CHURCH FORTY YEARS OLD
D. C. Croissant has been given a year's leave of absence to work or simplified spelling in New York.
In the year 1872 the society of Friends built in the ten hundred block on Delaware street a stone church and convention building. It is now used as a dwelling house, but meetings are held there every two years, when delegates attend from Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas.
The church was built in the fall of 1872. Members of the Church went to England and Ireland for the purpose of raising money. They received one of the noted contributors was Col. William G. Coffin, of England. At the dedication of the building, Friends from England and Ireland came. Among these was the queen's brother, Sir John Devon Breathwhite.
The church, which is silted back among a clump of trees, is an old stone edifice, of two stories. There is a room off the side, a committee rooms off on the sides.
The convention which is held in this church is made up of seven or more men as representatives from the meetings throughout the three states.
ne quarterly meetings are made up of a number of relative Quaker communities or a group of towns. These groups are into many quarterly districts which are represented one year' at the Friends University at Wichita in a convention and the next year in meeting at this stone church in Lawrence.

STUDENT EXPERIENCES THE REAL TYPE LICE
Eloise Stevenson is Curlous
Eloise Stevenson has always been curious as to the mysteries of the "back office" in the journalism plant. She is curious no longer. For this morning her desires were satisfied and she was initiated into the sacred rites of printermod.
To be a successful newspaper reporter one must first worship at the shrine of that insect which dominates the print shop in its lighter moods—the type lice. When Miss Stevenson gave the information that she wished to see type lice, she was graciously conducted to the back office. Now since the immersion she is vowing vengeance. But to tell what actually occurred would be to give way the secrets. Yet those who have made this journey will understand Miss Stevenson's feelings in the matter.
In Serving You
Believing that University students are interested in the significant events and tendencies of the day, but realizing that they have not the time to read extensively on these topics, the Daily Kansan has started a new department. Each day the editorial page will carry a discussion of current interest. These articles will be selected with care and it is hoped that they will give more than a superficial view of the subjects treated. The article yesterday discussed the Italian crisis and is followed by one today on the British admiralty. Others articles will go into the fields of literature, art and science.

PROFS NOT TO WEAR ANY CAPS AND GOWNS
Senate Fuils to Order Faculty to Don Black Robes This Year
CHANCELLOR FAVORS RULING
Seniors Order More Gowns Tha
Were Worn at Commencement
Time Last Year
Faculty members of the University will not wear caps and gowns during commencement. This conclusion was made this morning after Don Joseph, president of the senior class, had had a conference with Chancellor Frank Strong. At the last two meetings of the University Senate no mention has been made of faculty caps and gowns.
"Doctor Strong is much in favor of the wear of caps and gowns by the faculty," Joseph said this morning. "Others of the faculty are in favor of it, also, but there is such a feeling against it by some of the faculty members that it was not deemed expedient to push the proposition."
No Flowing Garb
"Some members of the faculty declared they would not wear the caps and gowns, even though the faculty did vote to do so. And if the Senate did decide to wear caps and gowns, it would expect everyone to do so. It would have little meaning if a third of the faculty refused to do so.
Expense Sticking Point
"The principal objection to the wearing of caps and gowns by the faculty is the expense. A faculty member must pay from 25 to 40 cents for each second of the day that they must be distinctive as to both degree and school.
An order for 275 senior caps and gowns has already been placed. With the caps and gowns obtainable in Lawrence and the ones owned by students, Joseph believes that at alma mater 300 students will commence a commencement week. This is 75 more than the number to wear caps and gowns a year ago.
"For Kansas paid professors," added President Joseph, "this looks like
MAKES TESTS FOR IMAGES
Give Phrases That Recall Some Kind of Sensation to Individual
Do you think with your eyes, your ears or your nose? In other words, what is the kind and degree of light that you by a word, a sound or an object?
Instructors in the department of psychology have conducted a series of experiments on their students, which explains the development of sensory images in different individuals. To perform the experiment, words or phrases were given which suggested visual, auditory, kinesthetic, touch, temperature, taste, and small images. Following each the student was asked the word suggestion called into his mind. A summary of these results showed the kind of images peculiar to each individual mind.
Some have only visual images, other auditory, while one student proved that he thought in olfactory images by answering, "onions," to the suggestion of gardening. In some cases, a sensation produced by these suggestions is almost as complete as if the actual sensation occurred.

Abilene High School—Abilene high school took the second game from Manhattan Friday at Manhattan, 5 to 4, tying the score and sending in the winning run on Steyer's hit in the ninth. Taylor pitched his first game for Abilene. With this game won and one more to play Abilene is in the lead for the Kaw Valley League penant.
This system of tests was the same as that advocated by psychologists as a test on criminals, on the theory that the person experimented on would write words connected with some past experience.

