VOLUME VII
DOGS OF WAR WILL BE LOOSED
TWO COMPANIES OF K. N. G WILL FIGHT.
On May 17 at 7:30 p.m. a Woodland Park the Battle Begins.
A fort will be constructed at Woodland Park and ten men from each company will be detailed to defend it against the attacks of the rest of the company. The commander of the fort has not been chosen but it will probably be either Captain Clark of the Lawrence National Guards or Captain Shifler of the University company. Both of these men at the present time have sixty two men in their company and all of the men will be compelled to take part in the manoeuvres The fight is to take place at 7:30 p.m. and as May 17 is to be called the Military Day at the park there is sure to be much interest in the battle. Complete plans have not been made but as soon as Captain Clark returns from the manoeuvers in Mexico work will begin on the details. After the battle there will be a military ball in the dancing pavilion at the park to which all are invited.
The University company of the Kansas National Guard will receive its initial baptism of fire on May 17 when a real battle will be staged at Woodland Park. The annual State Encampment of the G. A. R. will be held in Lawrence on May 16, 17, and 18 and Company A of the University and the company H of Lawrence under Captain Clark are going to put on a real fight that will make all of the old boys recall' the days when they were on the fighting line.

KANSAS WON FROM BAKER
Made 17 Hits And Only Two Errors.
Manager Lansdon's nine piece orchestra journeyed to Baker-town yesterday and gave a delightful rendition before an appreciative audience of that fireside favorite, "After the Ball." The Methodist brethren from Baldwin have always had the reputation of possessing a cracking good symphony orchestra themselves but when the men of Captain Haller commenced the overture and had succeeded in making three of the members complete the circuit in safety, the men from Baker quietly roosined their bows and were content to play second fiddle for the rest of the game.
NUMBER 86
One Locke wielded the baton for the local musicians and under his direction there were only nine discords made which in the end counted for four runs. The Jayhawks started the game with an allegretto that double-quicked and accelerated into a vely vivace and before the boys from the south could strike their proper tempo three of the locals had reached the coda and had put their instruments away. The fifth number on the program was the disastrous one for the University boys. Several of the men lost their music and Director Locke lost control and before order could be restored Baker had made a score. After the last finale had been played the score read 10 to 3. Seventeen bits were made by the locals while the Methodists collected nine.

WHAT SHALL BE TAUGHT?
"Less Latin and Greek and more practical subjects," is the ideal which Governor Stubbs has set up in state education, and the Governor has announced that he will use his influence to shape the state schools to his ideals. "I don't know that I should say less Latin and Greek should be taught, but by all means there should be more industrial training in all schools, from the lower grades to the Doctor's degree," said Prof. Charles Zueblin at the University last week. James Bryce, the British ambassador, made an address before the Phi Beta Kappa society at Michigan last week in which he argued strongly for a larger study of the ancient languages. Ambassador Bryce has spent his life largely in an intellectual atmosphere, and he is in a position to see how great will be the loss to the world if the classics are abandoned as a subject of study. Governor Stubbs and Professor Zueblin, on the other hand, are more interested in the industrial aspect of society, and they can see how much the world may be benefited by industrial training. Such views as are expressed by all three of the men quoted will have to be considered by educators in the near future. Education can no longer be limited to the classies. Neither is the world ready to get along without the classies. Therefore, the education of the future means increasing of courses and facilities, the retention of what has been proved by time to be good and the addition from time to time of what comes to be considered desirable.
ARE WE DISCOURAGED?
For the eighth consecutive time Missouri has defeated Kansas in debate. The team that represented the University was
considered to be one of the best that has ever been sent from the school and yet the Tigers defeated them with as much ease, seemingly, as they have the other teams in former years. Like the Hon. Post's war cry up at Battle Creek presumably "There's a Reason," but just what this reason is, is proving mighty puzzling to Kansas.
Kansas has won one and lost two debates this year. Both of the defeats were by teams that were reputed to be the best that had ever represented their institution. Both of the losing Kansas teams were considered to be far above the average University debating teams. The only reason that can be assigned to the defeats for Kansas is the excellence of the opposing teams. Debating is coming more and more each to be recognized as a true college activity among the western schools and the high class of men that represent these schools each year means much for the future of debating. The results of the debates at Kansas this year are not discouraging.
The Kansas City Star contains in its last edition a vivid description of an attempted kidnapping of a University young lady. Such a story ought not be printed. In a short time fond parents over the state will hesitate to send their children to a school where there is danger of their being kidnapped and held for ransom.
The election for membership on the Women's Student Government Association should be given careful attention. This organization ought to occupy the same relations to the young ladies that the Men's Student Council does to the men. Both of these bodies are experiencing a remarkable growth of power and they are both bound to be greater factors in the school life. An enthusiastic election will do much towards making the work more effective.
The success of the interclass meet last Saturday illustrates the possibilities of what a Kansas track team can do by systematic training. One record was broken and in several other cases the runners came with a fraction of a second of breaking records. Everything points for another defeat of Missouri in the outdoor track meet.
Where Boston Gets Its Culture.
Then is Boston culture a myth? Not while Miss Ibsenetta Browning dwells among us. Ibsenetta reads Plato on the trolley cars, and quotes Kant in season and out. Her dream is to back you into a corner and talk you a monograph. She justifies everything the comic papers have said about Boston culture. She comes from Kansas.—Roland Lynde Hartt, in Metropolitan Magazine.

--young man. Good Form, this spring, gives fullest sanction to certain lively color-combinations which, a few seasons ago, would have been considered "giddier than a College Widow." Be careful, however, about the "cut" and "drape" of your clothes. The Semi-British effect is the thing, but be mighty sure you don't get one of the dowdy imitations which are parading under the name of "English suits." We will be pleased to show the new stuff that's in vogue with the most discriminating young men in the Eastern style centers; very special models and patterns, not shown elsewhere in Lawrence.

The Tornado Was First in His tory of Lawrence.
APRIL COOL AND DRY
In general the month just past was according to the University weather just issued, very much like April of last year, cool and dry. The mean temperature was 53.73 degrees which is .96 degrees below the April average. The highest temperature was 90.2 degrees on the 29th; this maximum while much higher than usual for April has bee n exceeded several times during the 43 previous years that the record has been kept.
The rainfall for the month was 1.70 inches which is 1.31 inches below the April average. There were four thunderstorms during the month. The seismograph showed two earthquakes, one of which was that which occurred in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico, where it did much damage.
The report states that the tornado which visited Lawrence on April 12 was the first destructive one in the history of the city. In the western part of town the tornado's path was about 100 feet in width but before it crossed the river it had widened to 600 feet or more and was even wider in North Lawrence.

COLLEGIATE STANDARD
K. U. Admitted To Association of Kansas Colleges.
The heads of the thirteen accredited colleges of the state attended a meeting in the office of State Superintendent E. T. Fairchild Wednesday. The meeting was called some time ago by Mr. Fairchild for the purpose of the standardization of the colleges. The purpose of the standardization is to make it possible for the State Board of Education to issue a life certificate to a graduate of any of the thirteen institutions. Superintendent Fairchild at first decided to call in the heads of the schools one at a time and arrange to bring each school up to the standard. Then the idea of having all of the heads of all the schools meet together and talk the matter over appealed to him and he issued the call. He had received replies from most of the men to whom invitations were sent and all the schools were expected to be represented.
The thirteen accredited schools are, University of Kansas, State Agricultural college, Emporia State Normal, Washburn college, Southwestern college at Winfield, Friends and Fairmount at Wichita, Midland college at Atchison, Baker university, at Baldwin Cooper college at Sterling, Campbell college at Holton, Ottawa university at Ottawa and the College of Emporia at Emporia.
The accredited colleges met and recommended that the State Board of Education standardize all accredited colleges and voted to recommend that beginning with Sept. 1913, there should not be two standards for granting of state certificates to college students but that the certificates should be granted after four years of collegiate work. The University of Kansas was made a member of the association of Kansas colleges and a committee was appointed to draft recommendations to the State Board of Education as to the requirements of courses in education.

WILL TURN AGAIN TO THE CLASSICS
VOGUE OF "PRACTICAL"
STUDIES IS TRANSIENT.
Universities Must Have Cultural Courses Says Ambassador Bryce.
James Bryce, British ambassador to the United States, in an address before the Phi Beta Kappa society of Michigan university made a plea for increased study of the humanities. He spoke in much the same stream as in his chapel address at the University of Kansas a year ago. Interest in the classics should always abide, he thinks, while the present study of "practical" subjects to the exclusion of all else will pass when economic conditions change. A part of the address follows:
"One of the prime purposes of education is to prepare men to entertain themselves. Universities should be the gateway not only to the factory, the shop and the office, but to life in its broadest sense; to nature, poetry and literature. Universities, like men, do not live by bread alone. I have no complaint to make of practical courses, because all courses are practical, either in aiding us to earn a livelihood or to amuse ourselves."
"The study of the dead languages is important and profitable, principally because it gives us a great comprehension of our own language, and this in turn acts upon our thoughts, so that our minds are liberalized, our imagination quickened, and our knowledge of all things becomes more accurate. The study is important, secondly, because it aids in the acquisition of style. But perhaps the greatest use of old literature is to aid us to understand the past. We all live too much in the present, or, as the poet says, the world is too much with us. We can never understand the present without an accurate, comprehensive and sympathetic knowledge of the past; and the best way to know the past is to understand its literature. The remote past, too, is the most worthy of our study, for in it we find those things that are primal and universal in human nature. To see how greatly we men have changed is most enlightening, and toknow the measure of progress of man is highly instructive and indicates the probable paths to be followed by civilization in the future.
St. Marys defeated Washburn in a snappy game of ball last Saturday at St. Marys by a score of 3 to 1.
"I regret extremely that the number of men who are studying Latin is becoming small, and the number of those studying Greek infinitesimal. I venture to predict, however, if the universities can safely pass the danger period that is threatening us now, in twenty or thirty years there will be a great reaction in the attitude toward these ancient literatures. The pressure of intense competition in business will diminish in the next generation; the great corporations will have spent their force and completed their exploitation; gainful occupations will decrease in importance; the ideals of men will lean toward pursuits that are ungainful in the practical sense, and the study of classies will revive."

KATES IS NEXT MANAGER
Large Audience Greeted Glee Club at F. A. A.
After the concert the club was entertained at the home of the manager, John Powers, and the election of next year's manager was held.

PLAYERS MAKE DISCOVERY.
Young Jack Rabbits Make Home on Links.
The University campus affords many specimens for zoological study if you know where to find them. A surprising discovery was made last week on the golf links by a number of ball players. The pitcher was throwing a steady game when suddenly he began to weaken. He seemed to hear a sort of peeping or squealing very shrill and yet so low that he could not distinguish where the noise came from.
The players crowded around to find out the cause of his queed actions. Suddenly one of them fell on his knees and pulled away a handful of dead grass from a small hole. Crowded snuggly in the nest were five baby wild jack-rabbits. They were too young to see anything but bounced around when they were disturbed. The athletes covered up the nest and went on with the game.

MEDIOCRE RECORDS MADE SATURDAY
JUNIOR PROM HAD A BAD EFFECT.
Patterson Made Good Time in Half-Mile—Juniors Won Easily.
Only one of the University records was broken in the interclass track meet Saturday afternoon and only one other was at all in danger. Charles Woodbury broke his record in the pole vault of last year at 11 feet and 3 inches by clearing the bar at 11 feet and 6 inches. Patterson won first place in the half mile race in two minutes and two and three fifths seconds falling short of the University record by the three-fifths of the second. The freshman who was expected to break the records in the shot put and the discus failed to deliver the goods at the proper time. Ammons won first place in both those events and directly after the event had been closed Bower threw the discus further by a foot than the throw that took the first place.
Although none of the records in the running races were broken, the time that was made in all the races approaches the time of the records. It is said that the condition of the track and the wind in the southwest is the cause of the failure to shatter more of the marks made by former athletes of the University. The final score of the meet was juniors 66, sophomores 36, and the freshmen and seniors tied with $24\%$ points.
The summary :
Pole vault—Won by C. Woodbury, junior, at 11 feet 6 inches; second, Parker, senior, at 10 feet 10 inches; Pike and Atkinson, freshmen tied for third place.

Tennis Squad Take 4 Out of 6 From Baker.
The University of Kansas tennis team, which has maintained an unblemished record for the past several seasons ushered in the present season yesterday with a decisive victory over the Baker racket-wielding contingent on the home courts of the Methodists. The Jayhawkers captured four of the six matches played, three in the singles and one in the doubles. Last year the Baker team met the K. U. team captained by Donald Watson and lost five out of six matches. This spring, the Bakerites believe they have a stronger team and the feat of subduing them in their own camp speaks well for the squad. The scores complete are as follows:
Hawes, K. U., won from Power,
B. 6;2: 2-6; 8-6
Singles:
Nees, K. U., won from Allerdice. B. 6:3-6:3.

MISSOURI DEFEATED KANSAS IN DEBATE
FOR EIGHTH CONSECUTIVE TIME JAYHAWKERS LOSE
Judges Were Robertson Sumner,
And Scarritt—Plead Lack
of Time.
For the eighth consecutive time Kansas was defeated by Missouri in the debate held at Columbia last Saturday night. The vote was 2 to 1. The judges were: Judge Robertson of Mobery, Chas. Summer of Kansas City and Judge Scarritt of Kansas City. Missouri, represented by Boiseau and Marshall won on the affirmative side of the question: "Resolved that Minimum Wage Legislation should be applied in the Fields of the Sweated Industries."
The Kansas men, Eliot Porter and Clarence Conner, attribute their defeat to a lack of time in that Missouri introduced immaterial argument which it was necessary for them to disprove. Besides proving that minimum wage could not be applied in the United States, it was necessary that the Kansas team offer a substitute. They substituted the restriction of immigration as a more logical means than the minimum wage. In order to prove this and meet Missouri's numerous proposals they needed more than the allotted time.
WILL MEET AT TOPEKA
State Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament. Mav 12.
The next tournament the varsity players will enter will be the State Intercollegiate meet to be held at Topeka, May 12 and 13. In order to determine the best singles players, the men on the squad will start a round robin tournament at once on the Rowlands courts. The following players will be entered: Rohrer, Nees, Richardson, Hawes, and Motz.
Any others who have aspirations to make the team will be afforded ample opportunity to enter the tournament. The only requirement is that the candidate must name two members of the squad whom he thinks he can defeat, and then do it to the tune of two out of three matches. If he can accomplish this task, he will become a full-fledged member of the 1911 tennis team of the University of Kansas.
The Washburn baseball team lost to the Kansas Wesleyans last Friday at Salina by a score of 14 to 4.
RECEIVES ANOTHER PRIZE
Edith Pinney Awarded $500 For Best Paper.
Edith Pinney, who was graduated from the University in 1909 and who is now attending Bryn Mawr College, has received a prize of five hundred dollars for a paper that she has written. The prize was given by the Alumnae Association of all the women's colleges in the east, and is for the best work done in any department. With it she will go to a zoological station at Naples, Italy, which is the oldest and most prominent zoological station in the world, where she will continue her studies.
Miss Pinney was recently awarded a fellowship, for five hundred dollars, at Bryn Mawr for doing the most deserving work of any student at the college.
President Edmund Stanley and Prof. B. W. Truesdell of Friends University were in Lawrence on educational business Tuesday. They attended the meeting of the State Board of Education and the meeting of the Kansas college presidents at Topeka in the afternoon. Professor Truesdell returned to Lawrence and spent Wednesday visiting with friends from Wichita who are students in Kansas University.
WILL LAY WALKS
There will be a labor holiday at Baker University this week and all of the boys of the university will be called upon to lay cement sidewalks on the campus. The girls will cook dinner and supper and will serve it on the campus. On this labor holiday the boys will help to lay 4,800 square feet of cement sidewalk.
Ever since the two new buildings have been in use at Baker University they have been connected with the other buildings on the campus with plank walks. The new walks will be paid for by the alumni and friends of the school, while the students will lay the walk to save money.

PUBLIC IS TOLD FACTS ABOUT FOOD
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1911
EXTENSION DEPARTMENT SENDS OUT ADDRESS.
Dr. Bailey's Paper on "Cost and Value of Food" Sent to Labor Unions.
It is the purpose of the University to extend to the people of the state who cannot attend its classes at Lawrence the largest possible share of its educational benefits. In doing this, the Department of University Extension is co-operating with the existing organizations. The method employed by this department is to have different professors in the University prepare addresses; mimeograph copies are sent to the secretary of each of the trade unions, to be presented and considered, perhaps discussed at a meeting of the local organization.
There are in the state of Kansas 500 labor unions. E. B. Cowgill of the Extension department is at present sending to each of these an address by E. H. S. Bailey of the department of Chemistry. The subject of this lecture is "Cost and Value of Food," and is the first of a series. The secretaries of the unions are to reply if they desire to be placed on the list of those who will receive the lecures.
Prof. Bailey explains that the purpose in his address is to remedy the existing condition of waste of the American people He says: "We are called prodigal, not only in the use of our natural resources, but of food, clothing, and even of life itself." He divides his subject matter into what will contribute toward economy in food and its preparation and the chance there is for improvement in the selection of the foods best fitted to nourish the body.
Some of the things that will contribute to needed economy of food are given as follows: (1) Stop eating more than is needed. (2) Stop the waste in the selection of food. (3) Do not waste good food by throwing it away. (4) Remember that food bought in small packages often costs more than it is worth. (5) Contradict the fallacy that "the most expensive food is best." (6) Do not purchase food out of season. (7) Remember that the best of food may be spoiled by bad cooking. (8) Fuel is often wasted in cooking food from lack of fore thought. (9) Since the cost of living has so much increased the person providing and preparing the food must adopt a more careful system and thus avoid waste.
Prof. Bailey says: "Dried beans are not in favor with some because of the label on the 'Boston Baked Beans' which looks so attractive." He advises for economy and health that hams and shoulders be pickled and smoked at home, fruit "put up" in jars in place of buying it in cans and in order to save the cost of delivery of small packages from the grocer that groceries be purchased in large quantities.
Statements are quoted by Dr. Ladd of North Dakota, Mrs. Richards a leading authority in this country, Dr. Wiley of Washington, and John Locke, the eminent Englishman.
Prof. Bailey concludes by saying: "By economy in the selection and preparation of food, the quantity of the 'good things of this life' will be increased, and by intelligent care as to what we eat and how much, health will be improved and life prolonged."
TO BE STATE GEOLOGIST
Dr. Geo F. Kay, Formerly of K U.. Has Iowa Position.
Dr. George F. Kay, who was for a number of years a member of the faculty in the department of mining engineering at the University of Kansas, has been appointed state geologist of Iowa. Professor Kay left the University of Kansas in 1907 to become professor of economic geology and petrology at the University of Iowa.
Professor Kay was a popular and efficient member of the faculty here and his appointment as state geologist of Iowa will be learned of with pleasure by his friends in Lawrence and his former students.
DEBATE TOMORROW
Independence Rooters Will Charter Special Car—Prizes Are on Display Down Town.
The first annual debate to decide the state high school championship will be held in the chapel of Fraser hall Friday evening at 8:15 o'clock. No admission will be charged. A special car on the Santa Fe will bring the Independence rooters tomorrow afternoon. The schools who will debate are Ashland which will take the negative and Montgomery county high school of Independence which will take the affirmative. The question is concerning the restriction of immigration and the exact wording is: "Resolved, That our present immigration laws be amended so as to debar all immigrants over sixteen years of age and unable to read and write; provided that this amendment shall not debar dependents upon qualified immigrants or residents of the United States.
Those who will represent Ashland are: Fred Hinkle, Cale Carson, and Clarence Bare. Those who will represent Montgomery county are: Ray Mcquiston, Jerry Shearer, and Henry Shinn. The judges will be: F. H. Olney, principal of the Lawrence high school, Judge C. A. Smart of the district court, and W. E. Higgins of the University School of Law.
The championship banner, which has been offered to the winning team by Prof. R. R. Price and the others on the committee who has charge of the debate, is on display at Rowland's book store. The regents' silver loving cup is on exhibition at Marks' jewelry store. This cup will be kept by the winners until the champions of the next year are known but if they happen to be the same the cup becomes the permanent property of that school, or any school that wins it for two years in succession.
Senior Girls' Party.
Palette Club Held Spread.

MEET CORNHUSKERS ONTRACKSATURDAY
ATHLETES LEAVE FOR LI
COLN TORROW.
Hamilton Believes That Kansas Will Win—Dope Has It 64,45.
Tomorrow morning at 11:20 nineteen members of the University track team will go to Lincoln where they will meet Nebraska in the first outdoor meet of the season. Coach Hamilton is optimistic over the prospects for winning the meet and predicts that with an even break of luck Kansas will take the meet by at least nineteen points.
The two Woodbury are expected to take both places in the hurdles and French is counted a sure winner in the high jump and Wilson may take first in the broad jump. Kansas will probably take both places in the pole vault. Tod Woodbury with his record of eleven feet, six inches last Saturday and Clem Parker going over the bar at eleven feet look good for eight points. Ammons will take seconds in both the shot put and the discus. The relay is in doubt but Coach Hamilton is counting on Black, Fairchild, Gribble and Captain Hamilton to turn the trick. According to the dope as put out by coach Hamilton today the result of the meet will be Kansas 64 and Nebraska 45.
In the 100 and 220 yard dashes Kansas should take at least five points and in the quarter mile Black is counted on to take a second. The half mile promises to be the most hotly contested event in the meet with Patterson opposing Anderson. Watson has been showing excellent form in the mile and is counted on to take first place. In the two mile Nebraska has men who are unknown to Kansas but there is a good chance for Osborne to take first. Fisher who has been running in this event for Kansas is forced to stay at home on account of school work.
Prof. J. W. Young, of the department of Mathematics, left last night for Hanover, Massachusetts, where he was summoned by the authorities of Dartmouth University to consider a proposition of accepting a position in that institution.
OFFERED PROFESSORSHIP
The men who will go to Lincoln are Captain Hamilton, C. Woodbury, H. Woodbury, French, Roberts, Schwab, D. Davis, Black, Fairchild, Gribble, Patterson, Kraus, Watson, Osborn, Murray, Wilson, Ammons, Parker, G. Smith and Coach Hamilton and Trainer Burgess.
Prof. J. W. Young May go to Dartmouth.
A number of telegrams have been exchanged but as yet the professor has made no decision and will go to Dartmouth to look over the situation. He will be gone a little over a week.

One of the features of the publicity campaign for the May Fete this year will be hand painted posters which will be placed in the several popular student resorts and in the various buildings. These posters are twenty in number and are the work of the members of the school of Fine Arts. Commencing next Friday a few of them will be posted and these will be changed daily.
The Lawrence Merchants association has agreed to furnish the programs for the Fete and the committee in charge is preparing copy for a program that will be in the nature of a feature booklet.
DR. WILBER RESIGNS
Growth of Work And Change of Administration Policy Responsible—Knew Many Students.
Dr. F. A. Wilber has announced to his board of trustees that he will conclude his connection with the work of Westminster hall at the end of the present academic year. Six years ago the Westminster Association for Biblical Instruction called Dr. Wilber to inaugurate a Presbyterian student pastorate at the University. After five years of work, in surroundings not adapted to the needs of the pastorate, the new hall on Oread avenue was built. The growth of the work, with largely increased running expenses, and changes in the policy o administration, have decided Dr. Wilber to withdraw from the enterprises of which he has been able to lay the foundations. Although the Presbyterians of Lawrence have given the work most loyal support, the endowment fund has not yet been brought up by the state at large to the maximum of requirement needful for the highest efficiency of the enterprise.
During Dr. Wilber's Work here his classes have been conducted not simply for Presbyterians but for students of any other or no denominational preference.
Dr. and Mrs. Wilber and Miss Pauline Sage in their instruction have greatly aided the Y. M. and Y. W. Christian Associations in the Bible and mission courses. They have in fact so identified themselves with all the activities of the University life that the severing of their connection with the work of Westminster hall will be felt as a distinct loss by many students.
Two Speakers at Y. M. C. A.
The speakers at the Y. M. C. A. meeting this evening will be A. G. Aldrich of New York, traveling secretary of the students' volunteer movement. His subject is "The Fundamental Principles in Choosing a Vocation."
After his address Perry O. Hanson, the first general secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., will speak. Mr. Hanson was secretary for the year 1899 and 1900. In 1903 he went to China and has been there until he returned recently. He will speak on some phase of his work while there.
Boodin Will Speak at Ottawa.
Prof. J. E. Boodin will deliver the baccalaureate address at the Ottawa high school on May 21. Last Saturday he completed the course of extension lectures at Atchison.

Notes of the Election.
In the Engineering building today, the judges closed the polls at noon while they went home to dinner.
At noon today in the school of Law the ballots were cast and it was found that only seven Law students had not voted.
The excitement attached to general elections was lessened to some extent today by the fact that the girls had no place in the election.
A new wrinkle in K. U. politics was introduced yesterday by Jesse Gephart one of the successful candidates for councillor from the College. He sent out individual letters to every voter in the College.
At chapel time in the College the voting booths were filled and window sills and walls were used as supports while the ballots were marked. To stop this the judges required the voters to stand in line and the line extended nearly to the front door. In the afternoon however the voting was extremely low.
St. Marys Ahead in the Fifth.

