VOLUME XIII.
As the result of the application of a College student for the degree of Bachelor of Science, the University of Kansas in the future may grant that degree to students taking their major work in scientific departments, according to the advisement of the special committee of professional counselors who met with the Chancellor Tuesday afternoon to consider the matter.
OFFER SCIENCE DEGREE?
Many Members of the Faculty Agree on Advisability of a New System
Templin Favors New Step
The meeting was called expressly for the purpose of ascertaining the necessity of providing schools upon the advisibility of permitting the College to issue the B. S degree. Heretothefa, the A. B. degree has been the only one issued from the College, except in the case of a student taking two years of Collegiate study. The second two years in the School of Medicine. As Dean Templin said this morning, this is rather an unfair system, for, a freshman may take five hours in the English department and a few hours in the language department or take three hours mainting three years work in science, and yet he will not be able to secure the degree of Bachelor of Science.
Action Depends on Faculty
Job responsibilities on Faculty Realize the needs of the A.B. degree to meet the demands of a students, the committee which met with the Chancellor decided that the College could easily grant the B.S degree without interfering in any way with the professional schools. As a consequence the College must utter entirely in the hands of the College faculty and a committee was appointed to investigate the proposition and make recommendations, which, if approved by the faculty of the College and the board of Administration, may make recommendations of a nature receive a scientific degree in place of the old A.B.
It is the opinion of most of the prominent faculty men that the granting of the new degree is entirely advisable and that a similar sentiment is growing in other universities throughout the country. The proposition offers some grounds for recommending that educational schools offering the same degree, but, according to Professor Dykstra, one of the committeeemen, the heads of the professional schools here are heartily in favor of the change.
POETRY IN A LABORATORY
Doctor Needham Finds Commor Meeting Ground for Bard and Biologist
Dr. Needham gave an insight into his "recreation," as he called it, to an interested audience of over two hundred biological students who assembled in Snow Ha'l at 3:30 yesterday day afternoon to hear his lecture or "The Common Ground of Poet and Naturalist."
One may find poetry even in this setting the cold formalin soaked carcass of a frog, according to Dr. J. G Chandler, professor of entomology at Cornell University.
Both Like Nature
"The poet and naturalist have more in common than one would think just upon superficial consideration," said Dr. Needham. "Both are seeking after the truth, and endeavoring to interpret nature according to the facts of nature."Literal adherence to facts is naturally less expected of the poet than of the naturalist, but nevertheless some of our greatest poets were trained to see and understand nature. There is a deep feeling of attachment in nature which to poets and naturalists alike is never lost. Poets like naturalists find themselves in childhood, for that is the time when one learns to love nature.
To show the common ground of the poet and naturalist by real examples, Dr. Needham recited bits of verse from Lowell, Burns, Wordsworth, Shakespeare, and other famous poets. He showed that the field in nature was the same for poet and naturalist alike.

CADEMY OF SCIENCE
ARRANGES FOR LIBRARY
ACADEMY OF SCIENCE
The Kansas Academy of Science met in conjunction with the State Teachers' Association at Topeka Saturday November 13. Arrangements were made to secure rooms for a library and the new Memorial Building there.
The Academy was organized by Rev. Johns D. Parker and Prof. B. F. Mudge in 1868 but did not go by that name however, until 1871. Two years later, in 1873, the State Board of Agriculture. The organization has a library of 7,000 volumes and a Kansas mineral industry collection that has taken two gold, twenty-two silver, and fourteen bronze medals. The purpose of the academy is to promote research work and develop the resource of the state.
The next meeting of the Academy will be held at Topeka January 14 and 15. Authorities on science from all over the state will read papers of the professors, who are about twenty-five professors at the University who are members.
DOUB.#SENIOR, IS A DADDY
The College Student's Secret Was Too Good for Him to Keep Any Longer
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 17, 1915
Born November 8th to Charles O. Doub and wife a daughter, Ruth Elizabeth.
For over a week a quiet senior has been going about the campus with a knowing smile. To no one did he confide his secret until this morning when he siddled up to one of his nemates and imparted the following:
"My wife presented me with a daughter last Monday."
It was Charles D. Doub, a senior in the College, and the proud father blushed as he told of his good fortune and accomplishment. I, Doub, and a junior in the College.
The senior class has been searching diligently for a suitable memoriam. Now the problem is solved. C. Askindholm is going to make the new class more interesting with her with a sum of money which will become the property of Puh K仁婴 on her twenty-first birthday. Each member of the senior class will receive an annual sum toward the sum, which is to be deposited on interest at some bank.
Doub's says he feels proud to be a daddy, but, that he has been altogether too busy since the honor wrist thrust upon him: he hates to eat candy and potatoes and wash the dishes. The Doubs live at 547% Indiana street.
The senior president has appointed Charles Sturtevant, Josephine Jaqua, and Ross Busenbark to act on the Cisla Baby Committee for the collecting of the money. Seniors can mail or bring their share to the three members ar leave the money in their hand. They must be san. The earlier the money is placed on deposit, the greater will be the interest twenty-one years hence.
EVERY INCH OF FRASER MADE INTO CLASSROOMS
With the opening of the new mailing room in the basement of Fraser Hall, Thursday morning, five rooms have been put in use since the beginning of this semester, which were never occupied before. There yet remains two rooms which are not finished, numbers 11 and 403.
Prof. R. A. Schwegler of the School of Education, will hold classes in the old mailing room, No. 20. All of the appointments and supplies of the mailing department have been moved to the new quarters.
FEW SERIOUS CASES IN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
With nothing more serious to contend with than a sprained ankle, the physicians and nurses of the University hospital found but few opportunities to exercise their skill durability. Of the 25 cases treated at the hospital, were regarded as being at all serious. Sore throats and bad co'ds constituted the majority of the ailments. In addition to the students cared for at the hospital, ten were under the care of the visiting nurse, who gives them advice to those students who are not sick enough to be sent there.
Inoculations for typhoid are still being given in large numbers at the hospital, but this is not true that by the end of next week, over a hundred will have been completed.
The physicians urge all desiring this treatment have it done at once.
A special program is being planned for the meeting of the German Verein Monday afternoon, Nov. 22. Miss Hochterhorder will stage a one act play, "Ein Knopf." The members of the Verein will be the actors.

