CORNELL FIRE HITS K. U.
Loss in Laboratories at Ithaca Affects Supply of Chemicals
The fire which destroyed Morse Hall, the chemical laboratory at Cornell University, Sunday, will have a direct effect upon the laboratories at the University of Kansas in the opinion that if Ibaca is estimated at $300,000.
Practically the only article of value that was saved from the burning building was $1000 worth of radium. The building is a total wreck and the student body, with the exception of students in the School of Law of whom chemistry is not required, will be able to work without until laboratories are fitted up. Only the law students escape chemistry at Cornell.
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, director of the University laboratories, said, "The loss of the building and supplies at Cornell will be keenly felt at this time when chemicals and equipment are extremely hard to buy. K. U. should further research in the lab. Morrison for it was largely after the model of this building that our Chemistry Building was constructed in 1900."
WHAT IS PREPAREDNESS
When plans for the building here were still in the making, Professor Bailey made a trip to the east to see what the eastern schools had in the way of laboratories. He saw enough at Cornell to recommend Morse Hall and another to attend the course. Professor Bailey also pointed out that, while Cornell will receive a small amount of insurance for its loss, should a similar misfortune befall Kansas, not a tent of insurance would be obtained because of the stand of the state in refusing to insure its own buildings. But the teachers them as the property of corporations which are supposed to be able to stand the loss.

University Professors Differ as to Meaning of Issue Now Before Congress
Wise doctors, often disagree; so do professors at the University of Kansas when it comes to the definition of preparedness. Since Noth Webster failed to see the advent of President Woodrow Wilson and his administrative preparedness campaign, no recourse can be taken by the way of the dictionary. A company of a few of the elected members of the United States allows: a vague word meaning preparedness against war; a useless word when used in the military sense; a word to be left to the military officers, and a word not to be approved of when used in a halfway sense.
"It is the American principle, 'Millions for defense but not a cent for tribute,'" was the hurried statement of Dr. Burdick of the Law School when asked for his definition of preparedness. "I absolutely agree with President Wilson in advocating a large navy," he continued. "People are perfectly unconscious of condition which constitutes it. A state I am a great advocate of peace—but it should be had by armament." Dr. Burdick added that he was thoroughly in favor of Persident Wilson's scheme of military preparedness which he interpreted as preparedness against foreign aggression, which will permit foreign states to have in hand policy that can be backed up at any time by an adequate army and navy.
NO DANGER SAYS TEMPLIN
"I believe it perfectly useless to believe because war will be a practical immeasure," said Dean Templin, when quizzed regarding his attitude toward preparedness. He backed his first statement up by adding that he would not use the administration's ability to keep out of the European war. "After the present war foreign powers would be crushed as to render themselves harmless, but," the Dean added, "the country is frightened and ready to stand at the rear of a cannon."
IS FOR PREPAREDNESS
Prof. W. W. Davis, who was made close student of the university, pressing national problems, made the following statement regarding military preparedness. "Personally I believe that the general staff of the regular army are to be trusted to administer wisely and honestly concerning the extent of the increase necessary. I believe that the president should coincide with public opinion and political necessity. In regard to President Wilson's plan for military preparedness," said Professor Davis, "you have nothing definite if his speeches stand for his legislative authority and adequate preparedness and favors strengthening the navy in such a fashion that it will be strong enough to resist that of any power desiring to attack our policies or attempt an invasion of our country. This is the reason that million billion parents indirectly advocate the building of a navy stronger than the navy of any other nation today.
policy. We should continue our plans along more normal lines. As far as settling disputes by the worn out hand of war are concerned, I am a pacifist."
"President Wilson has stated very clearly that he is in favor of a considerable increase in the numbers of the regular army, and that he be given more authority to form citizen reserve army. The staff believes that a reserve army of more than a million should be organized and trained, and also at least 20,000 additional information I have just received from General Leonard Wood, who further stated the Military Committee of the House had taken this resolution under serious consideration and would probably report favorably."
OFF FOR AGGIE GAME
**DYKSTRA GIVES DEFINITION**
"Preparedness means to me," said Prof. C. A. Dykstra, the marshal-in-fact, who was the economic, and all other forces for the purpose of defending ourselves from an enemy or to enforce a national policy or, for some people would say, for the purpose of taking the offensive, think it not enough, or not enough. Professor Dykstra continued, "to jump up and tell all the world, we are preparing for them is not very good
Basketball Five Leaves Tomorrow With Hamilton for Return Game With Aggies
The midday basketball five will leave tomorrow morning with Coach Hamilton for Manhattan where they will play a couple of return games with the Agneta tomorrow which the Agneta returned which went to Missouri last week will take the trip.
It is not with a great deal of hope that Hamilton's men are going to Manhattan. After the two rather disastrous games in Lawrence early in the season there is little chance for the Kansans to win both games from neither team. The other teams will not meet the Valley title to any extent other than to increase the Aggries' hopes in case the Latter should win both battles.
Nebraska took a couple of games from the Aggies last week and by that step they won the Valley title for 1916. The championship of the southern division remains to be decided. Missouri invades Kansas terribly next week and the two games with the Aggies will settle that dispute.
But the Kansan Aggies will find that Cole's aggregation is going at a better pace this week than they were when the Aggies appeared in Robinson gym. Hamilton has tried several combinations since that time and it is interesting to see how he faced Missouri will face the Aggies for the first game tomorrow night. The team has had only one bad night since the new combination has been tried and that was the second night in St. Louis. Every man on the squad seemed to be off that night and the jinx was the ruler. But with the new combination, they should play in, a couple of close games may be looked for.
This will be the last trip of the season for the basketball men. Next week will see the end of the year's work when Missouri comes for a couple of games with the Kansans. The Tigers have the edge on Hammond and could be battles in Columbia look for at least one Kansas victory in Lawrence.
No definite lineup could be announced this early in the week but the same combination will be used. This is Gibbens and Kaunder, forwards; Cole, center; Reber and Nelson, guards.