Seniors have just had time to take a good breath since the Junior Prom last week and tomorrow evening the second round in the social whirl will be taken. The Sophomore Prom is scheduled to start at six o'clock and the managers have promised that dancing will cease at one o'clock. The question of the early starting of the Proms has been thoroughly discussed and it seems to be the concensus of opinion that an early starting is desirable. However some question the advisability of starting at six o'clock. After tomorrow evening the entire matter will be given a thorough test and the question will probably be definitely settled. Those who attend the Sophomore Prom should be as considerate about prompt attendance as were those who went to the Junior Prom.
Today the University is in the throes of another election. Members of the Men's Student Council will be chosen today and as usual politics is playing a great part in the game. As long as there are University elections there will be politics and as long as there is no mud-slinging no harm can come.
Next Saturday a large number of the high school students of the state will be at the University to attend the interscholastic track meet. These visits are great occasions for the high school boys and if ever the University is to make a good impression upon these people, Saturday is the day to do it. Courtesy by University people will do much towards making these boys and girls decide where they are going to school. If we allow a spirit of aloofness and even ridicule to dominate our attitude toward the visitors we will have a small
ehance to have them enrolled as University students. It seems to be considered a necessary thing for college men to show off superiority before those who have not yet reached the stage of higher education. Our actions toward the visitors Saturday should be tempered with courtesy and geniality.
Festive Occasion For Paul

JAYHAWKER COPY LOST.
Material Sent to Topeka Last Week is Missing.
There is consternation among the members of the Jayhawker Board. This morning George Russell manager of the Annual, received word from Topeka that in some unaccountable way the copy for the scandal section of the Jayhawker which was sent up last week, had been lost and that all efforts to find a trace of the material handed in were futile. The scandal section of the 1911 Annual was reported to contain some of the choicest bits of hill news that have ever appeared in a like production and the managers are much worked up over the loss. If the missing copy is not found in a few days, an extra session of the board will be held and an attempt to duplicate the former productions will be made.

With two out in the ninth innings and the score standing 6 to 5 in favor of the Phi Delts, the Phi Psis batted in three runs and won the Pan-hellenic ball games held on McCook field Tuesday afternoon. The contest was any body's game until the last man was out. Delaney for the Phi Psis and Porter for Phi Delts both pitched a good game. Porter went behind the bat in the sixth and Alphin pitched.
"Skinny" Frith lead in the batting honors. In the first of the ninth when two men were down "Larry" Doyle hit over the right field fence for two bags. Delaney the next man up was walked and both seated on Pettit's line drive to right field. Tholen brought Pettit in with a clean hit over second base.

KICKS.
Editor of Kansan:— c
I have noticed that other persons have registered dyspeptic murmurings through your columns, and I now beg of you that you will permit me to plant my foot with a vigorous kick against the ribs of unhampered custom. For some time sir I have been annoyed by the large display of spring millinery which has been appearing in the various class rooms. Incidently I might state that I have been playing the little man behind. In days of childhood I played the good old game of peek-a-boo with as much enjoyment as the rest of the children. But I honestly believe that a University class room is hardy the place for such amusement. Large hats, however, on the front row of the class room have compelled me to play this old game with the professor for the past few weeks. Only today I tried to get notes on an experiment being carried on up in front; the only results that I could get were fourteen ostrich feathers, twelve yards of pink baby ribbon, and several piles of cultivated straw.
Democracy has long held her seat in this University; but it seems that the girls are determined to push her out by making an Easter parade out of the class room. Sincerely,
WILL TRY CASE MAY 10
STUDENT.
Prof. W. E. Higgins Will Act as Judge.
On May 10 the Kupfer-Phillips case of assault, and battery will be held in moot court in the Law school. Prof. W. E. Higgins will act as judge of the trial. Kupfer has engaged as his lawyers A. O. Andrew and Leonard Hammer while the counsel for Phillips consists of Clem Parker and H. A. Burgess.
The representatives of both the plaintiff and the defendant have been working on the case during the past few weeks and each side is confident of winning. The case will be tried before a jury which will deal out the punishment in the form of paddling to the losing man.
At the time the necessity of the official caps for freshmen was being impressed so forcefully upon the minds and other parts of the first year men, Homer Phillips refused to wear the small lid. When a number of Middle and Senior Laws attempted to force him to obey the ruling of the student council, he resisted. Kupfer is now bringing action against Phillips.
Alumni of the University are making success and bringing honor to their Alma Mater in every branch of activities in the world. Hale Hamilton of Topeka, Kansas, has been playing the title role in "Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford" in New York all this season. The play has had a wonderful run at the Geo. M Cohan theater.
The Aggie ball team defeated Washburn 5 to 1 in a game played at Manhattan on Tuesday. The game Wednesday was even more onesided as the Aggies won by a 16 to 2 score.
Southwestern won from the Oklahoma Aggies ball team last Monday in a sensational 12-ning game at Winfield with a score of 5 to 4.
University of Illinois defeated the University of Arkansas in baseball last Monday at Champaign, Ill., by a score of 9 to 4.

FINE ARTS RECITALS WERE SUCCESSFUL
GRADUATING ENTERTAIN-
MENTS PLEASED AUDIENCE
I
Several Difficult Selections Were Given by Seniors.-Recitals Are Well Attended.
Miss Agnes Husband, gave a song recital at Fraser hall last night, which was one of the most remarkable ever given by a student at the University. A wide range was covered operatic aries being given from the earliest composer of Italian opera to the modern Weber whose great "Oberon" aria was the piece resistance and magnificently rendered from the storm scene to the rescue with all the varied emotions adequately expressed.
The modern songs were very pleasing especially the "Hindu Slumber Song," the "Little Gray Dove," and the "Bohomian Cradle Song," which effectively closed the program. The recital last night was a fitting culmination of her appearance at the University. The stage was decorated with roses and vines. The accompaniments were played by Miss Greisinger.
Miss Lillian Kirchoff gave a recital Tuesday night in which she read scenes from "The Sky Pilot" by Connor. Her rendition of the touching story was dramatic and moving. Two appropriate organ selections were played by Dean Skilton.
STUDENTS GIVE FECITAL

The Phi Gams won the Panhellenic game yesterday afternoon in the ninth inning after two men were out. The Alpha Taus lead in the scoring up to the ninth with a score of 5 to 4. Waters, who pitched for the Phi Gams was hit freely and was succeeded by Trickett who was wild at first but settled down and pitched a steady game. Minor for the Alpha Taus pitched consistent ball.
Truby lead off in the ninth innning with a double in deep center, Kimball followed with a clean three bagger in the same place, scoring Truby. The final score was 6 to 5.

A CONVERT TO JAPAN
Such a One Was Hearn, The Novelist.
"The man who has best inter- poeted the Japan of today from a European standpoint is Laf adie Hearn, a novelist of wide repute." This was the opinion of Prof. Charles S. Skilton, dean of the School of Fine Arts, in his chapel talk Tuesday morning.
"Hearn," continued Prof. Skitton. "was a curious mixture of European blood, as he was born in the Ionian Islands and his father was an Irish sergeant in the British army. He lived in Wales for the first sixteen years of his life and then came to America. After twenty years here he went to Japan, to write books for Harper Brothers. There during the last fifteen years of his life he studied Japanese life and was able to give the world a true account of the Japanese from the viewpoint of the Occident. This was especially appreciated during the recent Russo-Japanese war when everybody was interested in Japan.
"He even became a Japanese citizen and married a Japanese woman. Moreover, he was converted to the Buddhism religion and on his death a few years ago was buried in a Buddhist cemetery with Buddhist rites. During the first five years of his life in Japan he claimed to have received no criticisms of any kind, and consequently he had a high opinion of the Japanese. Later he modified his views.
"He gained his start in life in the United States as a reporter on the Cincinnati Enquirer. His first success was the detailed account of a murder and was due to the fact that he had a morbid curiosity for the unusual, such as calamities and ghost stories. At New Orleans he found work congenial to him on the Times Democrat which at that time, 1877, printed mostly essays and little news. From there he went to the West Indies and wrote of the island of Saint Pierre which was later completely destroyed by a volcanic eruption."
In closing Dean Skilton read several selections from Hearn's works.

GOV. STUBBS ASKS ABOUT CLASS ROOMS
SENDS LETTER YESTERDAY
TO THE CHANCELLOR.
Thinks Class Rooms Could be Utilized by More Students— Chancellor to Report Today.
When the state commission on higher education meets today in the office of Governor Stubbs it is expected that it will have laid before it by Cancellor Frank Strong, of the State University, a statement showing the exact length of time each class room at the University has been used each day during the past month.
This information has been asked for by letter by Governor Stubbs. The other day the Governor received one of the bulletins of the Carnegie foundation for the advancement of teaching, and in this bulletin he discovered that the class rooms of the various universities in the country are not used to exceed three or four hours per day.
"If this is true of the Kansas educational institutions," said Governor Stubbs yesterday, "It may be possible to make a big saving in the matter of expenditure for new buildings. If by making new arrangements the class rooms can be utilized for a greater length of time each day it will reduce the necessity for new and additional rooms. I expect the commission to take this matter up when it meets here tomorrow."
Below is the copy of the letter sent to Chancellor Strong asking for the information. The Governor thinks it is possible that the commission will be able to solve the problem of additional space at the educational institutions through the suggestions given out by the Carnegie foundation: "Chancellor Frank Strong."
Lawrence, Kansas
"Dear Chancellor—I have before me a report from the Carnegie foundation for the advancement of teaching, bulletin No. 5 in which the economical use of buildings is discussed. This bulletin indicates that the class rooms of various universities and colleges throughout the country are not used on an average to exceed three or four hours per day.
"Lawrence, Kansas.
GUILD ELECTS OFFICERS
"For the information of the state commission which meets here on Thursday next, will you be kind enough to furnish a statement showing the exact length of time per day each room in the several buildings of the university was used during the past month.

"W. R. STUBBS,

President Hadley, of Yale, recently discussed probable Yale plans similar to those proposed by Harvard, which desires to make that university of use to the people of Cambridge. In speaking of the Harverd scheme he said: "We shall have reached the same result in other ways by opening museums of collection, for instance." He also brought out the plan of summer school for New Haven teachers, athletic playgrounds, and free tuition which he said he had found by experience to be unappreciated and impracticable.

SOPHOMORE PROM UP TO STANDARD
SECOND YEAR PEOPLE EN TERTAINED WELL
500 Students and Faculty Attended—"The Hit Bubble" Was Very Clever.
Last evening the sophomores entertained the seniors and others at the annual Sophomore Prom in the gymnasium. Over five hundred students and faculty members attended this function and all pronounce it a great success. Following the example of the Juniors, the Prom was started at six o'clock and shortly after 6:15 the doors were closed and the faree was started. "The Hit Bubble," a one act college comedy with musical relief, was the offering of the class of 1913 and the production was well received. It abounded with take offs on University people and many of them were real clever. The farce deals with a perplexing situation in which Frank, chairman of "Student Day," finds himself when his only suit of clothes is taken from his room and the hour of his appearance on the campus is due. The losing and finding of the necessary apparel is the theme about which the play is built. There were seven musical numbers. "The Brave Chauffeur," the opening song, was written by Vera Brady, daughter of J. L. Brady of Lawrence. "Frivelity" was one of the songs that scored a big hit. The words and music to this were composed by Henry Campion of the class of 1913 and a member of the cast. Charles Younggreen as "Frank" played the leading role and was well supported by Ralph Irwin, Earl Petrol, Mary Hutchinson, Faye Chisham, and Mabel Nowlin. Cecil Gorsuch as John, the janitor was especially clever. The student chorus was composed of Don Wheclock, Floyd Fischer, Harold Evans, Eugene Davis, Van A. Scholes, Frank Reid, Henry Campion, and Charles Dolde. Those in the coed chorus were Frances Banker Grace O'Neil, Sara Morrison Leora Kuchera, Josephene Rushmer, Lois Harger, and Mildrec Pettit. The finale by the chorus was especially good. The members of the Farce committee are Faye Chisham, Jeanette Latz Van A. Scholes, and Floyd Fisch
Burdick to Speak at Rosedale.
At 7:30 the grand march was started and was led by Carl Krehbiel, president of the class and Candace Caton. Programs were given out by Clyde Dodge and Helen Morrow, John Clausen and Gladys Clark. Music for the twenty-two dances was furnished by Halls orchestra. Practically the same arrangements as to refreshments as in the Junior Prom were made and there was no confusion in the dining hall as in former years. At 1 o'clock the Prom. closed. Malcolm MeNaughton was manager of the Prom.
Prof. W. L. Burdick of the School of Law went to Rosedale today where he will speak before the University Medical students.
PLAYS TO BE REPEATED
Everyone Can See May Fete Performances.
The plan for the May Day Fete this year is entirely different from that of previous years. Formerly there was always poor seating capacity but this year a special grand stand will be built in front of Fraser hall where the pageant and the crowning of the May Queen and the dancing of her attendants and of the others around the May pole will take place. Each of the four plays will be given four times at the same place so that there will be plenty of opportunity for everybody to see each production by moving from one place to another. The four places on the campus where the plays will be given are in front of Blake hall west of Green hall, west of the Medic building, and the north end of the campus in front of Fraser hall. The four plays to be given are: Robin Hood by the Phi Psis; Pyramus and Thisbe by the Petas; St. George and the Dragon by the Pi Upsilons; and the shepherdess and gypsy dances by the Junior and Senior girls.
Each of the four sororities will have booths decorated in their colors and each will sell some delicacies, so that the spectators will not have to go home for refreshments.
COLLEGE FRIENDSHIPS
More Important Than Books
Thinks Fred Harris.
"Friendships in college," declared Fred M. Harris of Ottawa in his chapel talk yesterday, "are more important than the education which is received from books. There is always a desire among former students to come back and take up life where they left it. But everyone feels a sense of pain and disappointment when visiting his Alma Mater; old faces are gone, old scenes are changed, and even the names carved on the old rocks are no longer to be seen. A homesick feeling comes over one; he feels he doesn't belong in the little world, for his friends are no longer here."

CHANCELLORSTRONG SENDS A REPORT
ANSWERS GOV. STUBBS' INQUIRY ABOUT CLASS ROOMS.
University Has 172 Recitation Rooms That are Used on an Average of 7.2 Hours per Week
Several days ago Governor Stubbell sent a letter to the Chancellor in which he asked for a report as to the actual time that each of the class rooms of the University are used each day. Today Chancellor Strong sent a reply to the Governor in which he fully explains the use to which each room in the several departments is put. Before going into the details of the discussion he calls attention to the fact that in a University such as ours there are necessarily a number of types of buildings. There are those that are given over to class work in recitations, lectures, laboratories and machine shops. The library, the Museum, the gymnasium, and those buildings that have to do with the physical maintenance of the institution and the offices are each a distinct part of the University and yet cannot be classed as recitation rooms. The Chancellor points out that the University is hampered for want of adequate administrative rooms but expresses the hope that the new Administration building will remedy the difficulty.
The fact that all of the rooms cannot be used at one time is pointed out. "In a complex institution whose work differs in character involving recitation lectures, laboratory and machine shop work, the conflict between recitation hours makes it impossible that all of the rooms should be used all the time. The elective system and the course of study which involves an option on the part of the student also have bearing upon this matter. Too high an average may, therefore, indicate lack of pedagogical efficiency rather than desirable conditions."
That there can be no clear analogy drawn between the University and things in the business and professional world is shown by the fact that an institution such as we have necessarily is much more complex, involving as it does the teaching of students.
The Chancellor's letter then makes a detailed statement as to the actual number of hours that each room is used in each of the departments. The letter states that there are 172 rooms used for instruction not including the gymnasium, the museum of natural history, the shops and other rooms. The report states that the average number of hours per day per room for five days in the week is 7.2.
Beatty in Collier's.
Jerome Beatty a former student of the University and now the campaign manager for the organization of the New Jersey Republicans, has an article in the last number of Collier's on "The Rescue of New Hampshire and the Rise of a new Figure in our Public Life." It deals with the life of Governor Bass of that state.
WILL ELECT MONDAY
Committee Expect Heavy Vote Will be Polled.
Every girl in the University is eligible to vote for officers for for the Women's Student Government association next Monday. Election will be held from nine o'clock a.m. until five o'clock p.m. The booths will be in the basement of Fraser hall in the rest room. Students from the School of Fine Arts will vote at Fraser also.
Despite the fact that there is but one candidate for president, two candidates have announced themselves for each of the other offices and it is expected by the committee on elections that there will be a heavy vote polled. The members of the association would like to have every girl vote so that an expression of opinion may be obtained from all the girls of the University.
The following candidates have handed in petitions to the committee on elections. President: Beulah Murphy; vice-president (from the College), Glendale Griffiths, Mae Rossman; vice-president (from the School of Fine Arts), Mary Palmer, Laura Pendleton; secretary, Frances Banker, Ruth Van Doren; treasurer, Frederika Hodder, Bess Boell.
GIRLS SHOULD PAY DUES
W. S. G. A. Will Offer Two $100 Prizes.
The Woman's Student Government association expects to offer two scholarship prizes this year of one hundred dollars each to two deserving freshman girls for use during their sophomore year. Last year three scholarships were given of one hundred dollars each. Most of this amount came from the proceeds of the play "Alice in Wonderland," given last May. However, this year, due to the Y. W. C. A. having charge of the May day fete, there is no way to raise the balance of sixty five dollars needed for the two scholarships unless the girls pay their dues of twenty five cents each to the Woman's Government association. This fund can be paid to any of the twelve district chairmen or to any member of the council and should be paid by May 12. Those on the committee who have the awarding of the scholarships are: Miss Gallo, Dr. Hyde, and Miss Lynn
Spoke to Women.
Dr. Edna Day of the department of Home Economics went to Independence Thursday.

ARE STATE UNIVERSITIES POLITICAL OPPORTUNITIES?
The World Today: State Universities have of late been passing through a sort of second probation. We had thought them free from danger from the politicians of the partisan sort, but the newer generation of legislators seems in need of learning the same lesson taught their predecessors of a dozen years ago.
In one state all the institutions of higher learning—and they are noble institutions—have been placed in the hands of a small committee, whose chairman is a small politician and officeholder who had to be cared for. The committee discharged one president and voted that another retire on a Carnegie pension! In two other states magnificent universities have got entangled in the struggles between "insurgents" and "standpatters." And in a third, but very new, state, the entire faculty of the university from experience knows that it is liable to preemptory discharge by any new legislature which can not bring peace to its constituents by founding new normal schools in embryo cities.
The universities themselves must not make the mistake of mingling in party struggles in the hope of getting greater advantages. Every advantage gained by political alignment is a fatal gift. Party leaders, thought by university lobbyists to look upon educational institutions as wielders of political influence, will be quick to make teachers and institutions pawns in a political game. It is better for state universities to suffer the buffers of sporadic and partisan economy than to get appropriations through making themselves political issues.
A university without absolute freedom of teaching is a whited sepulchre. A university whose teaching is always liable to investigation by committees seeking
to make political capital by correction or discharge of alleged offenders, is a school of political hypocrisy. A state university where men may pursue truth, and may teach what they regard as truth, without fear of legislator of popular clamor, is the only sort of university worthy of democracy. And such a state institution is possible only where both citizens and university authorities regarde the university as utterly and finally outside of political futures of governor and legislators, to be judged only by its loyalty to the ends for which it exists.
The question might be asked, What are the Seniors doing about their reunion in 1916? There are only a few weeks of school left in which definite plans for a return can be made. The movement that had such an auspicious beginning ought not be allowed to lapse because of a lack of energy among its proposers. Arrangements ought to be made for another smoker and for a meeting with the girls. The plan for the reunion in 1916 ought to receive great impetus during the next few weeks.
The address of Fred M. Harris in chapel yesterday morning was a lively example of what a loyal alumnus ought to be. His speech reflected the true sentiments of every one who has had any association with the University with a number of men of the Mr. Harris type spreading their influence over the state in a few years we will have an alumni organization that will be dominant in all University affairs.
The class of 1913 is to be congratulated. The Sophomore Prom last evening was pleasing in every particular and the second year students proved themselves genial hosts. The Faree was exceedingly interesting and clever. There was no attempt to optdo the Juniors and the evening was delightful in its informality.

Reminiscences.
(Excerpt from the University Courier of May 8, 1885).
Boat riding is all the rage.
Get a new girl or distinguish yourself in some way.
The Junior Laws are numbered with the things that were but are not. They wound up business and left for their homes Wednesday.
Alabama University is so crowded that the faculty refuse admission to any more students.
The editorial column of this issue contain a powerful appeal for the installation of a military department on the grounds that the students of the University should have some method of taking regular exercise.
The state legislature just appropriated $59,000 for the University Natural History building and the Courier's part in the campaign is said to have materially aided in obtaining that sum for the University.
The class in railroad field work, under Professor Marvin, have just completed the preliminary survey of Mt. Oread railroad, and are now figuring on the cost of the undertaking. It begins at the north end of the building and leads directly west, so the natural history student can ride out for his specimens in the future, if the plans are successfully carried out.

TO REMIND YOU
A Communication
Gustafson
To the Editor of the Kansan:
I read with great interest Governor Stubbs's recent letter commenting upon the small number of hours per day class rooms are used in American universities. I believe the Governor has hit upon the secret of a great increase in efficiency in our educational system. My only fear is that he will not go far enough.
The Governor presumably would be satisfied if every class room in the University were used eight hours per day, as eight hours is the limit on state work in one day. But the University is confronted with the necessity of handling an increasing number of students without a corresponding increase in the size of the plant. What, now, does an industrial concern do when it has more business than it can turn out in its factory in the ordinary day? Does it forthwith build a new building equipped with new machinery to do the additional work? No, it puts an additional shift of workmen in the old building to use the old machinery a greater number of hours per day, and dividends are greatly increased.
To the Editor of the Kansan:
Why are not the people of the state entitled to the dividends that modern efficiency methods would produce if applied to the educational institutions? Why erect new buildings when the ones we have now are used less than a third of the time? The students and faculty should be divided into two shifts next fall and the buildings used sixteen hours a day. Under the present system the capacity of the University plant is 2,500 students a year. By adding the number of professors necessary to run two shifts the capacity could be raised to 5,000 students with no additional expense for buildings. That would provide for the increased attendance for a number of years to come, and when the enrolment passed the 5,000 mark, simply work the professors and students in three shifts instead of two, and the capacity is increased to 7,500 students. Then and not till then the people of Kansas will be getting the maximum efficiency out of their investment.
Honestly, now. doesn't the plea for new buildings sound rather foolish when it can be shown that by applying modern business methods the present University plant could educate 7,500 students a year? In the practical University of the future every microscope and every blackboard will be used, and every lathe and drill kept turning every hour of the day. The fires under the boilers will never be allowed to die down. The smoke from the stacks will be a pillar of cloud by day and the sparks arising there from a pillar of fire by night to show the people that modern efficiency is on the job every minute of the time.

TWO-THIRDS OF COLLEGE MEN FAIL
DO NOT CHOOSE WISELY SAYS Y. M. SECRETARY
Dissipation and Misapplied Energy Chief Reasons—Work to Be Done Abroad.
"The success of one's life depends on his choice of a vocation and so the college student should give the subject his full consideration and not decide hastily," said A. G. Aldrich of New York City in his talk before the regular meeting of the Y. M. C. A. Thursday evening.
"One third of the college graduates disappear from sight or become only average men; another third waste their lives in dissipation, while only one third ever become men of note or accomplish what all college men should. The reason for so many failures is the fact that the men did not enter a vocation suited to them. If people would only realize the trials and temptations of a student they would not think that college men had a 'soft snap.'
"Assuming that there is a God and secondly that there is a personal God who is interested in each one of us and has some plan for our life, it is our duty to find out what he has outlined for us. After having decided this we can do one of two things, disregard it or accept it. If we disregard the call, other men will have to work over time and this is why it is necessary to have men give their life to the kingdom of God, simply because other men refuse to give any time at all to the work. A man should not call himself a Christian unless he helps to better the condition of the world. Ministers to whom most of us leave this work, are only experts in marshaling the forces to work for God, and should be able to rely on us as part of the army. Many claim to be in the army of workers for the kingdom, but in reality they are not.
"If they enthusiastically be believed in bettering the conditions of the world, they should be willing to go to the foreign missionary fields. Here is the point at which many desert or show the yellow streak that is in them, by settling down for their life work in a section of the United States where there is already enough men with the capability to fill the position, whether it be that of doctor, lawyer, or any of the other vocations. If one wants to do the most good and sell his life as dearly as possible there is no better way than to go to the foreign field. Leaders are few in this country and the rest of the civilized world. One cause for this is that few men take the trouble to think a question through and through and to come to a conclusion by themselves. There would be only 62 doctors in the U. S. if we had the same number in proportion that China has. This shows that the need is still greater in the heathen nations Hence if you desire to become a leader there is no field with less opposition or more opportunity than the missionary field."
After the address by Mr. Aldrich, Perry O. Hanson, the first general secretary of the University Y. M. C. A. told of his work in China where he has been for the past seven years and also of the work of Frank Smith, '02, who went to Japan at the same time. Although Mr. Smith is a cripple he is nevertheless doing
good work. As to his own work Mr.Hanson said that there was great need of more men in his particular district of one hundred miles square since there are only fifteen missionaries there

ASHLAND WON THE DEBATE LAST NIGHT
NEGATIVE SIDE OF IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION WON
Clark County Team Given Banner And Cup—Both Schools Send Rooters.
The Ashland high school debating team defeated the Montgomery county high school team unanimously last night and won the championship of the state in debate. The speakers for Ashland were; Clarence Bare, Cale Carson and Fred Hinkle. Those who supported Montgomery county were; Ray McQuiston, Jerry Shearer, and Henry Shinn. Ashland won on the negative side of the question: "Resolved, That our present immigration laws be amended so as to debar all immigrants over sixteen years of age and unable to read and write; provided that this amendment shall not debar dependants upon qualified immigrants or residents of the United States."
Chancellor Strong acted as chairman of the debate. Ashland presented a very strong argument and received the vote of all three of the judges. Each side showed careful preparation and a good knowledge of the subject. Both teams were supported by a large crowd of rooters from their respective high schools. Before the debate started the chapel was filled with the high school yells and the enthusiasm displayed was like that at a football game.
By winning last night, Ashland secured the large red and blue banner offered by the University for the best high school debaters in the state. The winners also gained the large Regents' loving cup which will be in their possession until they are defeated. In order to own the cup it is necessary to win it twice in succession. Thirty-two high schools tried for the championship and by a process of elimination all were excluded except the two teams which spoke last night.