Many Attend Varsity Entertainment Makes Financial Success
The amount of the proceeds of Tuesday evenings entertainment at the Varsity theatre, which will go to complete the fund for the W. S. G. A. scholarship, is not yet known. However, according to all indications, the W. S. G. A. will have very large crow attended. The W. S. G. A. will receive the profits, the Varsity Company taking only enough to cover expenses. The W.

Honor Committee Says Student's Are not Entirely to Blame for Cribbing
Students are not entirely to blame for cheating in school work; laxness on the part of the instructors often fosters such practice, says a report issued by the Honor System Committee last spring to the University Senate.
Upon the basis of this report a resolution was passed by the Senate last June; and again on November 2, copies were ordered sent to the members of the faculty. The resolution requests that instructors give care instructions; adequate but not too officious supervision of examinations, conscientious examination of all written work, revision of examination questions by instructors in case they are prepared by the heads of the departments; and requests that instructors adhere to proper authorities and exclude the student from the class in which the cheating occurred.
The freshman and sophomore classes have been accused of resorting to cheating more than the juniors and seniors, but Dean Templin does not think that this is true only insofar as they have a greater opportunity to do so. However, he believes that the careful carrying out of the suggestions made by the Seniors reduces the chance of being binged. But really, only a development of a fine sense of honor will entirely prevent it.
PROGRAM
Dean Templin also commends the suggestion in the resolutions that instructors in classes where note books are used year after year should take it into work so as to prevent the use of the note books of former students.

The Ballad of East and West . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Kipling
In a shipment of books recently received at the library, one of the most interesting is, "Dead Souls," translated from the Russian of Nickolai Gogol. It is a story of a man who buys serfs, or dead souls as they are called in Russia, and borrows money from the Jews, giving his title to the serfs as security. The census is taken after ten years, and during inception of their leaving the Jews the bag to hold. This book is considered to be the greatest piece of humor in Slavic literature.
Prof. C. G. Dunlap recommended that this book be ordered, "Because," he said, "we must know something about Slavic literature. The teaching of Russian is not included in the University curriculum and it is only leading translations that we shall gain any knowledge of this literature."
Other books of especial interest which came in the last shipment are, Digby Mackworth Dolben's "Poetical Works"; "Essays of Joseph Addison"; "The Poetical Works of Shaw"; by A. Hamon; "English Poets and the National Ideal"; by DeSelincourt and "Phonetic Spelling"; by Sir Harry Johnston.

CLASSIFIED MAMMALS OF KANSAS FOR A. M. DEGREE
Geno Branscome
Stillman Kelly
Walter Damroseh
On a month's leave of absence from the service of the United States Government in the north and northwest, Raymond Kellog, who took his A. B. degree in zoo'ogy in the University in 1914, is giving the finishing touches to his thesis for a master's degree.
Mr. Kellog's work has been the systematic classification of all the mammals of Kansas, and he is now working on a few specimens and getting his work into shape for publication. He will be the most complete record of the Kansas mammals ever compiled, and it will be invaulable to those who will do future work in this same field over the state. Every known species in the state is considered and classified, and a number of new species were discovered.
After finishing his work here in the University, Mr. Kellog will go to Montana and Idaho where he will head a party of scientific wolf-hunters, and will carry his work further by reports of species and subspecies of the mammals in that district.
