with the work of Dr. Joseph from the University of Missouri. He was professor of Philosophy and Psychology in the University of Tennessee for some time. He resigned from the university in 2013 to accept a place at Cornell University.
Professor Ogden favors the Thursday afternoon College faculty lectures and thinks they can be made popular at K. U. Several members of the faculty are expressed their willingness to make the new movement a success.
Boyd I, Means, M.E,15, writes that he is resident engineer under Hendri, Kent and Lowy, Co. Kan., HarperCollins and Lee's improvements in Lee's Summits, Mo. These improvements will amount to about $40,000. Mrs. Means, A. B. 25 him bim there and they still enjoy the University Daily Kansan very much.

NO GRADING STANDARD
Experiment Showed Different Instructors Marking Same Paper 1 and 3
BEARS ON SENIOR RULE
Diplomas Depend on Uncertain Judgments of Profs.
MAKES RULE UNPAIR
Two students, who will not allow their names to be used, made an experiment this week to test the relative standards held by instructors in grading papers. Each handed in copies of the tests and one gave a grade of 3 on the paper while the second graded it 1.
HAKES RULE AWARD
The participants excelled and were in fullfillment of the same assignment which had been given by different teachers. The experiment was performed deliberately to test out the standardization in grading following an argument over the meaning of the question, withholds a degree to students who have more than forty hours of 3's.
"This proves that the rule is arbitrary and unfair to the students," said one of the men. "When such a diverse grading is given on identical tests, the question can justly be enforced. It attempts to measure something which is not susceptible to measurement."
"STANDARDIZE GRADES FIRST"
"Obviously when the standards of instructors are so lacking in uniformity to as permit of such fluctuations in grading as in the experiment which roommate and I have just perform instructions to obtain hold degrees from those receiving forty hours of 3's is too arbitrary to be just or even to approximate the conditions.
"It ites to me to that the cart is before the horse. If the educational theories of our faculty demand such an emphasis, I think of 3's rule. I think it is up to them to first standardize their grading so that the rule will treat all alike and not怀兰 hang the hope of a degree on students who do not happen to be placed under."
FOSTER LIKES AWAKENING
George O. Foster this morning expressed frustration. Last last of the class has been wakenen up. He said that the report issued yesterday was simply a "safety first" measure and that a majority of the students threatened by the rule could pull through all right this semester with a little effort. Few are hopelessly swamped with threes and most of the class is expected to get across the Rubicon.
MANY SENTIONS WHIRLED
Long before we began to peer through the window of the Registrar's office early this morning. Through most of the day worried, anxious and feverish persons inquired at regular intervals regarding their quote of threes. Until a late hour some were bothered by phone calls from those who were too nervous to wait until morning.
SENIOR CLASS HOLD MIXER
"If sleeping, wake; if feasting, rise before I tern away."
First Get-together to be Held at Woodland Tomorrow
The senior class will have a bike and picnic at Woodland park Thursday for $10. The junior class only mixer to be held by the class of '16 this year. It is also the last opportunity that the entire class will receive from or an informal mixer before it leaves.
Some of the members of the class have been complaining of the lack of mixers and this is to be an entertainment which will please the most interested. The crowd is set on the Museum steps at 5:30 Thursday evening.
Two Take Exams
There are only two men taking the accounts examinations which began Tuesday, lasting until Thursday. They are then given the degree by the state through the University, are taken to obtain a Certified Public Accountant. Profs. H. A. Mills, A. C. Hodge and Registrar George O. Foster are the University men on the board and the university gives them a board to give the names of those taking the examinations.