Fish, assistant professor of education in this University, Miss Lola Brown, botany teacher in the Lawrence high school, Miss Muriel Whitmann, of Lawrence, and Miss Mary Brown, of Kansas City, Mo., are the ones concerned in the venture. They will also be accompanied by Mrs. Alfred Whitmann, of Lawrence. The claims which each of these four young women have taken out are adjacent to each other and are located twenty-five miles south of Pueblo in the Green Horn mountain district. For occupation and just to break the monotony of life in the country they will raise chickens during their sixteen months stay. Houses have been built on the adjoining corners of the four claims. They are frame houses and three of them are sixteen feet square; the fourth is the home of Miss Fish and is eighteen by twelve feet. It will contain a large living room and will be the general lounging place for the entire party.
"We are located two miles from the railroad, the nearest station being Graneros, so all of our provisions will have to be hauled overland," said one of the party when interviewed this afternoon. "Aside from our chicken raising project, we will also have a piano to help us pass away the time. We visited the place where we are to live, once last summer, but none of us has ever lived in Colorado."
Miss Fish will be gone from the University next year on a year leave of absence.

JAYHAWKERS LOST
Catholics Work With Stick Netted Nine Runs.
The fifth inning and nine costly errors caused K. U. to lose the game with St. Marys Thursday afternoon by a score of nine to three. In that inning the Catholics made seven runs before the slaughter was finally stopped. In the first four inning but twelve men faced Farrell and in all the other innings he pitched a steady game. The Jayhawkers tstarted their scoring in their half of the fourth when Walker knocked a two bagger to the left field and came in on Wilhelm's single. In the ninth inning Haller hit for three bases and then stole home.
The score by innings is :

Mrs. Crowe's Recital.
Mrs. Frederick Crowe who will give a piano recital at the Unitarian church to night is an artist of unusual ability and charm. "Musical America" says of her playing before the Federation of Music Clubs in Philadelphia recently: "A significant word should be said concerning the performance of Arne Oldberg's piano sonata by Mrs. Frederick Crowe of Lawrence, Kan. Appearing under conditions very trying in several respects, she nevertheless surmounted them and held the audience throughout by a quiet sincerity of feeling and an elevation of spirit which lent an unusual sense of combined gentleness and authority to her performance." Mrs. Crowe gave a recital last year on the University Course which brought her much enthusiastic praise. The sonata mentioned above is on her program for tonight and the other numbers combine to make a rich treat for music lovers. Admission is 35 cents.

"SISTER YOU'RE WRONG,
PRESENTED MAY 18-19.
Two Musical Numbers by Mat Graham—Juniors Get Passes Next Monday
"Sister You're Wrong," the dramatic production of the senior class, will be given in Fraternal Aid hall on the evenings of May 18 and 19. It is said to be a rolllicking, laughable comedy with a laugh a minute and deals with a young college student who has spent the entire night, and incidentally his money, in a poker game. His sister exercises guardianship over him and when he returns at 7 o'clock in the morning in order to spare her feelings and save himself he tells a white lie. The complications that result from this lie form the theme of the play. There will be two musical numbers given which were written by Mat Graham.
The management states that there will be many novel stunts and features introduced, and he also hints that a real, bona fide harem skirt will be worn by a member of the cast. Special scenic effects and costumes will be brought here from Kansas City. Seats will be placed on sale at Woodwards Drug Store at 7 a.m. The seats for the Thursday, May 18, performance will be put on sale Wednesday morning, May 17. Those for Friday evening will be placed on sale Thursday morning, May 18.
Professor Harger Will Speak.
Juniors who have paid their Prom dues will receive a pass for the second performance. Moe Friedman, chairman of the Play committee, will be at the check stand next Monday, May 15, from 9 a.m., to 10:15 a.m., to give out these passes.
Prof. C. M. Harger, director of the department of journalism will deliver the high school commencement addresses at Junction City, Russell, and Waterville. He also will give the Decoration day address at Wakeeney.
Junior Girls Meeting.
An important meeting of the junior girls will be held in the chapel of Fraser hall next Thurs day at noon. All the girls are requested to come.
Quay Barnett Recital
Quay Barnett has issued invitational programs for a song recital Wednesday May 10, 8:15 at the Unitarian church. He will be assisted by Ethelynne Williford.

MANY NEW IMPROVEMENTS
Campus Will Receive $2,500 Worth of Improvements.
The campus will soon present a very busy scene as the Regents at their recent meeting authorized many needed improvements. They will cost about $2, 500 and are expected to be finished by June 30. Following is a list:
New sheet metal roofs to be put on the power plant and the mechanical laboratories.
Double acting doors and a vestibule to be built at the main entrance at the Chemistry building.
The outside woodwork of Fowler shops to receive two coats of paint.
The roofs of Green hall and Spooner library are to be painted.
Special electric lighting will be put over the microscopes in the basement of Snow hall to give better light. Additional wiring and lighting will also be put in at both the Library and Robinson gymnasium.
A line of cement walks will be laid from the main walk running west around the east and south of Marvin hall to the power plant and the main walk may be extended to the west limits of the campus. Moreover a flight of reinforced concrete steps will be built across the road opposite Marvin hall to join the cinder path which leads to the lake. The reinforced concrete construction is necessary to prevent the steps cracking as the road fill is too recent to furnish a solid foundation.
SIGS DEFEAT BETAS.
Before a Large Crowd Sigma Chis Win----18-6.
The Sigma Chi infield took ev anything that came their way "Dick" Ward at short accepted a number of difficult chances without an error. Coolidge held down the third station in varsity style.
The Sigma Chi fraternity defeated the Betas yesterday afternoon on McCook field by the score of 18 to 6. The Sigs jumped into the lead at the start and were never headed. "Bunny" Wilson pitched a strong game for the Sigma Chis and his work was in no small measure responsible for the great victory. Uhrlau went to the mound for the Betas and was batted out of the box in the third inning. Palmer lasted until the seventh when Smith went in.
The game had the largest attendance of any of the Pan-Hellenic games yet played. The next game will be between the Betas and the Phi Psis Wednesday.
ELABORATE PREPARATIONS MADE FOR FETE.
MT. OREAD WILL BE GAY NEXT FRIDAY
Tags Will be Circulated Thurs day—Town Crier Will Appear Friday Morning.
The May Fete for 1911 will really begin when twenty University girls come out on the campus and in the buildings Thursday with tags for sale. Two thousand of the small bits of cardboard have been printed and will be sold for twenty-five cents each. Everybody is expected to buy at least one, and even as many as two or three will look well on any one person. The committee on tag day has worked out a unique tag for this year but will keep the design secret until Thursday morning. Friday morning early the Town Crier will appear in costume and riding on horseback. He will ride over the campus and through the town announcing the events of the afternoon.
Pyramus and Thisbe and their Tragical Interlude will play on the green in front of Blake hall at the same hours as those given for the Robin Hood play.
At two-thirty the Pageant will start from Robinson gymnasium and will appear in the following order: Heralds with trumpets followed by the May Queen and her attendants, musicians, a band of May Pole dancers; characters in the Pyranus and Thisbe play sixteen gypsy dancers, a band of May Pole dancers, characters in the Robin Hood play; Chimney Sweeps with Jack-in-the-Green; Strolling Minstrels, band of May Pole dancers, Hobby Horse, Old Father Christmas Shepherdesses, band of strolling minstrels, band of May Pole dancers, characters in St. George play with their Dragon and the Morris dancers.

KELTZ CLUB FOUNDED
Eighteen Men Form a New Society.
No, it is not a rejuvenation but a reorganization of the German club. For some time there has been considerable speculation as to the form of organization that would come as a result of the demise of the Allenania club. Today it was announced that eighteen men of the club had perfected a society and that henceforth we are to have The Keltz in our midst. The Keltz is purely elective and the usual features of a closed society are observed. Scholarship is especially emphasized. This society is not associated with any organization in any other school and their only aim in starting at this school is to make a society for men that is not a fraternity.
Those who are in the organization are : Herbert Cowan, Spencer Baird, Curtis Patterson, Roscoe Redmond, Leonard Hamner, Chris Curray, Roger Conant, Tom Hennessy, Ansel Crawford, Will Price , Dean Schnacke, Lester English, Don Rankin, Chester Badger, Robert Dinsmoor, Charles Edwards, John Butler, George Zabel.

KEIO BALL PLAYERS TO MEET KANSAS.
In 1000 Keio Defeated Wisconsin
2-1 in a 19 Inning Game—
Used But One Pitcher.
The contract for the base ball game with the Keio University nine has been signed and the men of Nippon will arrive in Lawrence on May 11 and will tangle with the varsity players of Manager Lansdow and Captain Haller. The trip of the Keio University team to this country is a source of great joy to the general public in Japan where they are favorites on account of their indomitable spirit. The longest game ever played in Japan was in 1909 when Keio defeated the University of Wisconsin 2 to 1 in 19 innings. In this game Sugase, Japan's best pitcher, pitched the entire 19 innings striking out 18 men and letting Wisconsin down with 8 hits; he is still a member of the Keio team.
Keio's trip to this country has been earned by perseverance, study, much hard work, and practice on the field. Whenever opportunity afforded they have had teams from the United States visit them, that they might study and learn our great national game. The University teams that have been to Japan are: The Universities of Washington, Wisconsin, and Chicago. The Reach All Americans were there in 1908. Keio has also played the crack teams of our navy upon their visit to Japan.
Their team work on account of their great throwing is of the best. This may be hindered somewhat in their first few games in the United States by the "rooting and noise" of an American ball game. In Japan in a crowd of 10,000 people scarcely a word will be heard throughout the entire game. All the applauding is done with the hands.
Their schedule includes many games with some of the best University and College teams of the country.
The line-up for their team is: Sasaki, ss.; Takahama, f.; Kanki, 3b.; Fukuda, c.; Abe, 2b.; Kameyama, ef.; Murakami, 1b.; Narasaki, rf.; Sugase, p.; Koyama, p; and Fukuda, p.

ARE YOU A QUITTER?
Are all the students at the University quitters? From the chapel platform and from the world outside our University life we hear remarks relative to the position that college spirit should take in our college life. It is assumed that at any institution such as we have there would be no difficulty in arousing students to action when it is in support of one of their athletic teams. The very fact, perhaps, that college spirit is an expected thing seems to make each University student think that he does not need to show spirit, that the other fellow will display enough enthusiasm. It is this shifting of enthusiasm to the other fellow that accounts for the present status of the support that our athletic representatives are given.
The baseball season has been unfortunate. The uncertainty of the eligibility of the players, and later the changing of the schedule have tended to make the season not wholly a success. But under the circumstances, Kansas has played a good game and has a good team. But in no way was it due to the support it received from the student body.
But in track athletics the attitude of the great majority of the student body is deplorable. Kansas has had a success in track within the past two years of which she ought to be proud. The track team this year is the best the University has had in years. The meet at Nebraska last Saturday was lost by a close margin because of several unfortunate circumstances. Coach Hamilton says that we are due to win next Saturday and that, with an even break of luck we will win. The seeming feeling of apathy among the students in regard to the meet next Saturday does not bespeak a very high degree of college spirit.

The interscholastic track meet held last Saturday is one of the best advertisements the University has ever had. Over two hundred athletes from all part of the state were here, and what the University has to offer was given a thorough inspection.

NEBRASKA WON SATURDAY'S MEET
CORNHUSKERS GOT BIG END OF SCORE.
Accidents in Hurdles Marred Chance of Winning—Nebraska's Captain Fast.
An accident that rarely happens to good athletes took the victory from the grasp of the Jayhawkers in the annual dual meet with Nebraska last Saturday at Lincoln by a score of 61 to 48. Both of the Woodbury brothers fell in the 220 yard hurdle race and Tod Woodbury failed to win the second place in the high jump. These points would have given the meet to Kansas despite the fact that Nebraska took the relay in the last stretch of the race.
The Nebraska men proved themselves stronger in the short dashes while Hamilton's men won the places in the long runs. The score was even when the call for the low hurdles was made and either team had an excellent chance to win the meet. H. Woodbury was set back a yard for "jumping" the gun. Opinion varies as to whether Woodbury jumped the gun or not, but even assuming that he did, the referee had no right according to the rules of the track and field meets to set any one of the men back of the starting line after the gun was fired for the start. The men should have all started equally again.
The yard difference in the stride of H. Woodbury was sufficient to cause him to miss the second hurdle and his fall to the ground put him entirely out of the race.
Although Kansas was defeated in the final race of the meet the result of the relay was closer than any other mile relay race that the University team has ever run, His team mates were able to give Black a lead of ten yards over the fast quarter miler of Nebraska, Reed, and at the finish only one foot won the event for the Cornhusker team. Black was passed several yards before the finish line but electrified the crowd by starting in after his opponent and for the last twenty feet of the race, the two men ran neck and neck Black giving out on the last two or three strides.
The summary is:
Half mile run—Anderson, Nebraska,
first; Becker, Nebraska,
second. Time, 2:02 3-5.
Hundred yard dash—May, Nebraska, first; Roberts, Kansas, second. Time 10 1-5.

ADVANCES IN CHEMISTRY
Next Improvement May be Artificial Camphor.
Walter Eastman, a junior in the College and Ellwood D. Rood, a laboratory assistant in Food Analysis, spoke before the Chemical club at its last meeting in the Chemistry building.
On the subject, "Some Recent Advances in Chemistry," Mr. Eastman told of the making of artificial compounds, as indigo, and also reviewed the work of the great German chemist, Fischer.
"Germany," according to the speaker, "has the most noted experimenters in organic chemistry. In the last few years the making of indigo by artificial methods has become extensive in that country. A large corporation controls the output and is rapidly causing the culture of the natural product to cease, so that only one sixth of the amount of the natural indigo formerly produced is raised. This same corporation is trying to make artificial camphor and if successful might possibly also drive that industry out of existence."
Mr. Rood spoke on "Kansas and its Food Laws." "Kansas," he said, "passed their first pure food law in 1901, six years ahead of the United States government first law. There was no means of enforcing the act as no arrangements had been made for the analyzing of the confiscated food. In 1905, the law was changed so that the University and the Agricultural College could analyze the samples. The penalty for retailers was fixed at fifty dollars or one year imprisonment or both. For wholesalers, who violate the law the fine is three hundred dollars or a year in prison."
Miss Agnes Anderson, a fellow in Chemistry will speak at the next meeting. Her subject will be, "The Compressed Yeast Controversy."

In place of the final examinations, the senate provides that each instructor may give such tests as he may see fit after consultation with the head of his department. These tests are to occupy only the regular hour allotted to the class, examination weeks being made a thing of the past.
Final examinations at Nebraska University were abolished by vote of the university senate Saturday morning. The senate, comprising all full professors of the faculty, has full authority in the matter, and beginning with September, 1911, "finals" will be a thing of the past.
In taking this radical action, the professors deemed it advisable in order to insure a better standard of regular class work, less "cramming" at the end of the semester, and a system of grading which would show more accurately the actual knowledge of the student rather than his ability to jam facts into his head in preparation for a single ordeal of questions.

N. U. ABOLISHES FINALS
Our Northern Neighbor Believes Them Ineffective.
The new tests at the semester's close will be on a par with the mid-semester tests which already occupy a place in the University organization. They will be informally conducted by the various instructors at the last regular meeting of the class.

In connection with the new rule as to examinations the senate provided that the regular class work continue until 6 p.m. of the second day prior to commencement instead of stopping for examinations ten days prior to that date. Seniors will be graded two weeks prior to this period, but unexcused absences during the last two weeks will be sufficient cause for a withholding of their degrees.
Limeades, nice and fresh at Soxman & Co.
The senate's action culminates a feeling which has been growing in the faculty against basing great dependence on final examinations as tests of students' ability. It has been a faculty rule that every student must submit to such a test, but some professors have always avoided the regulation by one method or another. Now these professors are in the ascendency and the senate's action resulted.
The senate expressed its disapproval of indiscriminate holidays by voting that all recesses should be scheduled before the beginning of each semester. Holidays on short notice were placed under taboo save when they should be authorized by the chancellor and the convocation committee. Such authorization according to the expressed view of the professors, should be made only under conditions of emergency.

Better Showing Against Topeka Than in Previous Tournament
The Oread Golf -club was defeated last Saturday on the University golf links by the Topeka Country Club. There were thirteen pairings in the match. The University men won five of the matches, which is a better showing than they made at Topeka a few weeks ago. The Topeka team was picked from a club whose membership is 200, while the Oread team was composed of the only members of the local club who make a pretense at playing the game.
The following Oread men wor their matches: L. W. Kinnear defeated A. Fassler, 2 up; H. T, Jones won over H. S. Morgan, 3 up; J. D. Newton over Guilford Dudley 3 up; and O. Barteldes over David Bowie, 2 up.

A camp fire meeting in Marvin grove will take the place of the regular Thursday evening Y. M. C. A. meeting at 6:45. C. W. Whitehair, of Topeka, will be present and speak about the Fourth annual Rocky mountain summer conference of student Y. M. C. A.'s which will be held at Estes Park, Colorado, this summer from June 9 to 18. Estes Park is a 400 acre tract of land 100 miles north of Denver and is located in the Rocky mountains.
It is the annual encampment place of student Y. M. C. A.'s and several men will go from Kansas University this year. The journey is made in special cars from each state and includes a thirty mile trip overland in autos. At the grounds the ten days are taken up with talks in the morning and evening by prominent speakers, and the afternoons are given over to athletics. Sometimes during the encampment each state represented, gives a stunt night.
The men who have so far definitely decided to go from the University of Kansas are, D. C. Martindell, Geo. O. Foster, Ray Soper, Milton Minor, Verne Long, Herbert Ford, Ward Maris, E. E. Stevens, H.C. Herman, Payne and Dr. Wilber. A good many others are thinking of making the trip but have not decided for sure as yet.

ATHLETICS PLANNED FOR STUDENTS' DAY
ENGINEERS AND LAWS WILL PLAY BALL.
Speeches Will be Delivered in Morning—Half Holiday Grant- ed by the Chancellor.
The custom among the students of the University that was started three years ago when a half holiday was declared and the time given over to the activities of the students, will be re-established this year when the day will be given over to the activities of the men and women from the various departments of the University. In chapel Friday morning May 19, the speakers of the morning will be representatives of the six schools and in the afternoon the athletic events between the departments and the schools will be pulled-off on MeCook field.
The men of the University who are doing newspaper work challenged the medies this morning to a clinic to be held on McCook field in which both parties would perform an operation upon the American game of baseball and the loser it is agreed, shall stand the expense of the anestheties used by the spectators. The men of the School of Law will probably issue a challenge to the Engineers for a dual track meet to be held the same day on McCook field.
The line up for the baseball game between the Engineers and Laws has not yet been made out but that the game will be interesting from start to finish is assured by the amount of varsity material in the two schools.
NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS

TAG YOU'RE IT.
Theates to Hold Mothers Day.
The Thetas will give their annual Mothers day Friday May 19.
Seventeen Hundred Tags Sold by Noon Today.
Tag, you're it. Produce your quarter and don the yellow cardboard. Girls with tags for sale are everywhere today—on the campus, in the library, in the class rooms—and every fellow is popular. But who can resist such smiling pleas?
The tags went on. Ile early this morning, and by chapel time the majority of the male students had one. Of course some put up the plea of "broke" but most of them did their duty. And the girls—well the girls didn't "have any money with them," but they will all get their tags latter. Two thousand of the tags have been printed this year and all must be sold in order to pay the expenses connected with the May Fete. The tag itself is a triangular bit of yellow cardboard with a jester head printed in red. Under the jester is this couplet:
*If you'll play tag with me today.*
I'll play with you on the 12th of May."
One of the amusing events connected with the tag sale was the "march of the women on the Law building." They marched into the junior class while it was still in session and successfully tagged each man. Urged on by this victory the army advanced on the senior class room. But the graduating class saw them coming and escaped through the window. The girls gave chase and a regulation game of tag followed which spread to all parts of the campus. By noon today seventeen hundred tags had been sold.
ELECTRIC'S BANQUET
Forty Engineers Listen to Toasts in Myers Hall.
The third annual banquet of the Kansas University branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers was held at Myers hall last evening at eight o'clock.

"DON'T LOSE HOPE," SAYS HAMILTON
K. U. COACH BELIEVES KANSAS WILL WIN
Twenty One Athletes Entered in Meet—New Combination For Relay Race.
The last varsity track meet on McCook field this spring will be held when the crack Tiger squad of Coach Brewer trots out on the field next Saturday and the annual out-door clash between the Jayhawkers and the men from Missouri begins. The dope on some of the events of the meet is certain to be unset.
Since the defeat of the Drake University team by the Tigers and the defeat of the local squad at the hands of the Cornhuskers last week the Kansas camp has been pessimistic in regard to Saturday's results.
However Coach Hamilton said yesterday afternoon, "I have some surprises to spring Saturday that I am keeping quiet and although I have entered twenty-one men in the meet, it is by no means decided what men will start in the events. H. Woodbury who was disabled in the Nebraska meet is rounding into shape and even if he cannot start in the high hurdles we will not be at a great disadvantage since Clem Parker is going over the high sticks in form that looks like a good second. Parker has been going the full eleven feet on the pole vault regularly this week and I expect the men to take the first and second places in that event. Wilson has jumped in his form of last year all this week and I expect him to make a good showing in his event. French has been 'taking off' during the past week in the same form that he did last year when he made the record and I think that he can go the full height to beat Nicholson."
K
K
"TOD" WOODBURY.
Heredetofore the relay has been almost conceded to Missouri and Bermond but for this last chance to beat the Tiger machine, Coach Hamilton has a new combination worked out that he promises will break the tape first.
The men who have been entered in the meet are Hamilton, Roberts, D. Davis, E. Davis, Schwab, Black, Gribble, Fairchild, G. Smith, Patterson, Kraus, McMillan, Watson, Osborne, Murray, Fisher, H. Woodbury, C Woodbury, Parker, French, Wilson and Ammons.
MACHINERY DELAYED.
Potter's Lake May Not be Filled This Spring.
The machinery for the pumping station for Potter lake, which has been ordered for a couple of months should have arrived at the University some time ago, but has not appeared and according to present indications will not appear until after the school year.
E. F. Crocker said today. "The outfit for the new pumping station should have been here some time ago and I do not know when it will arrive. We may fill the lake anyway, and we may not."
The superintendent of grounds and buildings can see no advantage in having the water in the lake unless the pump is there to force the water to the University buildings. The purpose of the lake is to afford an adequate water supply in case a fire should break out on the hill.
A number of student "ducks" however are anxious for the depression in the golf links to be filled with the 4 million gallons of cool and refreshing water oil which it has the capacity. The lake is said to cover an area of two acres and when it is filled with water should make an ideal place to hold all kinds of water sports. None of the swimmers have spoken to Mr. Crocker yet and it is not likely that he will turn the city water in until the plan is suggested to him. A regatta is being planned at present by Dr. Naismith, to be held during commencement week on the lake.
TUESDAY'S RECITALS
Misses Chloe Cory and Hazel Browning, seniors in the School of Fine Arts gave their graduating recital on Tuesday evening before a large audience of city and college people. There was not a weak place in the program, since every number pleased the audience. Miss Cory in "The Legend Beautiful" was at her best with Miss Weidemann as accompanist. Her last piece was the rendering of a monologue entitled "The Last Ride Together," in which she gave a portrayal of a very talkative young wo man.
Chloe Cory and Hazel Browning Gave Good Performance.
Miss Browning showed a wonderful mastery of the better writers. Her recital of Rudyard Kipling's "Recessional," Shakespeares "Hamlet" scene, and Dunbar's "Watchin' the Sparkin'" indicated her adaptability for such work. The interest of the audience was kept at its height during the whole recital.

