WHAT'S IN A NAME!
K. U. Buildings Bear Names of Persons Connected With College History
"From our ancestors come our names, from our virtues our honors." The fact that ten of the University buildings were named for persons closely connected with the University shows that the old proverb is true not only of individuals, but also of institutions.
SNOW HALL. 20 YEARS OLD
SNOW HALL, 20 YEARS OLD
Snow Hall, erected by the state in 1886, was the first of the buildings to receive a name. It was called in honor of Prof. Francis Huntington and was founded years of his life in the service of the institution. Eleven years of the time he was chancellor of the University.
Fraser and Blake Halls were given their names a few years later. Fraser was named for and planned by General John Fraser, the first active chancellor of the University. Lucien L. Blake, for many years professor of English, provided the plans for the building which was afterwards named for him.
LIVED IN TENT ON MUSEUM SITE
LIVED IN TENT ON MUSEUM SITE Dyche Museum of Natural History erected by the state was named in honor of Prof. Louis L. Dyche whose devotion to his work in the University helped make it possible for the institution to have one of the best museums in the world. He student in the University Mr. Dyche lived for a time in a tent pitched on the spot where the building now stands.
Spooner Library was erected through the generosity of William B. Spooner, of Boston, a great uncle of Dr. Francis H. Snow. The chancellor's residence was built from the same bequest.
Fowler Shops were given by Mr. George A. Fowler, of Kansas City, Mo., as a memorial of his father. The efforts of Prof. Lucien L. Blake.

WILL STUDY COTTON RAT A BREAKFAST TRAGEDY
Pratt Selected for Summer Camp of Zoo Students
The summer camp of the zoology students will be held in the southeastern counties of the state. The first few weeks will be spent in the study of the cotton rat, a pest that has recently become a problem in Kansas. This rat entered the state about three years ago and since then has spread over an area of about 150 square miles. The rats sent to Victor Householder to study the methods of the rat and to try to determine a means of getting rid of it.
The class from here will be under Professor O'Roke of the department of zoology. During the middle part of the summer they will go to Pratt and study the worm parasites of fish, at the state fishery. They will also make a study of the ground squirrels, gophers, and field mice.
During the latter part of the summer Householder will join the party and the rest of the time will be spent in the study of lizards and snakes.
Mrs. W. C. Dumm of Junction City arrived in Lawrence Friday, called here by the serious illness of her daughter, Marjorie, fa19. Miss Dumm was taken ill with appendicitis; she was so much improved. She will be able to attend classes by the latter part of the week.

BONeless CHICKEN THERE
The play which has proved a great success recently in Kansas City is a takeoff on breakfast food and canned food fads. Chanticleer, the king of the chicken dishes by Fradiah dresses as a car of boneless chicken, Chanticleer's son, Omet, is in love with Outa mealiea, who is attired like a box of Quaker Oats, and who goes insane and bursts. It is all carried out with appropriate songs in the true musical comedy style.
"This is a new venture," said Miss Alice Winston, the head of the local association. "For the past ten years we have raised the money for this scholarship either by dues or at the annual luncheons, but we decided to try and give more than fifty dollars this year and I think we will succeed."
Mrs. Ona Winant Borland, a prominent Kansas City woman, is the author of this comic opera and has consented to let the Association of Collegiate Alumnae borrow the unique costumes for the play.
"Mrs. S, B. Daines has helped wonderfully with directing the cast in their short two weeks of rehearsals," she said, screamingly funny in their parts."

DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT THEIR FACES SLIPPED?
And Did The Enamel Crack?
Coach Hamilton considers the present signature system used with the season athletic tickets sufficient to have a good chance of winning ferring their tickets. At Conell University students are compelled to have their photographs placed upon their season tickets. Hamilton does not know that such a system is necessary here.
"Students under this plan transfer their tickets when they want to by simply transferring their photos to them. You can also have there been fewer tickets taken up this year than before on account of two people using the same ticket. However this is the time of the year when most of the tickets are taken up. Students receive each ticket by the original purchaser has proven satisfactory here."
A parade of classes, red-fire bonfire, and speeches by prominent university men are on the program, June 2, at the University of Michigan. This is the date set for the burning the freshman caps.

Have You Ever Known a Contented Person?
THE KANSAN IS NOT CONTENT WITH ITSELF
If you have, that person was, more than likely, too lazy to exert himself enough to be dissatisfied.
BUT WE ARE TRYING
Members of the Kansan Board realize that the paper is not perfect. Although held in high esteem among editors of college papers all over the United States and prominent journalists of Kansas, we know that there is room for improvement. Several letters from other schools have been received recently complimenting the men and women on the paper for the very satisfactory work of the year.
We know of several ways in which the paper could be improved. For instance, we ought to run more cuts, we ought to have more press news of certain important events in athletic, debate, oratory, etc., etc., abroad. But those things take money. A barber shop advertises that the aim of every man in the shop is to bring the service up to a close approximation of 100 per cent. And we are trying
TO REACH A HIGHER PLANE
We want the University Daily Kansan recognized all over the country as not merely one of the four or five best college dailies—as it is now—but as a college paper in a class by itself. If we had a thousand dollars in the bank right now we would—well, what's the use of talking about it? You know we would spend every cent of it to make the Kansan next year the pilot of all college papers in this country.
WE HAVE A LITTLE MONEY
and are going to spend it in that way.
IT IS YOURS, K. U. STUDENTS!
But don't come around to the office to collect. That money is going right back into the paper to make it better. We have a millionaire appetite and a hobo bank account. But next year's paper will be better than ever, just as the one this year is better than that of last.
YOU TAKE PRIDE
in showing the school paper to the folks from home when they come here. You pick the Kansan off the table, hand it to them and say, "See, this is OUR daily paper. Oh yes, it comes on the press five times a week." And that is right. IT IS YOUR PAPER.
AND TO MAKE YOU TAKE MORE PRIDE
in your paper we want you to be ready to respond to the call for subscriptions for next year. We want you to assume a little responsibility. We want to have the Kansan next year enter the room of every student. Remember, we have something to spring pretty soon. We have done the work. All you need to do is to