Administrative Committee Decides Against Application of Pastors
NOT TO GIVE CREDIT FOR STUDY OF BIBLE
REPORT STATES FIVE REASONS
University Could Not Handle Work From non-sectarian Stand Point, Says Committee
The administrative committee of the faculty yesterday refused the request to grant credit for Bible study done at the University. The committee considered the problem on the application of the ministers of the churches of Lawrence and the University pastors.
Would be Sectarian
"If credits were to be given for work offered by the representatives of any Christian denomination it could not be refused for work offered by any sect, whether Christian or not, that might apply for it," reads the report of the committee. "Any rule of exclusion that might be adopted is applicable to the sect excluded and would furnish basis for serious criticism of an institution supported by the taxation of the whole people."
Four Other Grounds
Four other grounds for the refusal of credit for Bible work were given. "Complete separation of the church and state is the most fundamental characteristic of American Government and it would be unwise to contravene this principle in any degree," begins the report.
"It would be administratively illogical to allow credit for work given by instructors not appointed by the University unless given by an institute using a recognized standing in he educational world." continues the report.
"Any supervision by the University of the appointment of the instructors or of their work would be impracticable. It would be nearly impossible that such work be non-sectarian in character. If sectarian, it would not obtain general acceptance as scientific instrument and aid. In any case, it would defeat the purpose for which the chairs are founded and maintained."
DR. NAISMITTS DAUGHTER
IS STEADILY IMPROVING
The condition of Maude Naismith, the ten-year-old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. James Naismith, who underwent an operation early Tuesday morning for appendicitis, is reported as impaired with vision and had been playing with the neighbors' children. A four hours previously she had been playing with the neighbors' children.
Mrs. Naismith is also in poor health and will probably undergo an operation shortly.
WORKING STUDENTS WILL
RECEIVE GYM CREDI
As a help to students who find it necessary to work as they go through school the University is giving them credit for that work. This feature is found among few state institutions. Within a few days 150 young men of the University will receive a blank card stating the average number of hours per day the student has been working.
These students have been employed at various occupations during the school year and the department of physical education proposes to give gym credit to those whose work is of a nature that gives them exercise. The blanks should be returned to the department as soon as possible.
Will Collect Bugs
A party of entomologists from K. U. are planning to make a collection of insects from over the eastern part of the state. They will start the mid-autumn experiment and send from 40,000 to 50,000 specimens to the collection at Dyche Museum.
Women's Pan-Hellenic Entertains
The women's Pan-Hellenic will entertain Friday from 3:30 to 5:30 o'clock at the Kappa house for all university women.
Freshmen Meet
A very important meeting of the freshman class is called by the president for tomorrow at 12:20 in the chapel in Fraser.

PETTY THEIVES TAKE RING FROM THE GYM
Burgular Enters Robinsot
Same Night That Purse
Was Taken in Fraser
In there an organized band of petty thieves at the University? Monday a ring was stolen from Norma Jamieson, a student in domestic science. On the same day a ring was taken from the office in the women's section of Robinson Gymnasium.
These two thefts of valuables are the climax of several months of petty thievery. Fountains, small sums of money, raindogs and umbrellas have been the common prize in these petty thefts.
Miss Sylvia Adams, an instructor in physical education, left her ring lying on a desk in the middle office of the east end of the Gym. Sometimes later, she looked for it but it had disappeared. Circumcism does not form rather definite suspicions she says, and she is working on this basis now.
Miss Jamieson, whose ring was stolen from the laboratories of the domestic science department, has no idea who could have taken her ring. She placed it in her purse which was in a recipe box. While they were in another room, the box was opened and the parse taken. Besides the ring, which had just been given to Miss Jamieson, several dollars were taken. Some one has stolen several of the pottery specimens from the department of drawing and painting in Ad Buiding.

Clarence Nash Not Drowned
LOAN FUND PLEDGES REVEAL GENEROSITY
In reporting Clarence Nash, A. M., "10, as having gone down on the Lusitania, the Daily Kansan was in error. The reports mention Theodore Naish, of Kansas City, Mo., among the missing. The latter also was a sister to the author for special work in the School of Engineering in '00. Clarence Nash is teaching in Central College, Lexington, Ky., and was not on board the Lusitania.
Each Student, the Petitions Iudicate, Has Given One Dolkar
THIRTY-TWO CONTRIBUTED
Says Foster
Papers With Names of Students Come to Office Slowly-Prospects Good Says Foster
Pledges towards the student loan fund are being turned in slowly but nevertheless the students, who have contributed towards the loan fund have shown a spirit of generosity in the amounts pledged. Thirty-two pledges have been turned into the Registrars' office since Tuesday noon. "No large contributions have been sent in today, but we are expecting some on-one payments." O. Foster at noon. An announcement of the amount pledged cannot be estimated yet as all the petitions have not been turned in.
Every person in the University will be given the chance to contribute to this student loan fund. Petitions will be kept in circulation among the students and the semester. Some instructors have not used petitions in classes yet.