To Have Chapter House
THE ORIENTALS PLAYING TODAY
SIXTEEN JAPS MAKE TOUR ACROSS UNITED STATES
Play 40 Games With Colleges in This Country—Japan is Baseball Crazy.
If Kansas wins from Keio University this afternoon the best baseball team in Japan will have been defeated. According to D. S. Knight manager of the sixteen Orientals who are making the trip, Japan is baseball crazy and the sending of the team from Keio University for a tour across the United States is an expression of the great favor in which our national game is held in the east, Keio University has three thousand students and from this number J. Shaefer, formerly of the New York Giants, and G. T. Thompson, now with Baltimore have succeeded in picking a team that are classy in everything pertaining to baseball. The fact that these two exponents of the national game have been called from this country to spend an entire winter in coaching the Keio University team, testifies to the way the game has swept the country.
The sixteen Japs—and by the way only two of them speak English—landed in San Francisco from Japan on May 5 and since that time have played the University of California, the University of Denver, Salida, Colorado, Springfield Utah, and St. Marys, the latter game being the only game they have lost. Their itinerary calls for forty games in the United States most of them with college teams. The Universities of Wisconsin Michigan, Georgetown, West Virginia will be played. At Washington, D.C. the Japanese embassy has planned for a series of entertainments. On the trip home which will start about August 1 a series of ten games will be played in Honolulu. The average age of the players is 19 years. They are versatile players and they show no discrimination in the position they play. Kanki is captain and plays everywhere. Sugasi is their best pitcher. Last week he let Denver down with two hits. Koimama is their heavy hitter. He is a pitcher and has participated in all of the games played and at present has a batting average of .600. Sasaki, their shortstop is considered the most brilliant player in Japan, but was injured yesterday in the game with St. Marys and will not be able to play today.
D. S. Knight took up the management of the team when it reached this country May 5. He was captain of the University of Wisconsin team that made a world tour in 1909. Sugasi the Jap pitcher, held them to a 2 to 1 score in 19 innings. He reports the Japs as amiable players, who are fast, heady, clever and trickey; they are good losers in this country but in Japan a lost game means a fight.
Y. M. C. A. Camp Fire.

NEED OF CLOSER ASSOCIATION
Is the substitution of the May Fete for the old class scraps popular with the student body? Those who are now in school have had no intimate association with the old time fights but there is a general sentiment among the students that we ought to have some school activity that will bring us into closer relationship with each other.
During the entire school year the football rallies are the only possible places at which the entire student body meets on a common ground, and the small attendance at these meetings does not insure a very great degree of intimacy. In the days of class scraps each man came in contact, physically and mentally, with the other members of the College and a feeling of comradeship was engendered that lasted long after the graduation from the University.
The different departments of the University are too segregated. If we are to create a spirit of fraternity among all who come to this institution and if we are to make an alumni organization that will make its influence felt in its fidelity and loyalty to its Alma Mater,we must get the impetus for such a feeling during our school days.
A return to the old days of class scraps with its violence and undue expenditure of energy is probably not desired but the substitution of some form of common school activity is needed. The May Fete has its place in the school but it does not go far enough.
The sane action of the University of Nebraska in doing away with the final examinations is to be commended. The adoption of this rule at the University would meet with popular approval. Final quizzes are a bore both to the student and to the instructor. If they were of any great importance their existence might be justified but as they are con-
dueted now they do not in any way reflect the actual knowledge that the student has. Quizzes conducted at intervals throughout the term would tend toward an equalization of school work that is desirable. Under that system the putting off of work and the relaxation from study would not be so evident as under the present system. If several quizzes were given and all were made of equal importance, a higher quality of school work would be the result. Examinations at the University are now undergoing a change but there is yet a great chance for improvement.
Have you been tagged? Those students with the philosophic eye and the erudite expression were jarred from their intellectual composure today by the invasion of the young ladies and their pasteboards. And these same young ladies did not forget to pin their tags on the rest of the malo contingent. The University furnishes a variety of grafters.

UNIVERSITY CLUB HOUSE.
Prof. H. H. Josselyn Believes We Need One Now.
"The University of Kansas should have a special building where students could get acquainted with each other," said H. W. Josselyn of the School of Education in his chapel talk Tuesday morning. "The alumni should be especially interested in this as the building would give them a special place to stay and to visit their friends when they come back. Of course it can not be expected that the state provide such a place for some time. Hence it is up to the students to start the subscription list, and they should get Governor Sibbs for the first signer. Part of the governor's recent letter of inquiry was in regard to what the faculty were doing outside the class room for the students. As the University is doing practically nothing this would take its place.
"The method has been tried in many of the eastern colleges as Harvard, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Michigan is planning to raise a million dollar fund for the purpose of enlarging their present quarters. The movement would produce University spirit of which there is none now, but only school spirit in the various schools. It is as opportune a time as ever to start the subscription fund and it would make the alumni understand some of the needs of their Alma Mater. As majority of them do not know the needs and do not keep in touch with the student activities as they seldom come back for a visit. If there was this building where they could be made to feel at home they would be likely to return more frequently; and as a result would be more enthusiastic and work for the good of the school in the town where they are living."
The Entomological society will go to Vinland Saturday to spend the day. There are twelve members and with the guests, the party will consist of about twenty people.

BARNETT RECITAL WELL RECEIVED
STORM INTERFERED WITH
PERFORMANCE LAST. NIGHT.
Tenor Will be Graduated This Spring—Was Assisted by Ethelynne Williford
Although the storm broke last evening just as the crowd was gathering, still a large number of friends and admirers were present at the song recital given by William Quay Barnett last evening at the Unitarian church. He was assisted by Miss Ethelynne Williford as pianist. Mr. Barnett was enthusiastically received, and responded to several encores. One of his encores, the Figaro song from the "Barber of Seville" was one of the favorites of the evening. Miss Williford also gave one number on the piano and responded to an encore.
The church was prettily decorated with flowers, and punch was served in the reception room of the church after the recital. Mr. Barnett received many bouquets of flowers.
The singer has a pleasing almost magic tenor voice and he sang at his best last evening. He has been well known in musical and theatrical circles in Lawrence for the past four years. He will take an A. B. degree from the College this year. The following is the program as rendered:

"RUSTY" A PRESS AGENT
"Rusty" Russell, manager of the Jayhawker, has shown that he is a capable press agent. Last week while in Topeka he succeeded in getting both the Topeka Capital and the Topeka Journal interested in the direful things that the Annual was going to say about Governor Stubbs The State Journal carried a column of interview and two of the Jayhawker cartoons. The Kansas City Star also gave publicity to the Annual by publishing a notice from Topeka concerning the approaching lambasting of our executive. All of which will increase the sale of the book when it comes out next week. Next week a page of the "eases" that are to appear will be shown in one of the down town nickels. Each freshman in the University will receive a letter in which the golden opportunity of buying the greatest book ever will be presented to him. But "Rusty" has to do it because he has his money invested in it.

BETAS DEFEAT PHI PSIS
Smith Pitched a Steady Game Yesterday.
In the Pan-Hellenic game yesterday the Betas won from the Phi Psis 3 to 2. The game was the closest yet played in the fraternity league. No scores were made by either team after the third inning. Smith for the Betas and Delancey for the Phi Psis each pitched a steady game as is shown by the few number of scores made. Toward the latter part of the game Smith got into a number of tight places but succeeded in letting the Phi Psis down without a score. Six hits were made by the Betas against four by the Phi Psis. Errors were largely responsible for the scores made by both teams.

Alpha Taus Beaten by a 14-11 Score.
Tuesday afternoon on McCook field the Sig Alphs defeated the Alpha Taus by the score of 14 to 11. The winners gleaned fifteen hits as opposed to six made by the losing team. The play throughout the game was characterized by the ability of both teams to connect with the ball and the number of errors by each side. The Sig Alphs used two pitchers and two catchers. The pitchers were Hamilton and Riley for the Sig Alphs and Minor for the Alpha Taus. The catchers were Rambo and Davis, and Reid.

It will be on sale at the book stores and by members of the club. The proceeds of the sale of the book will be used to provide prizes for poetry written by University students hereafter.
The book opens with Harry Kemp's, "To God the Architect," which concludes with the lines: "Thou dost put an upward reach to the heart of man."

"The material for "The Sailor's Chance" was obtained by the ane. when he was a cabin boy on the South Atlantic and a sailor was blown off the mast into the sea.
The poems of Willard Wattles are mostly on religious subjects and are taken from scenes in the Bible. One deals with Jesus at Golgotha and another is entitled "Ere Joseph Came to Build."
Gale Gossett has a poem entitled "Awakening From Song" which is a psychological description of her emotions at the ceasing of music.
The poems of Adella Pepper are taken from nature and from her life and friendships. She has contributed the only German selection in the book, "Die Unmoeglichkeit."
John Shea in his poem entitled "Saviors" ends with the thought, "Who lifts me to my higher self, He saves me from the dead."

The Phi Alpha Delt legal fraternity was given the decision in the trial which was held on MeCook field this morning with the Phi Delta Phis. The vote which was handed in by B. L. Chomn the foreman of the jury stood 12 to 11 in favor of the Phi Alpha Delt side of the case. "Bunny" Wilson presided in the center of the diamond in the official position of judge of the arguments.
Decision Against Phi Delta Phis 12-11 This Morning.
Deming opened the case in the first for the Phi Delta Phi team. Columbia the gem of the Law school lasted a few minutes. MacAdams then took charge of the case in the fourth stage of the proceededs but his offerings were fairly crooked. Power and Thompson were on the receiving line for the same team. The assault and battery for the Phi Alpha Delts was composed of Cayot and Lindsay. Many errors were recorded on both sides but it is not supposed that they are serious enough to require a new trial.
The essays must be borne in by May 20, and are limited to three thousand words, exclusive of citations of authorities. The subject for the assays is: May the state under its police power require an employer conducting a hazardous occupation to compensate, according to a prescribed sale, his employees injured through the employee's ow mneglence.

HUGE CROWDS SEE YESTERDAY'S FETE
EVERYBODY APPARENTLY HAD A GOOD TIME
May Pole Dancers, Queen's Att tendants, Shepherdes, and Gypsies Popular Performers
The vari-colored costumes in the pageant presented a brilliant appearance as the parade over two hundred yards in length, wound in and out between the buildings. The dance of the May Pole dancers, the winding of the May Pole the dance of the May Queen's attendants, and the crowning of the May Queen took place on the campus in front of Fraser hall and from the standpoint of all the spectators was perhaps the most striking of all the afternoon performances.
An ideal day, consistent training, and careful planning combined to make the May Fete, held yesterday on the campus, one of the notable events of University life. From the start of the pageant from the gymnasium at 2:30 o'clock, until the last dance at nearly six, everything was good and pleased the immense crowd which had gathered tosee the spectacle.
Immediately after the winding of the May Pole the May Queen, Miss Agnes Husband went to the platform which had been prepared for the dancers west of Green hall where dances were given by the May Queen's attendants the shepherdesses, and the gypsies. All these dances showed the results of many rehearsals and never failed to draw applause from the crowds.
The three plays, "St George and the Dragon," "Pyramus and Thisbe" and "Robin Hood," were given four times at the same hours, on different parts of the campus. After the last performance in the regular place they gave the plays a fifth time so that the characters in each play might see the others perform.
The refreshment booths which were kept by the four sororites were besieged with hungry and thirsty individuals all the afternoon and all of them had to replenish different parts of their stock several times.
The Kappas took in $34 the Thetas $51; the Chi Omegas, $55.75; and the Pi Phis $56. The sale from the tags amounted to about $478.35 a smear as can be determined from what has already been handed into Miss Nadia Thomas. Some of the girls who were selling the tags howevr have not yet reported to the managers. Last night Miss Thomas deposited $660 in the bank which represented part of the proceeds from the sale of tags and part of the money taken in at the booths. The money will be used to meet the budged of the Y. W. C. A. for the present year.
Phi Psi Mother's Day.
The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity gave its annual Mother's day today. The following mothers of the members of the fraternity were present: Mrs. Pettit, Mrs. Spotts, Mrs. Park, Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Spalding, Mrs. Dolde, Mrs. Tholen, Mrs. Wheelock, Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Cannon, Mrs. Nigh and Mrs. Musselman.
A REGATTA THIS YEAR?
No One Has Taken The Initiative Yet.
Owing to the fact that a*chairman for the annual spring regatta has not been appointed by the student council, the arrangements that have been made for the frolic upon the waters of the Kaw are nil at present. The athletic management has expressed their willingness to expend ten dollars for the regatta this year, but no one has taken the initiative in starting the arrangement of the plans.
Arch MacKinnon said this morning, "There will be a meeting of the old and new members of the student council in which the situation will be discussed by all the men and I think that this subject will be considered."
During the past two years the regatta has been held by the students of the University unsupported by the athletic management and it has always proved to be a drawing card.
K. U. BEATS THE JAPS.
Orientals Dropped Game Thursday 10-8.
The Kansas ball team defeated the Keio University team on McCook field Thursday afternoon by the score of 10 to 8. The attendance at the game between Kansas and Japan was the largest this season. It is estimated that 800 witnessed the game.
Sugase, the Japs' star pitcher, left the rubber in the fourth inning on account of his ankle, which was sprained in the game with St. Marys. Sugo replaced him. The Japs' play was at first fistless, but improved toward the latter part of the game and the students were treated to some up-to-date Oriental rooting. Although the Keio men were all small, they showed wonderful speed on the bases.
The Kansas battery was Locke and Smith.
Six Seniors Chosen in Second Honorary Election.
PHI BETA KAPPA ELECTED
Sis Seniors were elected to membership in the Phi Beta Kappa honorary society at a meeting o the council Thursday evening. They are: Carrie Dolbee, Letha Edmonds, Herbert Hungerford, and Helen Philips of Lawrence; Irwin Humphrey, of Russell, and Louis Rufener of Abilene.

Briggs. It is expected that the team will make a good showing as this is one of the matches for the championship of the state. A return match will probably be played here later in the month.

FOR A JUNIOR'S DAY
There has been considerable discussion this week as to the possibility of making a day for juniors during Commencement week. Several of the third year men are already commencing to feel the auspiciousness of their graduation and have expressed a desire to have a concerted movement among the juniors so that the class would make arrangements to stay over for Commencement and see how it is done.
Rumor has it that in the years past those who have completed their College course and were candidates for degrees showed a remarkable degree of verdaney regarding their graduation. In order to forestall any possible blunders next year the men are going to organize this year and start to get in training for the the ordeal.
The plan is to have a Junior Day at Commencement. A track meet between the men who are not on the varsity team has been proposed. Ball games between the several schools and various vaudeville stunts by those dramatically inclined have all been considered. The general idea seems to be to have a day full of harmless fun, sport, and amusement to keep the Juniors here for the Commencement exercises.
The idea is a good one. There is too much hurry among the student body to get away from school as soon as the regular work is completed. If a large number of the Juniors can be induced to remain for the exercises it will not be many years until Commencement week will be the one big week of the year. This idea is in line with the recent movement of the Seniors for a reunion in 1916. Both of these ideas thoroughly worked out will tend to make class reunions a general thing rather than an exception. The movement for Junior Day ought to be given some thought.
The May Fete will always be one of the big gala days at the University. The success of the May Fete yesterday proves that it will be an intrinsic part of school life and that its permanence is assured. Too much praise cannot be given to those who were responsible for the success of the day. The pageant was a truly wonderful creation and the evident pains with which the performers put on each play was
delightful. The crowd was large and appreciative and from early in the afternoon until almost dark there was something doing all of the time. The whole affair was well managed and showed excellent training. To all who were concerned sincere congratulations are due.
The spirit of fight in any University means much for its progress. D. S. Knight, manager of the Keio University baseball team, says that when two Universities play in Japan the feeling runs so high that there is apt to be a fight, and that this encounter is by no means a friendly combat. Knives, pistols, and swords are the instruments which the Orientals use in disputing the prowess of their athletic representatives. When a student is willing to fight for his University, there is not much danger that when its life is threatened they will be found wanting in loyalty. But probably they don't have to struggle with legislators and appropriations in Japan.
Today Kansas is meeting her old rivals the Tigers in track. Missouri is touted as having the strongest team in years and the University has a bunch of track men who are not at all slow. The meet today should be extremely close and some fast time is sure to be made. And above all things if by any chance we are beaten don't go around over the campus with the I-told-you-so expression on your face. The students of the University are not bad losers but they fail to support some of their athletic teams in a way that is no credit to the institution.
Students' Day comes next Friday. On that day all of the grievances of the student body toward faculty administration, and University affairs in general may be voiced. Students' Day is an innovation that is worth a trial. A more complete understanding between faculty and students is desired, and although they meet on a more common basis in this school than in many of our Universities, no harm can come from a closer association.
No, the headline "The Day of the Big Wind" referred to the weather and not to the approaching Students' Day.
Speaking of the attempt to kidnap a young woman student at the University of Kansas Dick Madison says: "We have a very poor opinion of any man who, after having seen the girl students of that institution, would attempt to steal less than an entire class."

STUDENTS' DOWNTOWN HEADQUARTERS
(Dedicated by the author with due respect to those gentlemen who plead existing economic conditions as an excuse for their own nastiness. If you don't like it there is a reason.)
I sing the dirge of a Painted Thing,
Lone in a shallow grave she lies,
For none be there that dirge to sing
As none there were to close her eyes
When she stared all night from he
At the jostling shadows overhead.
All night she lay with her vacant
When she  starred all night from her dirty bed
One lower who fondled with iey breath
Lurked at her lips and hid in her hair,
One lover true whose name was
Death;
And would ye know what shadows
whirled
For well he knew what her life had been
In mocking mazes overhead?
And he healed with his kiss her scarlet sin
And some there were in that phantom ring.
All the glittery ghosts of the gay old girl
Grunned and gibbered with mining
treated *
And impudent whisper, the whole long night.
With smug-set countenance they came in silken garments with rustling.
Where that stiff cold face was the only light.
For the great world spoke them fair of fame.
A-glitter with glories of gold and gem They brushed her face with their garment hem.
And others there were, and they the most.
Bearded mankins who wheeled and
So this is the drearisome dirge I sing
Its starving soul on a heart of clay.
Then the dancers  jeered till it sobbed away
lung With leering simper, a leprous host,
And some were old but more were
young;
They tried to warm with their burning breath.
The Painted Thing and her lover, Death.
Through dizzy spirals the dancers swept
With mirtless laughter upon the wind.
But once a timid changeling crept
To the cold white breast of her who
To the cold white breast of her who sinned.
- * * * * *
By the shallow grave of the Painted Thien
But where the dancers at daylight fled I never heard it sung or said; But this I know: when morning broke.
I never heard it sung or whispered.
But this I know; when morning broke,
Full many a troubled dreamer woke;
And the lilt of that maddening music
speed
For all that day through many a head;
And many there were in the throngs of men.
Who feared to sleep and dream again.

PHYSICAL DEFECTS FOUND IN STUDENTS
DR. NAISMITH PREPARES
FORMIDABLE STATISTICS
Would Install Physical Examination in High Schools—Average Height 68 Inches.
Physical examinations of all the students that have entered the department of the College of the University during the last ten years have been conducted and the record has been kept in the filing case of the office at Robinson gymnasium. Dr. James Naismith has recently drawn up a chart of the physical condition of the men who have entered the College of the University this year and sent a copy of this chart to Governor Stubbs. The object of the construction of the chart is to aid in the organization of plans for installing a system of physical examination of the boys in the high schools.
"The condition in which some of the men come to the University from the high schools of the state is deplorable and a system of examinations in the secondary schools would be of material good in helping the students before they come to the University," said Dr. Naismith in speaking of the project.
The following is the chart that has been drawn up after the examination of 300 students that have entered the University this year: Per Cent of Students
Skin eruptions ... 5
Curved spine ... 16
Inequality of the shoulders ... 15
Hernias ... 7
Abnormalities of the arms ... 4
Abnormalities ... 13
Heart defects ... 4
Lung defects ... 3
Defects of the nose ... 7
Enlarged tonsils ... 6
Nervous conditions ... 8
Eye trouble ... 15
Defects of the hearing ... 5
The average height of the men in the University that have been examined in the gymnasium is 68 inches; the shortest man in the University measures 60 and 5-10 inches, and the tallest man towers 75 and 6-10 inches.

REGULATE FRESHMEN
Fraternities to Restrain Ambiti
ous Pledges Next Year.
Next year the dramatic organizations in this University will put on their productions without the services of next year's freshmen who are members of the eighth national frabers of the eighth national fraternities.
At the last meeting of the Pan-Hellenic council, the governing body of the fraternities, a motion was moved and carried unanimously to restrict the freshmen next year from taking any part in a play. This year the Greek letter first year men took leading parts in each of the plays given by the three dramatic clubs. In the Masque play there were eight male parts. Five of these were taken by freshmen who are members of fraternities.
The Pan-Hellenic council believes that, by taking the freshmen out of dramatics, more time will be given to study. A plan was discussed and considered favorably in Pan-Hellenic to require all freshmen to complete successfully 75 per cent of the first terms work before they are eligible to be initiated into a fraternity. When this has been acted upon by each of the organizations it will be passed in the council and made a rule to go in to effect next fall.
It was decided that no fraternity shall tamper with another's pledge. If one frat lifts the pledge of another, it is necessary to notify each of the other seven

This Tale of Lads, Ladders and Lassies Proves It.
ROMANCE IS NOT PASSING
In the spring Nature dons fresh new garments and the energetic landlady to prove herself Nature's equal had a fresh new coat of paint put on her house on Ohio street last Saturday. By night the painters had reached the front door and the girl boarders were forced to meet their company at the back door in the evening.
Limeades, nice and fresh at Soxman & Co.
As 10:30 drew nigh the maidens returned slowly; all except two who boldly defied the 10:30 rule and did not reach the house until midnight. But before the porch they halted, aghast. They dared not cross it and they dared not, oh they dared not, confront their landlady at twelve o'clock. "Because," confided one to her swain, "the way she looks at you, when you come in after 10:30 is simply the limit." Before that coat of paint they stood helpless. Should they try the parlor window? "It's painted too," wailed one. "I guess we can't get in tonight."
But just then aid appeared in the form of a stage-whisper from aloft. "Come'round to the side of the house and crawl up the painter's ladder." The girls protested; but fear of the landlady cut off all other ways of entrance. The young men were growing sleepy and warmly seconded the suggestion from above. Finally with many shudders and mild urging the two freshmen slowly mounted the ladder and crawled through the window.
"It was heaps of fun," said one of them, "and awfully romantic, but honestly wasn't it the limit?"

Y. M. SECRETARY SHOWS AD VANTAGES TO BE GAINED
Trip Cheaper This Year Than Ever Before—Registrar Foster Tells Why he's Interested
The meeting of the Y. M. C. A.
Thursday evening was held around a camp fire in Marvin Grove. Charles Whitechair state secretary of the associations told about the summer camp at Estes Park, Colorado to which the men were urged to go.
"Estes Park," said Mr. Whitehair, "is where the annual conference of the Young Men's Christian associations of Kansas and Colorado is held for ten days each year. This year it will be from June 9 to June 18. The park is seventy miles north from Denver by rail and then by automobile thirty miles to the camp. The object of the conference is to give the fellows an opportunity to become acquainted with the noted men who are spending their lives in association work and thus strengthen them for their life work.
"The round trip from Denver to the camp will cost five dollars which is four dollars less than the best rate previously made. The railroad companies are making no reduction but the business men of the two states are the ones who will pay the difference. The trip from here will cost forty dollars including carfare.
"Many men have gone who have had to borrow at least half of the sum. Not one of them have regretted it, but on the other hand are only too glad to have been asked. The main object of the conference is for the men to get a better view of life and to make them feel it to be their duty to help others."
There are already several students who are planning to go and also one of the members of the faculty, Registrar George O. Foster. He gave the three reasons why he is going to the camp. The main reason is for soul growth so that when he comes back he will the better able to help the students who come to him for information along other lines than concerning their studies. The other reasons are so that he can understand the work better and also see the country since he will stay two weeks after the conference.
Harry Heinzman, '06, the state high school secretary, told of the speakers he has seen at different times in Egtes Park, and also Lake Geneva where the associations of Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin meet.
HOW TO MAKE YEAST
Starch Serves as Preservative but is Expensive.
"The Compressed Yeast Controversy," was the subject on which Miss Anderson, a fellow in Chemistry, spoke at the meeting of the Chemical club Wednesday afternoon.
"The controversy," said Miss Anderson, "is concerning the use of starch in compressed yeast. It has been carried on by the eastern manufacturers for the past twelve years. As compressed yeast is moist it can only be kept for a short time, not more than eight days. If starch is added as a preservative the yeast can be kept longer. This is what some of the larger companies are doing, although it is a more expensive method. The companies who do not use the preservative claim it to be an adulteration. Consequently the Board of Food and Drug inspection took up the matter and after listening to the evidence on both sides decided that the practice was permissable if the addition of the starch was stated on the label.

SECOND PIANO RECITAL
Miss Ford's Performance Was Well Attended.
The graduating piano recital given in Fraser hall Thursday evening by Miss Creola Ford was well attended. A feature of Miss Ford's playing was a remarkably beautiful touch which drew from the piano varieties of tone color rarely achieved by so young a player. This was especially marked in her opening number a Giga with variations by Raff, and in an Etude in D flat Major by Liszt, which were perhaps her best numbers. In the closing number she was assisted by Prof. Preyer at a second piano.
Miss Ford is a charter member of Mu Phi Epsilon, the musical sorority. The assisting vocalist was Miss Gertrude Cooper, contralto, who was graduated from the voice department last year. Miss Josephine McCammon accompanied her songs. The program is as follows:

Phi Gam Spring Party.
Four hundred guests were present at the thirtieth spring party of the Pi Deuteron chapter of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity given at the fraternity house, 745 Louisiana, last evening. Seventy nine Phi Gams from the various chapters of the twelfth section of the fraternity who are here attending the annual convention were present at the affair.
The yard around the house was transformed into a Venetian garden by numberless electric lights and flowers.
On arrival the guests walked through a colonnade of white columns, supporting'a canopy of wisteria, which extended from the porch to the curb. In the hall they were received by Mrs. Cahib, Watson Campbell, Ben Matkins, Geo. Richardson, and Arthur McLain. At the south of the house a large dancing pavilion had been built which was enclosed by white columns, twined with smilax and connected by white lattice work. At the top of each column was an electric lighted globe, and over the center of the dance floor hung a huge ball of royal purple, the fraternity color. In opposite corners of the pavilion and hidden by palms were Kelly's seven piece orchestra of Kansas City, and Hall's seven piece orchestra of Topeka. These two orchestras alternated throughout the evening, and a total of seventy two dances were given. No programs were used. A five course luncheon was served during the evening in the lower rooms of the chapter house which was decorated in purple and white and the pennants of the visiting chapters. Several cozy corners were built at different places on the lawn, and small purple electric lights were strung through the trees.

SOURCE OF REAL POWER
Miss Helen Janes of the class of '10 visited friends at the University yesterday and attended the May Fete.
Rev. Frank L. Loveland Says it is The Soul.
Rev. Frank L. Loveland in his chapel talk Friday morning urged students to make themselves the best men in the nation. "This," he said, "can only be done by being progressive. The fundamental fact on which all progress is based is that the human soul is all powerful so it should be allowed to grow and thus give one the main source of real power. The recognition of this fact can only be had by having an image of God and relying upon the knowledge of the divinity.
"Although Kansas will never be noted for its secrecy it can produce great men and one of the best places for these coming men to receive their training is in the schools of the state. Some claim that schools produce only dreamers and seers. One should not sneer at the dreamers as they are the ones who make the world. Greece with her inspirational souls still stands out prominently and still influences the world. A certain railway president thinks a locomotive bell is more valuable than a school bell while others think that a chimney stack benefits the world more than a church spire. But it is the class of dreamers who make the most of the inventions.
"In this age of the greatness of the individual it is up to the church and to the schools to direct the young people along the right path. This is where one is made either a genius or a person of only mediocre ability. A great appeal should be made to the Redeemer of all souls and the forgotten original Divinity should be remembered instead of only the sin that is generally thought of by most of the people."
For the first time in the history of Princeton-Yale track meets, the Tigers defeated Yale Saturday afternoon at Princeton, 60 to 56 points. 'The final result was in doubt until the last event, the high jump, in which Simons of Princeton brought victory to his school by ticing with Caufield o'Yale for first place Princeton won first in every track event and Yale won or tied in every field event.
What a College Graduate Says.
The faults of our secret societies ought to be met squarely by every college woman who wears Greek letters, for only through them can reforms come. Only by them can the foolish and trivial externals which excite so much criticism be rubbed off, leaving the unselfish, sincere, good-heartedness of the thing.
This probably sounds like the rankest kind of heresy, and I know of girls who are so fierce in their devotion to their own sorority that they would rend limb from limb any sister of theirs who would dream of admitting, especially to an outsider, that her sorority had the faintest shadow of a shortecoming. I do not mean this in any disloyal way; I consider that the allegiance I pledged to an ideal is just as sacred and inviolable as it was the night I pledged it as a freshman, wide-eyed and wondering over the marvel of having the all but divine upper-class, girls offering their friendship and their fudge so freely. The ideal is still kept, but if I am able to see in the light of a little experience that it is rarely remembered in the actual workings, I hope I may be granted sufferance while I say so. It is because I do most earnestly long to see the day when women's clubs may rise above the externals which so often lay them open to fidicule that I voice these apparently heartless and unisisterly feelings. Certainly we are not blind to the faults of our nearest and dearest just because we love them. It is not a sign of devotion surely, to be stupid—From "Four Years a Greek" in the June Woman's Home Companion.

SYNOPSIS OF PLAY
Rehearsals for "Sister, You're Wrong," Now Completed.
The senior play, "Sister, You're Wrong," is ready for its presentation on Thursday and Friday evenings of this week. The rehearsals, which have been going on for some time, are now being devoted to the putting on the finishing touches to the play.
A synopsis of the play is: Clayton Sherwood and his sister Louise, are students at the University. Both room at the same house. One night Clayton in company with five other young men remains up the whole night and a greater part of the morning playing poker. While they are playing they are rudely interrupted by the disciplinary committed but this is not the greatest of Clayton's troubles. Upon his return home he is confronted by his sister who demands an explanation of his whereabouts. Clayton, fearing to tell the truth, says that he spent the night with an old friend. His sister does not believe him. "Sister, You're Wrong." She then attempts to disprove her brother's story. The result of her efforts are complications which are indulious, hilarious, and painful to the sister, besides involving an old friend, Clayton's sweetheart, a farmer and his wife and many male students and coeds. But the question is nevertheless left to the auditors as to whether Clayton was right when he said, "Sister, You're Wrong."
Seats go on sale tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. The production is under the direction of Miss Gertrude Mossler. The dates are May 18 and 19. Passes given to juniors are not transferable or negotiable.

SHERWIN'S LETTER ON FOOTBALL.
The Kicking Contest Has Been Abandoned—Spring Practice Drags.
The spring practice, that was organized some weeks ago, has become dilatory among the students who put on the mole skins and the kicking contest that was to have been held this spring during commencement week, has been abandoned on account of the lack of interest displayed by the men. However, a few of the men still put in their appearance in the afternoon to kick the pig-skin on the field south of McCook field and the life of the practice drags out to a weary end.
A review of the situation of the practice and the prospects of material was sent to Prof. Ralph W. Sherwin at Dartmouth College with a series of questions regarding the manner of practice which
1924
PROF. RALPH W. SHERWIN
ne intended to pursue upon his arrival at the University next September. The Kansan is now in receipt of a letter from Coach Sherwin and the answers to some of the questions asked are in part as follows: "I can say from what I know of athletes at Kansas that I believe that the eastern style of football can be successfully introduced, and that with western spirit of consciencious work, there is no reason why the University should not have a team that would be a credit to any University.
"This is a difficult position in which to be placed, because I would rather wait till fall to do my talking, and I hope you appreciate the disadvantage of trying to discuss football through correspondence. I am willing, however, to do all in my power to bring about a successful team, and therefore I am going to state a few of the plans which I believe to be important, and which I intend to carry out in the fall.
"I was pleased to learn of the kicking contest that is to be held this spring, for I believe this is, under the new rules, the most important part of the game. The
onside kick should be developed if the ends are fast, and at the same time should be used frequently against a team with a strong line defense. Then again the offensive play should be developed early in order that the interference may become like that of one man in action. I have seen too many teams with a stronger developed defense than offense. A team to win must score, and for this reason I believe the offense should be considered seriously in coaching a team.
"I understand that the forward pass is used more frequently in the west than in the east. This is, I believe, due to the fact that the west play a more open game than the east, and is used accordingly." These departments of the game I consider the most important, and I am going to develop them to the best of my ability."
"Very truly,
"Ralph W. Sherwin."
S LDIERS TOO STRONG
University Team Defeated by Levenworth Officers.
Eleven members of the Oread golf club journeyed to Fort Leavenworth Saturday where they gambled on the green with the Fort officers team in eleven eighteen hole matches. The Kansans lost by a score of twenty three to seven. L. W. Kinnear of the Oread club made the round of the Fort course in forty-five strokes; the record for the course is forty-four and this has only been accomplished twice. The University team was somewhat handicapped in their play by the absence of Jones and Price two of their strongest players.
The men intended to return Saturday evening but owing to a break down of their train they were compelled to stay over at the Fort and return Sunday morning. They report excellent treatment at the hands of the officers, and were much impressed by the way army men entertain, The Fort Leavenworth men will play a return match here in Lawrence within the next two weeks.
The trip to the fort was made by the following men: M. W. Sterling, J. D. Newton, L. W. Kinnaird, W. S. Johnson, C. C. Crawford, Otto Barteldes, F. W. Raymond, C. H. Gray, D. L. Patterson, Allen Sterling, and E. M. Briggs.
Instructors to Topeka.
Professor Alberta Corbin, of the German department, Professor Eugene Galooof the French department, Dr. Ida H. Hyde of the School of Medicine, Miss Winston and Miss Margaret Lynn of the English department, all attended the Women's Equal Suffrage association meeting in Topeka today.
No Holiday Friday.
No regular holiday will be granted by the chancellor next Friday. It is probable that most of the time after chapel until noon will be consumed by the school speakers.
University Donates Chairs.
The University gave one thousand chairs to be used during the G. A. R. encampment. Some of the meetings are being held in the skating rink.
"JAYHAWKER" SALE STARTS THURSDAY
ANNUAL FOR 1911 IS EX-
TREMELY CLEVER.
Dedicated to Dean Blackmar—Contains 398 Pages—Pictures And Cartoons Are Features.
The "Jayhawker" for 1911 is off the press and will be ready for sale at the first performance of the Senior Play next Thursday evening. The entire edition of one thousand copies has been sent to Lawrence to the managers and after Thursday books may be bought almost anywhere.
The "Jayhacker" is a book of 398 pages bound in full Russian morocco leather and is said to be the most expensive of any annual book that has ever been published by a senior class. The book is dedicated to Dean F. W. Blackmar, "a man who as Dean of the Graduate school, author of text books and constructive laws, has placed the name of the University before the States and fostered its best interests."
This year the Annual has been divided into eight books with seventers in each book. Book I is devoted to the Regents and Faculty. An even 80 pages are given to the pictures and write-ups of the seniors. Book III is called College life and contains the pictures and announcements of the various activities such as Press, Drama, Music, Organizations, Debating, Societies and Clubs. Ther are 83 pages of this with extremely clever cartoons. Athletics, which make up Book IV is divided into varsity athletics and home athletics. Fraternities make up Book V. And then comes the book that makes every one read it with great care and caution. "In Lighter Vein" is Book VI and there are 80 pages of fun and jokes on the other fellow. A hasty survey of this section of the book leads one to believe that the editors did not fail to catch nearly all of the "seandal" that has been on the hill this year.
The one big feature of the Annual this year is the picture and cartoon work. A zine etching is at the top of every page and the entire book is interspersed with half tones. Each book is prefaced by a colored plate with a clever cartoon. Emil Grignard D. II Maloy Arthur Caylor, Orlin Weede, and Roy Work all have cartoons in the book.
The "Jayhawker" for 1911 is one of which the University may be proud and a splendid sale for the books is predicted. The editor is Elbert Overman. Homer Berger is assistant editor, and Helen Phillips associate editor. George Russell is business manager.
Thespians to Meet.
There will be a meeting of the Thespian Dramatic club tonight at 7 o'clock room 110 Fraser hall. Election of officers for ensuing year.

A SAD, SAD TALE.
The press of the country has been lauding "One-round" Hogan this week. This pugilistic gentleman had engaged for a fistic encounter with the Hon. Wolgast and previous to the combat he made the remark that he was in perfect fighting trim that he had no excuses to offer and that if he was beaten he would know it was by a better man than himself. Hogan lasted one round and was then carted to the hospital. As soon as he was able to talk, mirabile dictu, he stated that the fight was on the square and that he was going to retire from the ring.
The meet Saturday was an athletic contest that was a credit to both schools. Kansas is not making any pleas for leniency or is not saying that the meet was not on the square. We were beaten by a better team wherefore the analogy to the belligerent Irishman who lasted only one round.
Now this little dissertation on prize fighting has been a preface to a sad, sad tale. Last Saturday Missouri came here and took the measure of our track team. Before the meet Kansas announced that she was in good condition, with the exception of one or two men. The Tigers beat us fairly and squarely and we are going to make the same bid for praise as did our pugilistic brother with the Irish name. We were beaten by a team better than ourselves and therefore we are going to retire—until next year. Next year it is planned to send a delegation of University students to Columbia and to have these same men kidnap Bermond, Steele, Johnson, Nicholson, Catron and at least two of the Andersons and the rest of the team.
The action of the Pan-Hellenic council in restraining their freshmen from taking part in dramatics, is a step in the right direction. It is a lamentable fact that there are too many detracting influences that tend to make the first year man forget the main purpose of his coming to College. Restraint in dramatics removes one of the chief
influences that work against real study among the first year men.
In a recent statement by Dr. Naismith on the physical defects found in students, there is a curious coincidence that 4 per cent of the student body have heart defects and 4 per cent of the student body have arm abnormalities.

Prof. Walker Thinks Students Should Attend Summer School
“Students should attend the summer session and thus they could get through the university in about a year less time,” said Prof. A. T. Walker in his chapel talk this morning. “As it is now,” he continued, “the members of the graduating class are older than is best. By getting through quicker they will have a better and earlier start in life. As it is now there are only two occupations in which a person gets three months of vacation. They are the teachers and students. The business and professional men seldom take more than two weeks vacation. Although this may be too short a time for rest, three months is too long. The real reason for the long vacation used to be that the young men had to work on farms. The common explanation now is that the work of studying is trying and so the vacation is necessary.
"As to the professors staying for summer session it is a sacrifice since they should have this time for engaging in research work and the publishing of articles. But under the present conditions many of them have to stay, so they have no time for research work."

STUDENTS CONSUME MUCH COCA COLA
228,348 GLASSES DRUNK SINCE LAST FALL.
Quiz Week Sees Increase in Sale
—Government Report Says
That it is Dangerous.
During the school year just closing, the students of the University have consumed in the neighborhood of 228,648 glasses of the great stimulant Coco-Cola.
The secret of this gigantic sale of this drink seems to be the fact, that the students in their haste, call for the first drink which occurs to them—namely 'coke.' In one of the local soda dispensaries last week, out of 43 students who came in for a "cool, refreshing, invigorating drink," over 50 per cent asked for coco-cola. During quiz week late this winter, the sale of this popular drink increased at student resorts forty per cent. The week following it resumed its regular consumption showing that there is a certain belief among students that "coke" will rejuvenate their "sleepy" nerves; and thus keep them awake, so that their cramming may continue into the 'wee sma' hours of the morning.
If the glasses containing the coco-cola used since last September were stood on their base so that the edges touched, the glasses would extend, over halfway to Baldwin, a distance of 16 miles.
Each glass of 'eoke' contain from 2 to 3 grains of caffeine two or three times the amount of a therapentic dose. It also has a little alcohol, but is mostly composed of sugar. The attorney for the United States government in his report says: "Coco cola should be classified as a dangerous medicinal compound which will originate, engender, cultivate, and inflame the desire for stimulants, opiates and narcotics."
These figures were secured through an inquiry into the amount of eoco cola used by the local "jerkers" and then learning what per cent of the trade was student trade. Some merchants said that their trade was practically all students, others two-fifths to four-fifths. A general average was taken and the above conclusions reached.
TO ENTERTAIN GUESTS
High School Athletes Will be Provided For.
Preparations are being made by Coach Hamilton and the fraternal organizations of the University for the entertainment of the athletes of the high school who will be in Lawrence Saturday to take part in the annual high school invitation meet on MeCook field.
Six representatives from each of the eight national Greek letter fraternities, the Pi Upsilon, Acaciais, and the Keltz club will hold a meeting with Coach Hamilton Wednesday night and it will be decided to which organization the several men will be apportioned. The men will be entertained at dinner the evening after the meet Saturday afternoon.
Will Mount Shark.
The paleontological department at the Museum is working on the skeleton of a shark which, when completed, will be twenty-five feet long. It has about 175 vertebrae of which the largest are three inches across. The mounted specimen will be placed on the north wall near the first landing of the stairway.

WAR ON FRUIT BUGS.
Prof. Hunter Aids Farmers in Spraying Trees.
Prof. S. J. Hunter who has already done much for the agricultural classes of the state in destroying harmful insects and diseases has been spending the past week in visiting the growers of crops with a view to directing the spraying of fruit trees this spring and thus increase the fruit yield. Prof. Hunter will direct the work but the expense incurred by the spraying process will be borne by the fruit raisers themselves. The San Jose scale, which troubles many orchard is not a disturbing element in Douglas county orchards, but the apple scab and the coddling moth must be treated when the apple blossoms fall after maturity.
In this way the University is doing great service to the state, especially the fruit growers, at this time. With the co-operation between the University and the fruit growers, the orchards should soon be freed from all injurious pests.
The annual track meet between Yale and Harvard was won by the former at New Haven Saturday, 5915 points to 4415. The teams were close together until the hammer throw when the victory was assured for Yale. In the two-mile run Harvard won all three places while Yale took all points in the pole vault.
The University of Pennsylvania baseball team squared accounts with Yale Saturday at Philadelphia by taking the second game played between them this season with a score of 3 to1.
Fairmount easily won the annual Arkansas Valley intercollegiate track meet at Wichita Saturday, scoring 71 points. The relay race was taken by the College of Emporia which finished second in the meet with 30 points.
Cornell van away from Princeton in the annual track and field meet Saturday at Ithaca, N. Y. and swamped the Tigers $79\frac{1}{2}$ to $37\frac{1}{2}$.

Brock Pemberton '07, Portrayed By W. A. White.
Watch out for your horses, the steam piano is coming!
Fine writing paper at Boughton's.
Word comes from New York that before harvest Brock Pemberton, who for four long years was the star reporter of the Gazette, is coming home to visit the folks after a year's sojourn in New York. Mr. Pemberton was when he left Emporia a year ago; easily the glass of fashion for the entire Neosho Valley from Chanute to Fort Riley, and he was the mold of form for an area beginning one hundred yards west of Bowersock's dam at Lawrence and running into the sage brush just this side of Colorado Springs. He knew whether gloves should be buckled buttoned or bound; he divined with more than human prescience what shade of necktie would whirl across our ken from Fifth Avenue. He read the Habe derasher from cover to cover, and could get up a column of men's fashions on ten minutes notice that read like a chapter from Robert W. Chambers. For with all his virtues, Brock could write. He was as good, if not the best single handed catch-as-catch-can English wrestler, the Gazette ever has seen. His theatrical notices were especially disheartening to the gentlemanly and urbane proprietor of the airdome and manager of the Opera House. And when Brock turned loose on a home talent show the office was crowded for a week with subscribers trying to get their names off the book. He was denounced in all high caste Brahmin circles of the town for his unspeakable theatrical notices and it was agreed that when he hit New York he would have a sad awakening.
Well, Brock hit New York. He worked eight or nine months on the local department of the New York Evening Mail—the brightest evening paper in New York. Then they put him on the theatrical beat. Thus have his Emporia critics been rebuked. For he has made good. The stuff that gave them pain and pause in Emporia has caught on in New York. And Brock is coming home, like Lentullus with victorious legions to Capua. Word comes from New York from a Kansas man who saw Brock on Broadway that he has a high silk hat, a cane and a suit of first night evening clothes worth going miles to see. The Retail Merchants' association should hire him for a three days' meet. He will beat the fly-men; for he will give a performance, no matter how high the wind.
Will Address Engineers.
Ray Jones of Washburn will speak before the American institute of electrical engineers at Marvin hall Wednesday evening at 7:30 p. m. The society of mechanical engineers will meet Thursday night, 7:30 p. m. at 1301 Ohio street.

SUMMER COURSE IN PHARMACY
DESIGNED TO AID CORRES
PONDENCE STUDY DEPT.
Instruction in Four Subjects
—All Entrance Restrictions
Are Removed.
The School of Pharmacy of the University of Kansas is one of the few Schools west of the Mississippi which has attained distinction among Pharmacy Schools, it being one of those represented in the National Conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties and rated as Grade one by the Board of Regents of the State of New York. It is connected directly with lines of work which assume national importance.
The School has always aimed to keep in the vanguard of Pharmaceutical education and the members of its faculty are well known in the Pharmaceutical circles of the Nation. Dean Sayre is now serving his third decimal term as a member of the Committee of Revision of the United States Pharmacopoeia The school is located in the Chemistry and Pharmacy Building which is one of the fifteen buildings situated on the picturesque and airy summit of Mount Oread near the center of the University campus at Lawrence. A more delightful location for either summer or winter study cannot be found in the State The School was established by an
The School was established by an of Kansas.
Act of the Legislature in 1885 and Professor L. E. Sayre was chosen Dean and Professor of Pharmacy and Materia Medica. It is the only School in the State of Kansas which gives a full 2 years course in Pharmacy and is authorized to grant recognized degrees. It owes its establishment very largely to the efforts of the Kansas Pharmaceutical Association and the association's continued interest is shown by the fact that it appoints each year a committee to visit the school and report at the annual assembly.
The School has been well patronized from the first and more than 1000 of the young people of Kansas have availed themselves of the opportunity which it offers. 369 of these have received degrees from the school. A comparison of the first with the latest catalogue shows that the number of courses offered by it has increased from 17 to more than 60. The degree of Graduate in Pharmacy, which the school at first granted was replaced in 1896 by the stronger and more definite degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist. Post graduate work was offered in 1888 and in 1896 a four year course in Pharmacy was introduced, leading to the degree of B. S., in Pharmacy. In 1900 the School inaugurated, at the instance of the Kansas Pharmaceutical association a three year course in Pharmacy leading to the degree of Ph. C. The State Board of Pharmacy immediately indorsed this course, as well as the training offered by the school, by allowing the graduates of it an additional
credit of nine months towards the four years of practical experience required by the board for registration.
SHORT COURSES.
The school, although believing that a course of two complete years is the minimum which should be devoted to preparation for so responsible a calling as that of Pharmacist, nevertheless, feels that a shorter course offers at least proportional advantages.
PHARMACY BY CORRESPONDENCE.
In pursuance of the initial policy of the School, to aid in every possible way those who seek academic instruction along pharmaceutical lines, several subjects were offered through the Department of Correspondence Study, in the fall of 1900. These courses were so favorably received that it was decided in 1910 to establish a complete course in Pharmacy by correspondence. This course is intended to extend over a period of two years. Two sessions in summer residence of six weeks each are offered in connection with it. Students who successfully complete this prescribed course of study and who have had four years of practical experience will be granted the degree of Graduate in Pharmacy (Ph. G.)
SUMMER SCHOOL.
The demand for a short course in residence by the Pharmacy students in the Correspondence Study Department, induced the University authorities to offer such a course last year in the eighth summer session of the University. This course was also adapted to the needs of drug clerks who were preparing for the examination before the State Board of Pharmacy as well as to the needs of those clerks who desired to increase their knowledge and efficiency but who, for various reasons, were unable to avail themselves of the opportunities heretofore offered for residence work. The response to this and the increasing demand for residence work has induced the authorities to make this short course a permanent feature of the summer session of the University. That the advantages of it may be brought within reach of all, the fees are placed at the minimum and all entrance restrictions removed.
With these auxiliary courses, the School of Pharmacy has succeeded in placing within the reach of all, who have the necessary ambition to be worthy of the time honored name of Pharmacist, an opportunity to secure a pharmaceutical education.

STUDENT HOSPITAL N CT PAYING OUT
TOO MUCH EXPENSE IN RE.
TURN FOR SUPPORT
Treasurer Makes a Report Showing Balance of $50- Work of the Association.
The Student Hospital which has been maintained for the past five years at 1135 Ohio Street will probably cease to exist after this year. The report which has just been drawn up by the Hospital Association shows the students have not given the attempt their proper support in comparison with the value which has been received by the individual students, and the student body at large.
The association has maintained an infirmary with a resident nurse and a house keeper, who have taken care of the twenty-five cases there. A competent physician has been employed by the Regents, who has given two hours for free consultation to any and all ailing students on any school day.
Of the twenty-five cases, fifteen were contagious diseases—six diphtheria, five measles, and four scarlet fever. Sixteen of the patients in the Infirmary had payed the $1 initiation fee at the beginning of the year and were therefore charged only for their board. One young woman of the University had a bad case of scarlet fever and was detained in the hospital 35 days. She paid the regular fee of $4.25 per month for members. Had she not been a member the price would have been $175. This is the least that it would cost at any hospital in Lawrence. The young woman saved $149.
Th total amount saved by the sixteen members who were sick this year approximates $500. This amount has been obtained by a comparison with the low rates which have been established for students not members of the assoc. association.
More important however than the financial saving is the protection which has been afforded the whole student body by the early diagnosis of contagious diseases. At the University of Missouri there is at present an epidemic of small pox. This would be impossible here with the care which is taken in the Infirmary.
This year only 272 student took membership in the association. This is a smaller number than any preceding year and if the interest of the students in the enterprise does not increase there will be no Infirmary next year. It is supposed that the student council will take the matter up at the meeting tomorrow night. The plan for next year is to use the surplus over the expenses this year toward furnishing a small house to serve as a student Infirmary. The report of the treasurer for the past year is as follows:
The period covered is from May 21, 1910 to March 4, 1911.
Last year's balance ... $408.16
Fees ... 272.00
From non-members ... 127.28
Receipts.
Expenditures.
Total ... $807.44
Rent ... $250.00
Nursing ... 185.77
Fuel and light ... 37.00
Supplies ... 153.75
Total ... $626.52
Balance ... $180.92
The balance at the end of the year will probably be about $50. This will likely be turned over to the health committee for use in equipping the small house.

NUMBER 93
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY,MAY 18 1911
INVITATION MEET HERE SATURDAY
ONE HUNDRED FOUR ATH
LETES WILL COME
Kansas City And Kansas Schools Will be Represented—Entertainment Planned.
The fourth annual High School Invitation track meet at the invitation of the University will be held on McCook field Saturday afternoon, May 20. The best athletes of the high schools of Kansas will meet the champion teams of Kansas City, Mo., and records that have been made by these men in former meets point to a series of contests and races that will rival those of any of the high school meets held in the Missouri Valley. Heretofore the freshmen team of the University took part in the meet and tested their mettle against the high school men, but the Missouri Valley conference ruling will not permit University men to compete with athletes of any other school whatever.
One hundred and four athletes have signified their intention of entering the meet and the preparations for their entertainment made by the athletic management of the University are very elaborate. The teams will be put up the hotels as they arrive, at the expense of the University management and arrangements for their entertainment include many features. The first race of the meet will be started at 2:30 o'clock and it is expected that the field will be cleared shortly after five. Immediately after the relay race has been run the members of the teams will go to Robinson gymnasium for a swim in the pool and at six they will be met by the members of the University fraternities who will entertain them to dinner.
Coach W. O. Hamilton returned from Kansas City yesterday and spoke very enthusiastically about the prospects of a record-breaking attendance at the meet Saturday afternoon. He declared that with good weather in our favor the University could expect from 500 to 1000 rooters from Kansas City to attend the meet. They will come to Lawrence in a special train in the morning. Members of the faculty there, who are University graduates, are laying plans to chaperone parties of high school girls. They expect to make it an excursion day to the University town.
A committee of 75 members who will wear a special badge has been appointed by the Athletic Management to meet the special train at the Union Pacific station Saturday morning and they will distribute to the visitors cards bearing information regarding the hotels at which the teams will put up and a program of the day's events. Marvin grove will be free for picnic parties and all the University buildings will be open for inspection.
The schools that will send athletes to enter the meet are: Central, Manual, and Westport, of Kansas City, Missouri, and the Kansas City, and Catholic School of Kansas City, Kans., Chanute, Clay County, Emporia, Junction City, Pittsburg, Anthony, Perry, Beattie, Concordia, Caucy, Richmond, Clearwater, onOmaga, Florence, Hutchinson, and Ft. Scott. The school winning the highest number of points will receive a silver loving cup trophy and the individual scoring the largest number of points will be awarded a loving cup trophy. All men who break records at the Invitation Meet will be given silver loving cups and there will be gold, silver, and bronze medals for men taking first second, and third places respectively.
WOULD MEET ON LAKE
Dr. Naismith Suggests Water Sports For The Last Week
Dr. Naismith has suggested the following events to be pulled off at the regatta to be held commencement week on Potter Lake:
An inter-fraternity tria race, log rolling match, duck chasing contest and a testing of skill at walking the boom. These would prove very interesting features in this afternoon devoted entirely to water sports and it is Dr. Naismith's wish that the fraternities would get together and agree to put on some shows of this sort as they would prove highly popular with the holiday crowd that will be sitting on the banks or paddling around in canoes.
"It is certain now that the regatta will be held on Potter Lake" said Dr. Naismith this afternoon, "as the city water is now being pumped into it and will fill it in time for the water games."
PHARMICS TO TOPEKA
Will Attend Pharmaceutical Meeting Next Week.
A number of the professors and students of the School of Pharmacy will attend the Pharmaceutical meeting held May 25, 26, and 27 at Topeka. The State board examination will be held on Thursday the 28th. There are about ten from the University intending to take it.
Professor Sayre speaks before the meeting on, "Drug Reform," Prof. H. W. Emerson on, "Outlook," Prof. L. D. Havenhill has a report on "Drug Adulteration" to give the committee and "Prof G. N. Watson speaks on "Perecolation—Effect of Rate on Product."
The students of the Graduate School held a meeting on the campus last night. It was decided to hold a picnic at Camerons Bluff, Friday evening, May 19. Some of the party will walk, and the remainder will go up in motor boats.
Graduates to Picnic.
The K. U. Plymouth Guild will give a picnic Saturday evening at Cameron's Bluff. All Congregational students or those having Congregational preference are invited to meet at the church at 5 o'clock. The hayracks will leave promptly at that time.

UNIVERSITY K. N. G.
WINS SHAM BATTLE
CAPTAIN SHIFFLER'S COMMAND TOOK THE FORT
Civil War Veterans Watch Contest—Darkness Veiled Contestants—Large Crowd Present.
Lawrence got into the same class with El Paso, Tex., and Douglas Ariz., last night, when a large crowd watched a battle at Woodland park between a federal garrison under Captain Navarro Clarke and a large force of howling insurrectos under General Madero Shifler. None of the bystanders was injured.
The sham fight was put on as one of the features of the G. A. R. encampment which is being held in Lawrence this week. The attacking force of the University insurrectos came into touch with the federal pickets about 9 o'clock. Desultory firing followed as the insurrectos under cover of darkness crept to the attack. The advance was made under conditions of normal attack, as the tacticians say. The spectators say that the conditions were filled to the letter if normal attack is to creep up without being seen. At least nothing could be seen except the flashes of the guns.
Brushing back a line of sharp shooters thrown out from the fort to ward off the attack, the Madero forces kept up their advance in ragged skirmish order, reserving their fire until within point blank range. Then they opened up and the ammunition wagons were kept busy until the reckless students crawled into the fort and with clubbed guns took the position.
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
College Aspirants Should See Will French.
The challenge of the Schools of Law and Engineering to a track meet on McCook field has been accepted by the College. As there was no representative available from the College to take immediate action the Student Council appointed William French to look after their interests. All men who wish to compete in the track meet from the College should make themselves known to William French at an early hour Friday morning. This track meet will be held on Students' day.
Saturday afternoon the Oread Golf club will hold a tournament with the army officers of Leavenworth. This is a return match for the one held last week at the Fort. The following officers will play the University team: Capt. Barker, Major Stuart, Capt. Horne, Capt. Lott, Capt. Kocherspergere, Col. Kuhn, Capt. Wolfe, Col. Slavens, Capt. Haskell, Col. Stephenson, Lieut. Beebe and Lieut. Kruger.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL
The Men's Student Council that has just completed its tenure of office, has made a conscientious effort to perform the duties that have arisen during the past year. Not until the outgoing officers took control of affairs was the Student Counsell recognized as a body that had a definite, controlling force over the students. The first year's work of the council was mainly one of attempts at regulation with no power to enforce. The administration of the last Student Council has seen an accretion of power and influence that has made the council a body to be respected.
In no small way has this growth been due to the president, Ralph Spotts has worked hard towards establishing just what the council is today. To the new president he hands over an office that when he took it was mainly nominal. The office of president of the Student Council is now one of the choicest honors of the school and its influence is widespread. The new members of the council say that the reports of Secretary Sears show great exactness. The minutes of every meeting are typewritten and neatly bound and a copy of every letter sent out by the council together with all the letters received, are carefully catalogued It is this idea of system and definiteness in the council that has counted much toward its growth.
The new council has a task before it. There are many new problems to be met and many of the old questions must be acted upon. Let us hope that the new officers will exercise as much wisdom and will make their influence felt as widely as have those who have just retired from office.
DO WE WANT A HOSPITAL?
it is safe to say that if the parents of the students at the University were informed that such a thing as a Students' Hospital existed and that next year it will probably be discontinued because of lack of funds, there
would be a general expression by them that it should be continued. The average student, if we are to judge by the support the hospital has received, uses precaution and care in everything except his health. And yet there is nothing so important to good scholarship as a healthy body.
By having a hospital equipped for the special use of the student body the University is providing one of the greatest safe guards against disease that is possible and all at a small expense to the individual. The recent epidemic of smallpox at the University of Missouri illustrates the results that are possible when a concerted effort is not made by the University authorities to check and prevent disease before it is too late. The hospital at the University last year saved many dollars for those who were unfortunate enough to need medical assistance. There are many who argue that they will take their chances on sickness and that a hospital fee is an unnecessary expenditure. It is true that a great majority of the student

body would never have occasion to require the services that the Hospital association offers but surely there is not one student who gives the matter careful thought who will not say that a dollar invested in a risk on sickness is not a good thing.
Common sense will tell anyone that a hospital for University students is to be desired. The attitude of the student body toward the association in the past is due to neglect and lack of careful thought. No one who has given the idea serious consideration will hesitate to invest one dollar in a movement that will do much towards maintaining a healthy student body.
NEWSPAPER A SERVANT
A Paper Should Not Seek to be Educational Alone.
"The newspaper is the servant of the community, and as such, is under obligations to give full value for everything that it receives at the hands of its patrons," said Otta Barth, the advertising manager of the Kansas Farmer in a talk before the class in reporting Wednesday morning.
"While the paper which seeks to be educational in character, alone, will have hard sledding, a proper combination of instruction and information, with a real desire to be of use to the community will invariably win any publication success."

GIRLS PRACTICE GIVING DINNERS
TEN MEALS SERVED BY
ECONOMIC STUDENTS
Hostesses Must Determine Food Value and Money Value of Each Repast.
The dinners that are being given by the members of the home economies classes during the month have so far been successful. At each of the dinners there are two hostesses who can invite from two to four guests. With the two who act as waitresses and Dr. Day this makes from seven to nine to be served. The hostesses have to do their own cooking even to the making of the ice cream or the other dessert that is served. Moreover they are limited to the spending of only twenty-five cents on each diner. This does not include the cost of the table salt but does include the cost of the salt for the ice cream and the more expensive seasonings as the flavoring.
The girls also have to determine the food value of the different dishes, as the finding of the per cent of protein, fat, ete. The amount that will be eaten is closely calculated since the ingredients are carefully weighed beforehand and what is left after the meal is again weighed. Generally four courses are served. These consist of fruit, meat and vegetables, salad, and dessert.
The giving of the dimmers is required of all those in the classes Since there are twenty taking the course this makes ten dimers.

Incubator Chicks Are Different Decide Prof. and Poet.
Some time ago a student in the University thought that he covered that the chicken is an intelligent foul. M. W. Sterling professor of Greek, and Harry Kemp, writer of many poems are convinced that at least one member of the chicken family is an exception to the rule.
Professor Sterling was at work the other day upon his newly built chicken ranch, when Harry Kemp entered the yard on Louis iana street. The Greek professor had just taken one of his pets out of a coop, containing about seventy-five other chicks. The chicken had its feathers rubbed off on one side and its brothers and sisters would undoubtedly have peeked it to death had not the professor-taken it from the pen. But the little chick endevorved to get back into the coop.
Two questions then entered the minds of the spectators. Was the chicken so senseless as not to realize the period of re-entering the coop, or, on the other hand, did it intend to commit suicide? Here Kemp recalled a scientific article which proved that an insane chicken has never been known to exist and that suicide is a form of insanity. Professor Sterling at first didn't want to admit that his well bred chicken was lacking in intellect but was forced to concede that the feathery pet was not displaying any at that time. He evaded the question by saying: "It's just because it is a chicken."
The absence of any mother in the yard solved the problem. The high grade chicks had been matched in the approved city style in an incubator and of course were not like the old fashioned country fowls who are raised in the natural way.

STATE COMMISSION WILL MEET MAY 22
PRESIDENTS OF STATE IN
STITUTIONS, MEMBERS
Committees on Efficiency, Finance and Coordinations of State Schools to Report
A call for another meeting of the state commission on higher education was recently issued by Governor Stubbs for May 22. The coming meeting will be the most important held by the commission for the three sub-committees appointed at the first meeting will be ready to report.
At the first meeting a committee on efficiency, a committee on finance, and a committee on coordination of work were appointed. At the meeting held last week the work of the committees was talked over but no reports were made. The committees had not completed their work.
The finance committee is at work this week arranging for a uniform system of bookkeeping for the different state educational institutions. The committee is being assisted by the State Auditor and the state accountant. The committee will also have the services of an expert from the outside as soon as he can be located. The system of bookkeeping planned will cover every department of each institution so it will be possible to show just where every cent appropriated goes.
The committee on higher education is made up of the regents of the three state educational institutions—the state University, the state Agricultural college, and the state Normal school. In this work the regents have laid aside their allegiance to their respective schools and are working for the best interests of all the schools.
The presidents of the various state institutions are also members of the committee of higher education, and will be present at the meeting. Chancellor Strong will attend the meeting on May 22.
SPECIAL EDITION
Kansan Will Contain News for The High Schools.
The Kansan will get out a special high school edition Saturday which will be sent to each member of the high school graduating classes in the state of Kansas. The edition will contain principally news of interest to the high school students but will also contain the current news of the University.
The purpose of the edition is to interest the high school students in the University. Forty-one hundred copies will be printed. There will be a special letter from the Chancellor and other notes of advice.
Wilbers to Entertain.
Dr. and Mrs. F. A. Wilber will entertain the Volunteer Band and a few other guests at dinner on Friday evening. The dinner is in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Smith and John T.

BACK FROM TRIAL
Professors Testify For State in Murder Case.
Prof. F, W. Bushong of the department of Chemistry and Dr. W, K. Trimble of the School of Medicine at Rosedale returned Monday evening from Greensburg, Kansas where they had been for two weeks in connection with the criminal case in which Dr. G. H. Buck is accused of poisoning his wife by means of evanide.
They testified in behalf of the state prosecution but their testimony in itself was not sufficient to convict. Professor Bushong reports, as his tests indicated only a mere trace of cyanide.
The ease was argued by the attorneys Wednesday afternoon and sent to the jury in the evening. A verdict of murder in the first degree was promptly returned by the jury.

The graduating expression recital of Miss Constance McCommon in Fraser hall Tuesday evening was exceptionally good and was well attended. Miss McCommon is a reader of well known ability on the hill and although the evening was warm and some of the selections long and difficult, still she held the entire attention of her audience. One of her big numbers was a dramatic sketch "Nance Oldfield" by Chas. Reade. In this piece the reader of the evening displayed great dramatic possibilities in portraying "Nance Oldfield" an actress of 1706.
Miss Marvel DeVoe who assisted in the program of the evening is a young violinist of Kansas City. She showed rare talent in her playing and was well received. Miss Josephine McCammon, the accompanist, played exceedingly well and showed perfect sympathy with the spirit of the readings and the solos which she accompanied. The ushers for the evening were Licile Barrett, Hazel Browning, Grace O'Neil, and Cornelia Hardeastle.

ADDRESSES LETTER TO 3400 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Asks Them to Consider the University For Higher Education.
Three thousand four hundred students will graduate from the high schools over the state this spring. In the High School edition of the University Kansan, Chancellor Strong has written a letter to each one of the graduates asking their consideration of the University when contemplating higher education.
The letter follows:
The letter follows:
To the Graduates of Kansas High!
Schools:
The University of Kansas sends you greeting and a cordial invitation to give careful consideration to the advantages of a University training. The University of Kansas will take care of all students who come prepared to do University work. We shall be very glad therefore, to have you examine its work, its standards of scholarships, and the almost unlimited field covered by its courses of study. It is of no small value to be a member of the great fraternity of men and women—some 24,000—who have been at the University of Kansas As you doubtless know this number includes many men and wo men who have reached eminence
The University of Kansas is a member of the standard association of American Universities which includes twenty-two of the most important institutions in North America. It has had a large scientific and industrial development. It has the largest and most valuable scientific collections of any state university in America. It also was the first institution to develop the new line of industrial fellowships, a work somewhat analogous to the industrial work for Germany done by the German universities. Probably no industrial work by American universities has attracted more attention throughout the world than this.
The life of the student body is varied and interesting and rich in the very best elements of moral and cultural life.
After giving these and other matters your careful consideration if you decide to come to the University of Kansas, you will be made welcome and we hope that our association will be of great uplift to you and of great value to us. Sincerely yours,
FRANK STRONG.

Vawter, David H. Wenrich.
SENIOR PLAY SUCCESS
'Sister You're Wrong' Given This Week—Play is Clever and Acting Excellent.
Excellent acting by several members of the cast made the Senior Play, which was produced last Thursday and Friday evenings, a success. "Sister, You're Wrong" is a three act comedy with the old, old story of a little lie, a telegram to ascertain the real facts, a complication in identity, and the "lived happily ever afterward" ending. In several places there were interesting digressions from this that gave it the local college flavor that commended it to the people who were in attendance.
The action in the last two acts of the play is rapid and with Helen Morrow, as the sister, Clem Parker, as the peace maker and the wrong Mr. Brown, and France Wilson, as the brother who took his sister she was wrong in the leading roles, the interest is well sustained. The first act in which two full hands of poker are played before an anxious audience seems to be the greatest fault of the entire production.
The play was well staged and the acting was especially good it was written entirely by Moe Friedman, chairman of the Senior Play committee. The other members of the committee are Eliot Porter, Cornelia Hardeastle, Fern Edie, Tom Palmer, George Richardson, Oreta Moore, Mat Graham, Edith Willis, and Mabel Evans.
The "Jayhawkler" for 1911 was put on sale and the first evening over three hundred were sold.
STUDENTS ARE HERE.
The meet started this afternoon at 2:30 and it is expected that some classy performances will be pulled off. There were indications of rain this morning but it is not expected that the weather will seriously hinder the meet this afternoon.
This morning at ten o'clock the first contingent of high school students arrived for the track meet this afternoon. A special train of two hundred rooters came from Kansas City and every train is bringing in big loads of students. All trains are being met by members of the fraternities on the hill who are showing all possible courtesy to the visitors.

THEY TAKE A BATH.
A University Trio Rinse Off in Potter's Lake.
Harry Kemp, Don Hendrickson Tim Shotts are the bravest men at the University. High school students who visited us today had them pointed out as possessing more Spartan courage to the square inch than any of the other males who infest Mt. Oread. The reason for this regard by the student body is that these three gentlemen took a quiet little plunge in Potter's lake last Thursday evening and they still live to tell the tale. Harry says his little rinse in the cooling waters was just what he needed for inspiration for another poem. The trio say that their little bath was entirely enjoyable and that the frigid temperature of the water in no way hindered them from indulging in a half hour of aquatic bliss.
Off to Philadelphia.
Mrs. Blanche Lyons, assistant professor of voice, left Thursday for Philadelphia where she will meet the Olmheyer band of Coronado, California. She will tour with this band as soloist during the summer, returning to the University here early in October.
STUDENTS' DAY HELD YESTERDAY
GRIEVANCES OF STUDENT BODY ARE VOICED.
Return of Game to K. C., Revival of Class Scraps and New Grading System are Advocated.
Yesterday morning from ten to twelve o'clock the students of the University expressed their attitude toward certain phases of school life. Students' Day which had its inception nine years ago, was attended by a majority of the student body and an interesting program was given. The University band and the Glee club furnished music. Ralph Spotts, president of the old Student Council reviewed the work that has been done during the tenure of office of the old members. He introduced Arch MaeKinnon, the president of the new council, who expressed the wish that the new members could continue the work started by the outgoing members. Beulah Murphy, president of the Women's Student Government association, spoke on the relation of that body to the young ladies of this school. The endowing of scholarships and the establishing of various forms of entertainment were mentioned as two of the ways in which the association had worked for the girls.
Mat Graham, of the School of Engineering, made a plea for a closer relation between the schools. Regret was expressed that Engineers fail to get much of the common school spirit that is supposed to be in any school. Athletic meets with the other schools were proposed as a means for getting all men on a common basis. He also deprecated the manner in which the class parties have been supported in the past few years. The invasion of the "varsity parties" into our social life has meant a financial loss to the classes.
The School of Pharmacy was represented by Charles Cramer who spoke on influence that the present day Pharmic has in comparison to former years. The sphere of the Pharmie in the commercial world was emphasized.
Gordon Bailey spoke for the Graduate students and deplored the recent senior ruling that Graduates must pay senior class dues.
Fred Lee, the representative of the College, argued for a different grading system in which the plus and minus shall be substituted for the present way of I, II, III. A day on which the Chanceellog might be met by the student body was also proposed.
Harry Allpin of the School of Law, made a strong plea for the return of the Thanksgiving football game to Kansas City, the revival of the old class scraps and a means by which an interview might be more easily obtained with the Chancellor. The relation of the medical man to the University and the need of a closer affiliation between the several schools were discussed by Jesse Cook, on behalf of the School of Medicine.
The emblems for debating and the gold basket balls were not presented owing to the failure of them to arrive.
Entertain Pledges.
The Black Helmets entertained their pledges last night with a dinner at the College Inn. After the dinner speeches were made by Todd Woodbury and Carl Krehbiel, outlining the past work of the society and explaining its plans for the future.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY MAY 20, 1911
THE UNIVERSITY AND RELIGION.
RELIGION that is sectarian and a state institution should ever be kept entirely separate and yet there is such a close relation between our religious activities and our school life that they demand ca.ful consideration.
In its endeavor to fit young men and women for life the University of Kansas recognizes the supreme importance of sound moral character. It also recognizes that religion, interpreted in its broadest sense, makes more powerfully for the development of moral character than does any other single force. The officers and faculty, therefore, not only look with approval upon the religious activities engaged in by the students, but almost without exception give time and money in support of those activities.
As soon as the new student reaches Lawrence, the various religious organizations of the University begin to serve him. Members of these organizations are at the train to welcome him, to assist him in finding a room, and to answer any questions he may ask. Open house is kept by the different associations during the first week of school, and everything in their power is done to make the new student feel at home.
Considerably more than half of the students of the University are members of some religious denomination. From seventy-two to eighty-five of every one hundred students are either members of churches or have a distant preference for some particular church. The University itself is strictly non-sectarian in its attitude, and cordially welcomes religious activity of every kind that tends to strengthen the moral character of the students. The University is responsible for two religious services—the Chapel exercises and the Sunday afternoon Vesper Services—and all students of every creed join in these.
The Young Men's Christian Association, the Young Women's Christian Association, the Volunteer Band of students who do actual missionary work, the Missionary Union, the Religious Philosophical Union, the Christian Science Society, the Knights of Columbus with its fifty Catholic men, the Bible chair with its course of lectures, the Westminster hall, provided by the Presbyterians of the state, all show the variety of religious attractions that are offered to every student.
Observation in other institutions, inquiry and accurate information from teachers and officers in other colleges of the state show that the moral and spiritual life of the University of Kansas is fully as strong and pure and wholesome as it is anywhere else. But the University is a public institution and as such cannot stand as the solicitor for any religious sect or religious belief. Over twenty different religious sects and denominations, running the whole gamut of religious thinking, are represented here. While it is true that the religious elements of the University are extremely diverse, it nevertheless remains true that the overwhelming mass of its student body comes from Christian homes and are affiliated with the religious bodies that have from the beginning made up the great mass of historic Christianity.
This institution is therefore, in fact strongly Christian, and its freedom leads to the most valuable kind of religious life on the part of those representing the great religious denominations of our time, while at the same time other religious faiths find the same congenial atmosphere for the development of the best side of their life, the combined result being greater tolerance, greater generosity and cooperation, and a sounder religious life on the part of all.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The cultivation of a spirit of hospitality by the University fraternities toward those high school students who are visiting us today, shows a proper attitude. It is often the case that when we have visitors from our high schools over the state they feel out of place and ill at ease. A little display of courtesy will cause these same people to imbibe some of the University spirit and is bound to create in them a desire to attend this institution.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Students' Day at the University is the one day during the school year on which the attitude of the student body may be clearly expressed. The addresses yesterday by the representatives of the several schools showed a variety of questions that have arisen between the student body and the faculty or the University administration during the past year. The work of the Student Council has been a credit to the institution and in the same line of work the Women's Student Government Association has done much towards developing

a spirit of harmony and geniality and general understanding among the girls of the University.
The exercises yesterday plainly indicated that in several instances there is a dissatisfaction over certain rules and regulations that have lately been imposed. The transfer of the Thanksgiving football game from Kansas City to Lawrence or Columbia received especial attention.
Students' Day in its main conception is sure to become the leaven by which a better understanding will arise between students and faculty. But there are several things that must be done away with before the exercises become a really great influence on student sentiment. The main trouble yesterday was that in several instances the addresses were too long to really have the desired effect. A short, concise statement of the situation, without any attempt at apology is what is required. In a program that is somewhat long, care must be taken by the speakers that no unnecessary time in consumed.
Aside from length of the exercises and the marked manifestations of unrest by the audience toward the conclusion of the program, Students' Day was a success. With the elimination of these things it will not be long until this day will occupy the position in school life that its usefulness deserves.

INVITATION MEET THIS AFTERNOON
BEST HIGH SCHOOL ATH LETES ARE COMPETING.
University Has Also Supervised Successful Contests in Basketball And Debate.
The elimination of the activity of the high schools of the state will have been reached this spring when the annual Invitation track meet is held on McCook field this afternoon. Some of the best track athletes in the Missouri Valley representing both Kansas and Missouri will take part in the meet this afternoon. The men from Central won the Missouri Valley high school championship at Lincoln in the Missouri Valley high school meet there last Saturday and they won by the largest score that the meet has ever been made in the history of the athletic relation between the schools of the states of Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska.
Twice before, the schools of the state have sent their representatives to Lawrence to take part in activities under the supervision of the University. Last winter, the basket ball teams played a series of games on the floor in Robinson gymnasium with the result that the team representing the Lawrence high school won all the games for which they were scheduled in the tournament and took the championship cup.
During the winter, the extension department of the University sent package libraries to the students of the high schools of the state who were preparing for their commencement orations and the debates which were held by the high schools of the Kansas High School Debating League. After a process of elimination, which covered a period of three months, Ashland and Montgomery were left for the final debate at Lawrence May 5. Ashland won the state championship in debate. The eighth annual interscholastic track meet resulted in a victory for the Lawrence squad who won the meet by a score of 51 points, their nearest competitor being the Kansas City, Kansas men who scored 14 points. Several of the men who made the best records in the first interscholastic meet will be entered in the track meet today and the time made by some of the men who will run in the short and long races is such that several records may be broken.
These activities of the high school students in connection with the University cement a firmer relation between the University and the secondary schools of the state and afford a chance for the men of the high schools to become acquainted with the people at the University.

You can make more money selling these traps than you can at anything else this summer. Write us today and reserve your territory.

Y.M.C.A.WELCOME NEW STUDENTS
ENTERTAINMENTS PLANNED FOR FIRST WEEK.
Employment Secured For Those Desiring it—Advice on Rooms And Boarding Houses.
During the first week of school all the trains will be met and the new men will be taken in charge by the old men and helped to find rooms and boarding places. During August a thorough canvas of the city is made for rooms and boarding places as well as for employment. These lists are kept at Myers hall where they are open to all men, whether new or old. A list is also kept at the Registrar's office in Fraser hall.
The University Y. M. C. A building is now being enlarged and will be ready to serve as headquarters for the freshmen when they arrive in Lawrence next September. The headquarters are in Myers hall on Mount Oread where the freshmen will always be welcomed and made to feel at home.
Myers hall during the week of registration will be open every evening and special entertainment will be provided. In this way it is hoped to make the freshmen feel glad that they are here and also to forget that they are not at home. The first big entertainment of the association attended by all the men and faculty members, will be given on Friday evening, September 15. Two weeks after this the joint reception with the Y. W. C. A. will be held Throughout the year other parties are given at frequent intervals. Every Thursday evening for forty-five minutes meetings are held which are addressed by prominent men of the state and country. These are always looked forward to with interest.
A special employment bureau is maintained in connection with the association work and here the students may secure work waiting tables, washing dishes, carrying papers, doing odd jobs about the new houses being built, and other kinds of work. During the present year 155 odd jobs and 61 permanent positions were filled. This department, as well as the association work, is in charge of a general secretary, H. C. Herman or "Dad," as the fellows soon learn to call him. For any special information a letter dropped to him at 1300 Oread Avenue will be gladly answered. He is in Myers hall throughout the school year and no student ever hesitates to go to him and ask for information or assistance in any trouble that he may find himself He and the other fellows are always at the new men's service and only ask for an opportunity to show that they are desirous or making the freshmen feel at home.
Will Lecture on "Passion Play."
Fred E. Lee will deliver his illustrated lecture on "The Passion Play of 1910 as I Saw It." Sunday evening at 8 p. m. at the Christian church in this city. Lee took in the play at Oberammergam last summer. During the past few months he has delivered this lecture to over three thousand people in connection with High schools, churches, and Y.M.C.A. No admission will be charged. Lee will also preach at the morning service at 11 a.m.

HOW TO REGISTER NEXT SEPTEMBER
ENROLLMENT BEGINS OFFICIALLY SEPTEMBER 13.
Eleven Men And Eleven Women Advisors Will Help Freshmen Get Started.
When the first year student arrives in Lawrence in September he should immediately proceed to the "Hill" with his high school entrance credits and register. In the registrar's office the freshman has his credits examined, and fills out various information slips. After the registration comes the actual enrollment in classes but no student will be permitted to enroll without first showing his receipts from the registrar.
For the freshmen there will be eleven men and eleven women advisers. It is the work of these men and women to give advice concerning enrollment to students individually. The work of the adviser does not end, however, with merely helping the student to fill out enrollment cards; they have supervision over the student during the entire year.
Enrollment will take place in the gymnasium beginning officially Wednesday Sept. 13 and extending through Thursday and Friday. The advisers will be in their places on these days from 8 to 12 and from 2 to 5.
"The advisers," says Prof. L. E. Sisson, "desire to assist the students in every way possible. They hope that the students will consult them not only about school work, but about any matters in which the advice of an older friend might be helpful."
Star May Sale
After making out the enrollment cards, the student goes to the assignment committee from which assignment slips are obtained showing at what hours and in what rooms the student is to attend classes. The student will then be ready for classes on Monday, Sept. 18.
Registration and enrollment should both be completed in two or three hours depending on the regularity of the student's credits.

PROF. J. W. YOUNG TO DARTSMOUTH
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, MAY 23, 1911
HEAD OF DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS RESIGNS.
More Opportunities in the East His Reason—Came Here From University of Illinois.
Prof. J. W. Young head of the department of Mathematics, has resigned his position to go to Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, where he will accept a similar position. His letter of resignation was received by the faculty last week. He gave various reasons for resigning. At Dartmouth there is a greater opportunity for the Mathematical department as more funds are provided than here.

Prof. Young went east the first of May to look over the situation and offer and stayed there for a week before returning. He will pack his household goods in about ten days. However he will not go to New Hampshire until fall as he will spend the summer in Chicago where he will teach in the summer session of the University of Chicago.

PARMELEE AND VAWTER THE APPOINTEEs.
Julius Carpen Fellowship Will be Made a Multiple—Duncan's Last Trip This Year.
Professor Robert Kennedy Duncan, who is at the head of the department of Industrial Research Chemistry at the Universities of Kansas and Pittsburg arrived in town this morning on his last visit to Kansas before the close of school. The nominations to several of the industrial fellowships that have been recently established have been made by Professor Duncan and were announced this morning.
Paul Parmelee, of the department of Chemistry of the University who was graduated in '08, has been nominated for one of the Armour fellowships and his work in that connection will require his pres nee at the University of Pittsburg. The fellowship yields an income of $1,200 a year. W. E. Vawter, a senior in the School of Engineering and who has been taking special work in the department of Chemistry, was nominated for the Armstrong Fellowship that was established at the University of Kansas a month ago. Mr. Vawter will work with asphaltum material and his fellowship will yield an income of $750 a year.
Professor Duncan is now engaged in making the arrangements for the conversion of the Julius Carpen Fellowship held by L. V. Redman from a single to a multiple fellowship. The work that Mr. Redman has been doing with wood varnish has proved to be of such consequence that it was deemed better results could be obtained by the establishment of a fellowship in which more men will be engaged.

CLASSICAL EDUCATION.
The recent agitation started by Governor Stubbs over the abolishing of a portion of our Latin and Greek in the high school curriculum and the substitution of the more practical subjects is evidently not the only one of its kind. The Ithaca Daily News published in New York contains this week an article on the so-called "classical education question" which has been found in their schools.
Dr. Lewis L. Forman, of the Ithaca schools recently sent a letter to fifty professors of Cornell University in which he asked their opinion as to the relative importance of Greek and Latin in the high school courses. The answers of these men showed plainly that these branches were preferred by them and that any further elimination of them would in their estimation be a hindrance rather than a help.
These answers would not be so interesting except for the fact that among the fifty professors who answered there were included men from all of the courses that are offered in any University. Dr. Andrew White, former president of Cornell University, states that in his opinion the study of Greek even though it be through the Greek reader, makes the probabilities of success in the professional study of law, medicine, theology, teaching and all the natural sciences decidedly increased. The list of professors includes those who teach romance languages, neurology and vertebrate zoology, ancient history, mechanical engineering, oratory law, mathematics, psychology, philosophy, entomology, electrical engineering, economics, drawing and painting, architecture, botany, and physical culture. In view of the variety of the subjects taught and the expression of the professors that a study of Latin and Greek helps in a thorough mastery of these subjects, it is well to consider the case in our own state. The question is not that to know the root of a Greek verb and to be able to translate fourteen pages of Cicero will make one a better student in the department of physical culture. The fact is that the men that take these things are being fitted for something better and when they get out in the world the classical knowledge will tend to make them have a better grasp on affairs. A study
of a fundamental that is not subject to the rapid changes of a moving and progressive generation adds a solidity to education that is altogether desirable. The answers of the fifty Cornell professors are probably indicative of a similar feeling among the pedagogical coterie of the country.
But there is no doubt that over emphasis of the classies will do more harm than a lack of sufficient emphasis. At the present time our educational system seems to be carrying all of the classies in its curriculum that is necessary but it is not too much. The development of the practical side of education is needed yet it ought not be made at the expense of the classies. What seems to be needed is adjustment that will assure a harmonious and beneficial working of the two ideas.
Harry Kemp says that his plunge into the new body of water on the campus-Potter's lake was just what he needed for inspiration for another poem. If an occurrence of this kind is likely to happen again perhaps it would be well to keep a night watchman down at the new lake
With a campus of 164 acres at the University of Kansas many of the high school graduates who come here next fall are not likely to grow homesick for the farm.

KUPFER WINS CASE.
Is Awarded $501 Damages in Moot Trial.
The Kupfer-Phillips ease has been tried in the Moot court of the Law school with unsatisfactory results to the defendant. A. O. Andrews and Leonard Hamner were attorneys for the plaintiff, while Clem Parker and H. A. Burgess pleaded for the defendant. Professor Higgins acted as judge.
The case was well argued on both sides and the jury had a hard time deciding on a verdict. Judgment was finally returned in favor of Kupfer. He was given $200 actual damages and $301 exemplary damages.
Phillips however was awarded $200 exemplary damages for set off. He at once filed a motion for a new trial which was granted him.

LAST Y. M. MEETING.
The last Y. M. C. A. meeting of the school year which was held last Thursday evening was addressed by Dr. Naismith. He discussed the association and its relation to athletics. "The Y. M. C. A. influence more than anything else," he said, "has raised the standard of morals in athletes to its present standard. Contestants formerly played to win whether by fair means or not. This was due in large part to having as trainers old and retired prize fighters. Now the trainers are men who are in the game for the love of it and though they play to win they use only fair and square methods. Stagg of Chicago is one of this type. He studied for the ministry but is an expert baseball and football player and coach.
Dr. Naismith Tells About Influence of Association on Sports.
"There are three fundamental principles which form the basis of the Y. M. C. A. In the first place the salvation of the whole man is looked after and in doing this it is necessary to organize and make use of the opportunities that might be used but are now overlooked. Secondly the association is an organization whose prime motive is to help others instead of only helping its own members which is the prevailing idea in most clubs and societies. Thirdly the Y. M. C. A. believes in using any means that are legitimate and square in accomplishing its purpose. A city would undoubtedly be better off without billiard and pool rooms but it is practically impossible to drive them out of existence. Instead the best that can be done, is for each member of the association, individually and collectively, to use all possible influence in raising the morals of the pool room. This is why many of the newer Y. M. C. A. buildings in the cities are having pool and billiard rooms."
In closing Dr. Naismith explained that the association emblem which is a triangle enclosed in a circle. The points of the triangle represent the spirit, mind, and body while the whole circle represents an all around Christian man.

ABOUT SOCIETY COLUMNS
Bertha Hempstead of Topeka State Journal Addresses Class
Miss Bertha Hempstead of the Topeka State Journal spoke before the reporting class Monday morning on the subject of society news. She said that society news is unique in that it is found everywhere while other runs of the paper are found in only a few places. In getting the social events, it is necessary to know people and to remember their faces and names.
The speaker advised that the society reporter go down town during shopping hours, so as to observe the latest styles and to find out social engagements.
Notice to Wrestlers.
Miss Hempstead considers the engagement of two popular young people as the most interesting part of a society column and so makes a great effort to scoop rival papers in all such events.

FISH HATCHERY TO BE IMPROVED
REGENTS ARE IN REGULAR SESSION TODAY
Committee on Hatcheries Reports Scientific Improvements Needed-Glenn Given Absence.
All the members of the Board of Regents are meeting today to take up regular routine business. The fish hatchery committee composed of Regents Foley Kimball, and Elwood, reported the results of an investigation made by them together with Prof. L. L Dyche, warden of the hatchery. Prof. Dyche had urged that in order to have a thoroughly up-to-improvements must be made and date and modern hatchery certain several tracts of land must be acquired. The committee reported that there were about fourteen acres of water in ponds and tanks that were supplied from the Ninnescah river which was ordinarily full of pure and clean water. It was pointed out however that the feeding and draining of these ponds was too primitive and that the intake of the water was below the outlet of the city sewers and that the banks of the mill race were in a badly dilapidated condition. All these things tended to make the water for the hatchery contaminated and polluted.
It was proposed that the state either entirely dispose of the hatchery or that the plant be enlarged and remodeled common surprise with the dignity of Kansas. According to the committee the appropriation by the last legislature was sufficient to place the plant, upon a scientific working basis and the warden was authorized to attempt to purchase at least eight acres of land to the west and seven acres of swamp land to the south that may be used as a reservoir.
Besides discussion over the hatchery the regents grantee Prof. P. A. Glenn of the department of entomology a leave of absence for six months.
The recommendation of Dean Sudler of the School of Medicine was adopted thart the University Hospital at Rosedale be closed during the summer months. The building of the new hospital at Rosedale will cause much confusion and it was deemed advisable to close for the summer.
The committee on health recommended that the University discontinue the infirmary in the building now used. It was decided to fit up the house now occupied by Prof. Flint and use it for an infirmary next fall. Grayson & Reinsch of Lawrence were granted the contract for the metal roofing for the power plant and the mechanical laboratory. The contract for the corridors, smoke stacks, steps, and airways of the hospital at Rosedale was let to Chas. Stillwell of Rosedale for $2,546.50.

MINING ENGINEERS SECURE RESCUE CAR
AT REQUEST OF STUDENTS EXHIBITION IS PLANNED
Equipped With Modern Apparatus—Used to Minimize Accidents in Mines.
The rescue car of the United States Bureau of Mines will be in Lawrence on May 25. This is one of several cars maintained by the Bureau of Mines for rescue work in case of mine disasters. It is equipped with all kinds of modern apparatus suitable for use in mines in which explosions have taken place or in which fires are burning. The use of these cars is the most recent effort of the government to minimize the fatal results of coal mine disasters. The cars are stationed at central points in the different coal mining districts and can quickly reach any mine at which they are needed.
The cars are equipped with oxygen helmets, pulmotors, safety lamps, and hospital supplies. The oxygen helmet is an apparatus by the use of which the wearer is supplied with fresh air for breathing and is protected from the poisonous gases resulting from fires and explosions. The supply of oxygen lasts for about two hours and until it is exhausted the wearer is entirely independent of the surrounding air. It is thus possible to reach parts of the mines which would otherwise be inaccessible.
The pulmotor is used to establish respiration in cases of suffocation. It is attached to the mouth of the sufferer and, by alternate pressure and suction, fills the lungs with fresh air or oxygen and empties them. The effect is far superior to that obtained by the manipulations commonly employed in cases of drowning or suffocation.
This car is now making a tour of the mining districts of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas and will be stationed at some central point. It visits Lawrence at the invitation of the Department of Mining Engineering for the purpose of demonstrating the use of rescue apparatus. It will be open to all visitors and demonstrations will be given for the instruction of students. It is hoped that large numbers will visit the car. Later announcement will be made of the location and the hours of demonstrations.
The crew consists of men trained in mine rescue work and the treatment of the victims of mine explosions.
MEDIGS ARE WATCHFUL
Spies Met With Water From Upper Window.
It has always been conceded that the Medies are the worst "cut ups" on the hill, and the other night, according to the story of two students, they made good their reputation. The two men in question, decided that they would like to inquire into the arts and mysteries of dissection. They had heard many times of the rude way in which visitors to the dissecting rooms were treated. Stories were afloat of inquisitive persons emerging from this room with all sorts of human material stuffing their pockets. Not wishing to go through a like experience for each of them possessed only one suit of clothes and yet desiring greatly to satisfy their curiosity, they put their heads together and laid plans. They would creep up under cover of darkness and, through the basement windows, watch the Medies in their wild nightly orgies.
Shortly after dusk they crept softly around the south end of Fraser and made their way towards the dissecting room of the Medical building. A watchful eye, however, had perceived them and preparations for a reception were immediately made. Already the spies had dropped flat on the grass in front of one of the basement windows, and were eagerly devouring the sights within.
On the second floor, a window directly above the watchers was gently raised. One end of a hose slid silently over the window sill and a stream of water spouted forth. The silent forms at once became lively and quickly disappeared around a corner of the building.
Charles Ebnother, a sopnomore, has pledged Phi Beta Pi one of the two medical fraternities.

FREER COLLECTION ON EXHIBIT HERE
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1911
RARE GROUP OF PAINTINGS PROMISED.
Paintings by Whistler, Dewing, Tryon, Weir, Hassam and Others Included.
Prof. W, A. Griffith of the department of drawing and painting received a letter from Charles L. Freer of Detroit, Mich., this morning, bearing the news that Mr. Freer has decided to send a portion of his collection of paintings for exhibition at the University of Kansas next February. This insures the success of the next annual exhibition, as the Freer collection contains some of the best art in the United States. The only thing the University has ever had which is in the same class is the Carnegie collection which was exhibited here in 1903.
The Freer collection will occupy a separate room in the exhibition in the new Administration building. It will comprise one-half of the picture show, the other half being devoted to a collection of American paintings. Mr. Freer has not yet decided just what pictures he will send, but said in his letter that works by Whisttler, Dewing, Tryon, Weir, Hassam, and one or two others would be included in the collection. He has specified in close detail the installation of the pictures. The floor of the room in which they are shown must be a dull green, and the walls must be white. This room will be open only in the day time, as the pictures are delicate tone paintings and cannot be shown by artificial light.
The paintings of the Freer collection will be exhibited only as the University of Kansas. Prof. W.A. Griffith has been trying for a long time to get Mr. Freer to consent to exhibit some of the pictures and was met with a refusal several times. The letter which he received this morning naturally was a gratifying one, assuring, as it did, a great art exhibit to the Missouri Valley next February.
Charles L. Freer is a millionaire and art connoisseur of Detroit. He has presented his immense collection to the government. The gift has been accepted and at Mr. Freer's death the paintings will be placed in a building in Washington for which the donor of the gifts has set aside funds and will be administered in connection with the national museum. The paintings which will be sent to Lawrence form only a small part of the collection but will comprise some of the best works that Mr. Freer has.

Notice.
PROF. J. D. NEWTON A DEAN AT LOYOLA
RESIGNS TODAY TO HEAD ENGINEERING DEPT.
Will Take up His Duties in Chi cago School in September— Here Five Years.
Today Prof. J. D. Newton landed to the Chancellor his esignation as professor of civil engineering at the University. He has accepted a position as Dean of the School of Engineering of Loyola University in Chicago, Illinois, and will begin his work there in September.
Loyola. University is an outgrowth of St. Ignatius College and has been in existence but two years. Last year it had an enrollment of 1607 and the outlook for increased enrollment is bright. The School of Engineering has just been established and Michael Cudahay, the wealthy packer, has endowed a beautiful building. The campus of the University covers 27 acres along the lake shore and the entire institution is in a flourishing condition. There are at the present time 127 members in the faculty.
Professor Newton came to this University five years ago. He is a graduate from Cornell and has had much practical engineering experience, having been an officer in the United States navy. The position that he takes is far more remunerative than his present one and the opportunities for advancement are great.

INDUSTRIAL FELLOWS WIN
Defeat Chemical Engineers in Fast Ball Game.
In one of the fastest ball games of the season on MeCook field Tuesday afternoon, the Chemical Engineers met defeat at the hands of the Industrial Fellows. After a few hours of heated discussion B. F. Stelter of the department of English was chosen as the judge of balls and strikes.
The game lasted for five full innings and Pitcher MacKey, of the Industrial Fellows held the Chemicals to a few poor and ill placed hits. The Fellows proved to be stronger with the stick than their opponents and succeeded in collecting a number of safe hits off of Areh MacKinnon, the tosser of the Chemicals. When the uproar was over and the score keeper could be found the result stood 8 to 5 with the Fellows claiming the long end.
Robert K. Duncan, head of the departments of Chemistry in both Kansas and Pittsburg Universities was the spectator of honor.

TEAM IS OFF FOR CONFERENCE MEET
ANNUAL MISSOURI VALLEY CONTEST THIS WEEK.
Missouri is Doped to Win— 18 Men Will Make The Trip.
For the fourth time the Kansas track team composed of 18 men, Trainer Burgess, Coach Hamilton, and Manager Lansdon will go to Des Moines tomorrow night ta take part in the annual Missouri Valley Conference meet which will be held there tomorrow and Saturday. Last year the Jayhawkers won the meet by a large score and the team that will contest for Kansas this year will do all in their power to win the second consecutive championship of the valley.
The men who made the trip are: Captain Hamilton, C. Davis, Schwab, Black, Gribble, Fairchild, H. Woodbury, Patterson, Kraus, Watson, Osborne, Murray, C. Woodbury, Parker, French, Wilson, and Ammons.
Coach Hamilton said this morning that the team would be somewhat crippled in the sprints by the officers of Roberts who left school to take a position with the government. "It looks like a contest between Missouri and Kansas with the edge of the dope in the favor of the Tiger team. However to a certain extent the Nebraska men and Missouri star runners will work against one another while the points that Kansas will take are comparatively certain. All the men are in fine condition for the meet and I expect them to do good work on the field there Saturday afternoon," said Hamilton
The trio heat of the dashes including the quarter mile run tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 and the final races of the meet will be run on Saturday afternoon. The men will leave Lawrence on the Union Pacific this evening at six o'clock and at Kansas City they will take a special sleeper at 9:30 which will set in the depot for the men so that they will be able to obtain plenty of sleep this evening. Coach Hamilton will make the athletes retire immediately as soon as the car is set in the depot so that they will be in prime condition for the trial heats on the morrow.
PHI GAMS WIN FIST
Take One Championship Game
From Sigma Chis.
The Phi Gamma Delta ball team defeated the Sigma Chis Tuesday afternoon by the score of 3 to 2. This was the first of the three games which will be played between the two teams to decide the championship of the Pan-Hellenic league.
Both teams played good ball and the game was hotly contested throughout. The Phi Gam victory was largely due to the good pitching of Trickett. Sommers also played a good game for the same team at catch. The Sigma Chi battery was Wilson and Ahrens. The next championship game will be played Saturday.
Last Chapel Tomorrow
The last chapel exercises of the year on Friday morning will be addressed by the Chancellor. He has something to say that will be of especial interest to the whole university. Part of his talk will be for the seniors and it is expected that all of them will wear their caps and gowns.
Caps And Gowns Tomorrow.
All caps and gowns will be distributed at the check stand tomorrow after chapel.

Are you going to stay over for commencement? It has always been the custom of the student body to leave school as soon as it is over and as a result the graduating exercises find only the seniors and a few alumni here. This year plans have been made for a class day and it is desired that all who can will stay over for the exercises. The regatta on Potter's lake promises to be interesting and Dr. Naismith has organized a number of class teams who will put on a number of exhibitions! Fancy stunts and novel features will be tried out. Monday of commencement week will be given over to the classes and band concerts, the water sports and a big picnic in the evening has been planned. This year something new has been started and there ought to be a majority of the student body stay for the exercises.
Just what is the position of the Graduate student in school life? At the Students' Day exercise it was argued that the Graduates have no interest in the senior class and ought not be made to bear the burden of the class graduation. It seems however, that it is just for all those who receive degrees to pay for the expenses of commencement week. The Graduates occupy a distinctive position in the school
life but there is a common relation between them and the seniors when it is time to receive degrees. The action of the seniors in making Graduates bear their share of the expense seems perfectly fair.
The announcement of two new industrial fellowships for Kansas, calls attention to the work of Professor R. K. Dunean. Several of the University students who have gone cast to accept these positions report that the schools of the east show much interest in the industrial work by the Kansas men. The industrial fellowships are the best advertisement the University has ever had.

They attended the city schools and later the University of Kansas at Lawrence. The wedding is announced for Wednesday evening June 7 at the home of the bride's parents. From the "Saita Journal."
Miss Peck will be remembered as attending the School of Fine Arts here last year. She is a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. Mr. Dodge is an Acacia of the Lawrence chapter and graduated from the School of Engineering in '07.

Baker Took First in Track
Embarrassing Situation Caused by Two Much Confidence.
Miss Ethel McNitt of Washington will spend the week end at the Theta house with Lena Morrow.
Out under the stars the girls slept peacefully and the cool night breezes blew around them. But the alarm clock never rang. The girls did not awake until shouts of some boys playing ball in the street below aroused them. The undutiful clock in the corner said 7:30. Hornors of horrors they had an eight o'clock class—but how would they ever get up and in through the window? Urgent need, however brought a happy thought and rolling themselves up in their blankets they retreated in true Indian style.
Did you ever sleep out on a porch roof when the weather was hot? Were you ever in an embarrassing situation? Two girls, who live at the corner of Haneck and Kentucky, can answer yes to both of these questions, and it happened just the other night.
It was a hot night. Ice water and fans had failed to make them comfortable. Then one of them thought of the porch roof. When it was dark they carried their quilts and blankets out on the roof and make a bed on the red painted tin. In the corner near them an alarm clock was placed and set for five—for porch sleepers must arise before daylight and hike to the seclusion of their rooms.

LARGE CROWD AT RECITAL.
Miss Rankin Gave Charming Perform-ance Last Night.
A large crowd of University and town people were out to enjoy the graduating expression recital of Miss Gretchen Rankin last evening in Fraser hall. Miss Rankin showed herself an accomplished reader, and in every way came up to the expectations of her many friends.
She rendered her selections in a simple and unaffected way, and her pleasing personality showed itself in each number. The rostrum was decorated with palms and roses, and during the evening the reader received many beautiful bouquets.
Miss Rankin was able assisted in the program by Mrs. Matson, contralto, and Miss Maude Cook, accompanist. The ushers were Edna Gafford, Nelle Greenelees, Miss Gibbs, Helen Morrow, and Fay Chisham. The program: Reading—

PUBLIC SPEAKING IS NOT A GIFT
PRACTICE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT, SAYS GESELL
Thorough Mastery of Subject Necessary-Little Place For Fine Speaking Today.
The following suggestions on the art of public speaking have been prepared by Prof. G. A. Gessell of the department of public speaking:
Any one may become a good speaker, in fact almost any one may become a very good speaker. It requires temperament to become an orator; but the world is fast losing interest and confidence in the orator. Public speaking involves hard work, contemplation and practice. "Most men can be trained to think upon their feet," says Beecher, "but by disuse many lose the power God has given them. Though a man be born to genius, a natural reasoner, these endowments give him but the outlines of himself. The filling up demands incessant, painstaking, steady work." Public speaking is not a gift. The most important "element to success is practice.
THE THEME.
The choice of a subject for an ad dress is of primary importance. Much of our public speaking is ineffective because the subjects are too inclusive hackneyed, abstract, academic, and not adapted to the speaker or the occasion. The following are suggestive questions that should be answered satisfactorily in the selection of a subject: Am I personally interested in the theme? Can I interest my hearers? What is the purpose of the speech? Has the subject freshness? Can I speak with some degree of authority? Is the subject definite? Does the subject lend itself to conviction and persuasion?
The popular magazines have learned that the public are interested in people like themselves rather than in mere facts or philosophy. A speech should have as few underlying ideas as possible. It should develop one or two. A big idea amplified clarified, and demonstrated by illustration will live where an address covering more ground will be lost. The subject matter should be built up so that the hearer will take away a picture that he will remember, and, if possible, never wholly forget.
PREPARATION.
Thorough mastery of the subject is the first necessity. Not a casual, unsuperficial knowledge, but a knowledge that is a part of the speaker. One should know enough of the subject to talk twice as long as the allotted time; he should know it so well that he cannot be disconcerted by a question, that he can begin at the end and work to the beginning as easily as from the beginning to the end. The baseball fan knows his subject as should the public speaker.
There are two methods of preparation. One is the method of writing the speech and its subsequent memorization. For very important occasions this method is desirable. Many of the great forensics prepared for special occasions were written and committed to memory. The Phi Beta Kappa Address of Wendell Phillipps, the Bunker Hill Oration of Webster and the great speeches of Everett and Grady were memorized. The objections to the method are however obvious. The limited time for preparation makes impossible the use of this laborious method. Again speaking memoriter is not conducive to directness. Memorized speeches are not free and easy; they are often mechanical. Self confidence is an invaluable asset in a public speaker. The speaker who must rely on memorized speeches is never sure of himself; he invariably loses control of himself when he is confronted with a situation that demands impromptu speaking.
The other method is extempore speaking. The extempore speaker is full of his subject. He has carefully worked over the material and has a definite outline of the things he wants to cover. The speech is however not set, for the phraseology is worked out on the platform. "I first read all I can on the subject," says William J. Bryan.
"examining the question from all stand-points; then prepare an outline dividing the subject into heads and subheads, then fill in the detaits. I seldom write a speech complete. Where I have the subject thoroughly in hand, it is easier to use the language which comes at the moment than to remember set phraseology." By this method the mind is relieved of the burden of concern and self assurance is given the speaker. The literal declaration of speech is far less free, far less effective and of far less advantage in training than the frequent outpouring of a speech which has been prepared and soaked but not memorized.
ARRANGEMENT.
A speech should be grouped so that it divides itself into sections and so long together that disclosure follows naturally and easily frosts beginning to end. It should be blocked out in the speaker's mind in chunks, each of which is distinct and complete. The discourse should be visualized. It should convey a picture to the mind.
SIMPLICITY.
The first rule of composition and all expression should be simplicity. Effectiveness can only be secured when the mind of the auditor is put to the minimum of effort in following the speaker or writer. There is virtue in the statement of the speaker who said that he always prepared his speech as if he were going to deliver it before a six year old audience. He had to know the subject well himself to make it very clear.
DELIVERY.
There is little place for "fine speaking" today. People do not trust it, they do not really like it. They want to be instructed and if possible in an easy manner. A common truism effectively delivered is far more telling than a wise statement badly mangled. In places other than a large hall the best of all styles of delivery is the conversational one. This permits familiarity. It is easy and effective. Delivery involves clear communication, simple sentences, careful modulation and a sense of reserve power. A colloquial style is often very effective. Awkwardness is forgotten in a speaker of effective delivery. Some of our most effective speakers have been badly handicapped with uncouth appearance.
More than anything else is the need of earnestness, of conviction of purpose. The average audience will detect the absence of these qualities. They will tolerate an earnest speaker better than a merely good speaker. Conviction is a far different thing from noise. The earnestness comes from feeling and conviction, from preparation and thought.
Finally expression in any form must have fervor, simplicity and orderliness. It must not be a recitation but a drawing upon a store house. There must be conviction and there must be warmth. There must of course be truth. These qualities of themselves will carry a speech.

TOR OF CYCLOPEDIA
Book Will Deal With History In Systematized Way—Many Special Topics Included.
A cyclopedia of the history of the state of Kansas is being prepared and will be published within a year. The entire manuscript for the history is under the editorial supervision of Frank W. Blackmar, professor of Sociology and Economics and dean of the Graduate School. The work differs from the ordinary history in that it treats of the entire achievement of the state in every line of life activities.
"Probably none of the United States presents a more interesting and thrilling history than Kansas. The early expedition of Francisco Vasquez de Coronado in search of the mythical city of Quivira with its fabled wealth; an account of the Indian tribes which inhabited the region prior to the advent of the permanent white settler; the history of the territory as part of the French and Spanish province of Louisiana; the Louisiana purchase; the expeditions of Lewis and Clark, Lieut. Zebulon M. Pike and others; the organization of the territory of Kansas; the famous "Border War;" the admission of the state into the Union; the part Kansas played in the great Civil war, and her subsequent industrial and social progress, all combine to form a story as entrenching as any to be found in the Arabian Nights."
In the year 1911 Kansas celebrates the semi-centennial of her admission into the Union of the American states. It has therefore been deemed an appropriate time for the preparation of a historical work, setting forth in cyclopedic form the principal events, that have occurred in Kansas from the earliest visit of the white men to the present day.
It is believed that the reason Kansans know so little of the history of their state is that they have not time to read the present histories. These books are all very long and are written in the regular order of events. It is the purpose of the cyclopedic form of history, of which Prof. Blackmar is editor, to present a book which will be interesting and also serve as a reference volume. This is an age of indexes and definitions and much valuable time is frequently lost in searching for some historical fact that ought to be readily attainable. It has been said, "If history can be made immediately accessible, without in any way impairing its accuracy and readableness, a forward movement has been made in popularizing its study."
Besides taking up the principal events which have taken place in Kansas the new history will treat a large number of special subjects, such as: Agriculture, horticulture, banking, manufacturing, newspapers, railroads, geology, state institutions, constitutional history, historical sketches of counties, cities, and towns and Universities and colleges. Besides these topics a concise historical account of each governor's administration, with biographical sketch of the governor will be included. Biographical mention will be made of a large number of persons who have left the impress of their lives on the state's history.
The history will be published in two royal octavo volumes bound in half leather. A supplementary volume will be included which will be devoted to selected personal history and reminiscence. The work is being gotten out by the Standard Publishing Company of Chicago.

LABORATORY TO COST $7,500
Three Story Building Will be Built This Summer.
The clay modeling laboratory which will be constructed this summer just south of and attached to Haworth hall is to cost $74,500 and will be a three story building. The money was appropriated by the last legislature and the location was decided on at the recent meeting of the Board of Regents. The building will be 24 by 60 feet and will be used for research work, principally by Prof. Erasmus Haworth, head of the department of Geology and Mining.
The research work will be for the purpose of discovering new uses for Kansas clay and shale. In the basement will be the kilns, dryers and machinery. The third floor will not be finished this summer because of lack of funds with which to buy the machinery and other instruments. Until more appropriations are secured it will be used as a store room.
On the second floor will be located the chemical laboratories, a room for microscopes, another for balances, two physical laboratories and a well equipped library.
In sections of Kansas there are immense deposits of clays and shales that are well suited for the manufacture of pottery, terra cotta, ornamental brick, tiling, and probably glass. Until the completion of this building there will have been no adequate place in the state for sufficient research work. As a result the terra cotta used in the state is shipped in, as well as most of the ornamental bricks, and many of the materials used in making glass.
The laboratories will also give University students a place for research work and they will be given credit for such work.
PAY UNIVERSITY A VISIT
Lincoln High School Graduates on Inspection Tour.
Seventeen members of the graduating class of the Lincoln High school, under the chapronage of Principal and Mrs. R.E.Long visited the University yesterday.
The plan of visiting the educational institutions of the state originated early this spring, and in order to defray the expenses of the trip, the seniors gave a play in their home town, with additional performances at a number of nearby points. Their tour has taken them to the Kansas Wesleyan, K. S. A. C., the State Normal, Emporia College, K. U. and Washburn. Some time was also spent in Kansas City, Kan., and Leavenworth, viewing the different charitable and remedial institutions supported by the state.
The members of the party were: Jennie Bishop, Myrtle Miller, Blanche Burt, Jean Leslie, Ethel Colden, Rita Stinson, Mildred Murphy, Sylvia Anderson, Fredia Knoek, Clay Simpson, Mormie Frey, Charles Grovesnor, Clarence Stevenson, Martin Wilson, Henry Wiekes, Harry Hall, Mike Healy, and Mr. and Mrs. R.

LECTURER HERE FOR SUMMER SESSION
SNEDDEN WILL SPEAK ON
EDUCATIONAL SUBJECTS
He is State Commissioner of Education in Massachusetts— A Noted Lecturer.
David Snedden, state commissioner of Education in Massachusetts and other leading schoolmen of the state will give a series of lectures during the summer session on educational problems in the high schools of the country. Before Mr. Sneddon became the state commissioner of education of Massachusetts in 1909 he was a professor of Education at Columbia University in New York City; and before that an assistant professor in Leland Stanford University from which school he was graduated.
His subjects for the lectures are:
"Industrial Education for Boys and Girls from 14 to 18."
"Agricultural Education for Boys over 14."
"The Problem of Flexibility in the Grades."
"Making the High School more Vital."
"The New Basis of Methods." These lectures will be everyafternoon during the week beginning Monday, July 3, and lasting till Saturday, July 8. These sessions are in connection with the School of Education. All the courses in Education during the week will be combined into one conference under the leadership of Dr. Snedden. The lecture will be followed by an hour of discussion. For a third hour each day some of the leading school men of the state will give addresses.
The securing of Dr. Snedden is a special effort of the School of Education to adjust itself to the needs of the leading school administrators as well as teachers of the state. Seven courses in Education in addition to various teachers' courses will be given. This is more than has ever been given before. Most of the high school superintendents and teachers of Kansas who attend summer session have been in the habit of going out of the state, principally to the University of Chicago; and it is hoped that this will counteract the movement.
Dr. Snedden is author of several books as "The Administration of Education for Juvenile Delinquents," and with the help of others "Educational Administration in the United States," and "Reports on Schools and School Efficiency."
Mary Northrup of Iola will visit the latter part of the week at the Kappa house.

"THE MISSING LINK WILL BE FOUND?
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1911
IN SENIOR FARCE STUDENTS ATTEMPT IT.
Ten Actors And Actresses in Cast—Will be Staged West of Snow Hall.
"The Missing Link" is the name of the Senior Farce which will be produced during commencement week. Mat Graham, chairman of the farce committee, announced this morning that the entire play had been completed and that practices will begin this week. The farce is in one act with four musical numbers, words and music by Mat Graham. The book was written by Clem Parker and Arthur McAdams. Special feature dances entirely different from anything every produced here will be staged.
"The Missing Link" deals with original research for the missing link spoken of by Darwin. The Chancellor of a university has declared that a party of university students shall spend some time in a thorough search for the link between man and the monkey. A company is organized under faculty direction and the party leaves for some unknown land in the airship Jayhawk. The farce opens with the landing of the party on an unknown island. Provisions run out and the members scatter over the island in search of food. An edible plant is found and soup is made of it. All present eat heartily of the soup, but unfortunately the ingredients are such as to make the people light headed. Various acrobatic stunts of a rather hilarious nature follow. Two members of the company who did not eat of the soup retain their mental stability and take many photographs of the anties of the rest. These pictures are displayed later as evidence that one does not have to search in an unknown land for the missing link; we have it in various forms among us at all times.
There are ten people in the east and they are being trained under the direction of Gertrude Mossler. Special scenery has been secured from Kansas City. The farce will be staged outdoors just west of Snow hall,weather permitting.
VARSITY WAS DEFEATED

STUDENT DROWNED IN POTTER'S LAKE
LEONARD RITCHEY, JUNIOR,
DIES THURSDAY.
Engineer Sinks While Companions Stand Helpless Lived at Cheney, Kansas.
In his first "swim" in Potter's lake which has recently been filled with water, Leonard Franklin Ritchley met death by drowning Thursday night while twenty fellow students stood on the bank and looked on, all unable to be of assistance.
Ritchey was a junior in the department of Civil Engineering and his home was at Cheney Kansas. His residence at Lawrence was at 1407 Kentucky street. Thursday night Ritchey in company with other members of the School of Engineering went to Marvin hall to attend the annual spring farewell meeting of the Civil Engineers. At the close of the meeting the men all went to the lake to take a plunge. Ritchey was among the first to cross the lake. On returning he had reached the center of the lake when a cry for help was heard and Ritchey was seen to be in distress. Those students near him attempted to be of assistance but Ritchey being a heavy man slipped from their grasp and sunk to the bottom immediately. Diving was immediately begun and it was discovered that at this place the water was eleven or twelve feet in depth and that the lower strata of the water were icy cold. Diving was difficult and none of those present were expert enough to reach the body. A light raft was hurriedly constructed and towed to the place where Ritchey was last seen and diving was renewed. George Bowles touched the body three times but was unable to stay down long enough to effect a recovery of the heavy body.
A phone message was sent for Drs, Naismith, Chambers, Sudler, and C. B. Root, to come to the lake at once so that if the body was found soon, attempts at resuscitation might be made.
James Daniels, captain of the University swimming team was called and he succeeded in bringing the body to the surface on his first dive. Work at resuscitation was immediately begun by the doctors but after an hour's work they gave over the attempt and pronounced Ritehey to be dead. A half hour after the recovery of the body Joseph Kaffer brought one of the oxygen machines that was used in connection with a lecture there in the afternoon, and the attempts to restore life were renewed but to no avail.
Ritchey's death evidently was caused by an attack of heart failure. He has been subject to these attacks before. At a track meet this spring he fell and was unconscious for a period of twenty minutes. He has also been seized with the attacks while in the swimming tank in Robinson gymnasium. Dr. Naismith said it could not have been cramps as all his muscles were relaxed when found.
The Power & Leshear Undertaking company conveyed the body to their establishment where services were held last night. Dr. Wilbur and seventy-five Engineering students attended the service and accompanied the body to the train at 11:00 o'clock.
Dean Olin Templin notified Ritchey's father Thursday night. A pathetic story in connection with Ritchey's death is told by
"Dad" Herman, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. Thursday afternoon he called Ritchey over the telephone and told him that he had found some work for him to do on Friday as Ritchey had requested.
"I can't take the work now," said Ritechey, "for I am going to take a quiz tomorrow."
MANY OFFICIALS TO MEET.
Faculty Representatives and Coaches Confer at Des Moines.
The annual spring meeting of the faculty representatives of the schools of the Missouri Valley Conference was held at Des Moines Thursday night. The men discussed the general status of the conditions of athletics among the schools of the Valley and the fate of inter-collegiate base ball hung in the balance. The representative from Kansas, Dr. McClung, made a fight for a more liberal interpretation of the rules regarding the eligibility of baseball players. Nebraska and Iowa have already expressed their compliance with the Kansas interpretation put upon baseball regulation and a contest was made to obtain this for the general ruling of the conference.
At eight o'clock yesterday the managers of the teams of the schools of the conference held a meeting to select the officials for the foot-ball games for the coming season. There was also a meeting of the all year coaches of the schools in which the question of establishing a system of basket ball officials for the entire schedule of games was discussed and some action taken.
Freshmen Displayed Temper After Ball Game Yesterday.
DIDN'T LIKE UMPIRE.
The game yesterday afternoon between the University freshmen and the Lawrence Y. M. C. A. ended in a display which has seldom been witnessed on McCoolfield. Although the freshmen won by the score of 14 to 4, they were dissatisfied with the umpiring. They approached the center of the diamond after the game and picked his upms up and shoved him over the fence. Too many "rotten decisions" was their explanation.
Wilson President and Young green Manager Next Year.
The Y. M. C. A. nine took the bint and went from the ball grounds. The clink of their spike was heard upon the cement walk as they ran swiftly down Mississippi street.
MASQUE ELECTS OFFICERS
Funston Writes of the Twentieth
The University Masque held a meeting in room 110 at chapel time Friday and elected the following officers for next year; Harold Wilson, president; Clarence Conner, vice president; Fay Chisham, secretary; and Chas. Younggreen manager of next year's play. The Masque club will give their play in the spring term next year.
General Frederick Funston, a former student of the University is the author of a series of articles which will appear in Scribner's Magazine, on "The Making of a Regiment." The organization and experiences of the Twentieth Kansas, Funston's first command, are described in the articles, the first of which is published in the June Scribner's.
KANSAS DID WELL IN PRELIMINARIES
IOWA'S WITHDRAWAL FROM
CONFERENCE ANNOUNCED
Jayhawkers Failed to Place in The Hundred—Bermond Beaten in the Quarter.
The annual Missouri Valley Athletic association track and field meet to be held this afternoon at Drake Stadium will be a battle royal is indicated by the preliminaries in five events held yesterday. What the outcome will be seems extremely doubtful as the preliminaries yesterday entirely altered the advance news on the meet.
Drake and Iowa, the latter of which announced its withdrawal yesterday from the Missouri Valley Assn., in order to contine relations with the "Big Eight," proved the surprises of the preliminaries, Drake placing three men in the quarter, and Joslyn of Iowa nosing out the speedy Keeney of Ames in the 100-yard dash and winning a preliminary of the 220-yard dash.
Kansas seems to be in the pink of condition at the close of the preliminaries, having placed three men in the 220-yard hurdles. Nebraska has half the men to start in the 100-yard dash, and a strenuous battle is expected between Wilson of Coe, May of Nebraska and Reed of Nebraska in that sprint. Missouri also placed a man in every event. The summaries:

LEONARD RITCHEY.
SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1911.
There are mysteries in this world that we can never understand. There are manifestations of the work of God on every side and we can only wonder why and never comprehend. Just why a young man, on the very threshold of an active and useful life should be taken away and those who have completed their three score years and ten and are anxious and waiting to go to their rest still live—we can never explain. Leonard Ritchey, but a few days ago was young and hopeful and expectant, eagerly awaiting the time when he could go in the world and commence the great struggle of life. Today he lies dead in his home, a victim of a drowning in the lake or our own campus. The story is sad but old and its repetition does not assuage the sorrow or dull the anguish of the parents and friends who came to know him. He was quiet and unassuming and a hardworker in school. An education for him meant a struggle and the regret is all the greater when one considers how close he was to the desired goal and then failed in attaining it. Leonard Ritchey was a member of the great and growing family that we are striving to maintain at the University. He will be missed by all who knew him, because of an association that I lost. We can only hope that his actions while in school have had some influence and have added an element of uplift to all those with whom he was acquainted.
The concert by the University band last evening was enjoyable. Under the direction of Professor McCandles we now have the best band in any college in the Missouri Valley. The band has proved itself a loyal supporter of school activities and the large crowd that attended the concert last evening was evidence of the high esteem in which it is held by the student body.
The drowning in Potter's lake this week is a fair warning. The fact that a number of students were present at the time and were unable to help the man, shows that either sufficient lights should be provided or swimming at night ought to be prohibited. The latter is not needed. A little safeguarding will make the lake a safe place in which to swim.

Prof. Boodin Speaks of Relations Between Schools.
Professor J. E. Boodin of the department of philosophy spoke at Washburn Thursday morning on the relations between state institutions of education and independent colleges. In his discussion he explained that the real differences between the two types of school are less than is sometimes supposed.
A state University is a state institution not merely because it is supported by state appropriations but more truly because of its functions, Professor Boodin maintained. He also mentioned examples of state Universities which depend in a great measure upon general endowment for their maintenance. On the other hand he showed that the so-called independent colleges are in a measure supported by state aid in that they are allowed to hold property without taxation.
"The non-sectarian college," said Professor Boodin, "is in a particular way a state institution. It occupies very much the same place as the state University with the exception of the board of control, because it exists for all the people and simply extends its great treasures of culture to all that come."
Professor Boodin indicated his belief in the value of these colleges and discussed co-operation of the state with them. He advocated the plan of state aid to them by which they would teach certain subjects, as for instance, domestic science, agriculture and normal training, and be under the direction of the state as far as these courses were concerned.

The regatta on Potter's lake, June 5, promises to be one of the most interesting features of Commencement week.

TAKES SHOT AT COCO COLA
In Chapel Speech Prof. Sayre Condemns Drink.
"Coco Cola formerly contained cocaine made from cocoanut and cocoa but the government objected and this is now no longer used. Now the principal drug in the drink is caffeine of which there are two grains in a glass or about $ \frac{1}{4} $ of one per cent of the contents of the glass. One grain is the average dose in medicine while five grains is a very excessive dose. It should be the community's policy to minimize the effects of caffeine beverages as much as possible. Tea and coffee also contain caffeine. These according to the United States dispenser, Dr. H. C. Wood, when drunk moderately by healthy persons produce no harmful results but when drunk for a long time in large quantities make the drinker a nervous wreck. United States imports annually over 112,000,000 pounds of tea, while the English tea drinkers annually have imported 226,000,000 pounds.

URGES STUDENTS TO BE LOYAL
A. D. WEAVER
CHANCELLOR LAYS EMPHASIS ON REUNION.
At Yale Nearly All Class Members Return—Mediocrity is Suicidal.
Chancellor Strong in his chapel talk yesterday urged the seniors as well as the whole student body to be loyal to the University. He thinks that the best way for the seniors to do this is to have a permanent organization and to come back every year for commencement week. In his own graduating class at Yale there were one hundred and forty seven members. Of this number ninety-seven attended the reunion two years ago which marked the twenty-fifth year of their graduation.
"The senior class," he urged, "should appoint a secretary who would hold the position for life. This would be the first and also the most important step towards a permanent organization. Such an organization would materially increase the number of those who attend the class reunion, especially the first one. In coming back for commencement week those who return the first year after graduation have formed a habit that they will never regret. They will not only be more loyal alumni but will be more interested in the class and the success of the various members. It is suicidal for an institution of higher learning to graduate men and women of only mediocre ability. The alumni who return are the ones who realize the truth of this statement. Consequently they keep in touch with what the University is doing and learn what their Alma Mater needs to better her condition in this and other respects.
"The graduates ought to be the leading men and women in the community where they live. They can succeed in this by doing all they can for education in the town where they live as well as in the whole state. If this was the case the politicians would never have an opportunity to gain control of the educational institutions of the state.
"The University needs the support of all its alumni and they should give it as they owe it to her and to the state which furnishes the funds. However, many alumni are apparently indifferent to University success as they will not challenge statements made in their presence about the University that they know are not at all true.
"We can succeed in getting along this biennium on the appropriations made by the state authorities but it has to have an increased sum at the next meeting of the legislature and it is up to the alumni to help secure an adequate amount to allow for the growth of the institution."

There are 'bo' chapters at Missouri, Iowa and Drake. Most of the eastern schools have a similar organization.
A banquet will be held consisting of burgundy and saver kraut, served in acuminated tin cans. The following toasts will be given. Harry Kemp will serve a toast master. The speakers have not been announced:

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, MAY 30, 1911
LAST TRACK MEET AT MINNEAPOLIS
SEVEN MEN WILL GO ON
BEGIN 0
JUNE 2.
Strongest Teams in the West Will be Represented—Kansas Should Take Some Firsts.
The last track meet in which the University will be represented this spring will be the Western Conference meet to be held by the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis on June 2 and 3. The management will send seven of the best men of the track teams to this meet to represent Kansas in competition with some of the strongest teams of the west. All the men who placed in the Missouri Valley Conference Meet at Des Moines will make the trip and two or three other men who made especially good showings in the events in which they took part will also be given an opportunity to test their powers against the athletes of the northern schools.
The men will leave on Thursday morning and will arrive at Minneapolis on Friday morning On Friday afternoon the preliminary heats of the dashes and hurdle races will be run and the meet will be held on the following day.
Coach Hamilton expects some of the men to take firsts in this meet and thinks that the chances of the team for standing high in the scoring is good. The men who will make the trip are Wilson French, Ammons, C. Woodbury Gribble, Patterson, and H. Woodbury. Captain Hamilton is unable to go on account of work at school.
After the meet Manager Lanson and Coach Hamilton expect to spend a week fishing in some of the northern lakes and the Woodburys will take an extended trip through the cast.
Word was received at the University this morning saying that Professor and Mrs. R. D. O? Leary and their three children will sail on the ship Rotterdam on June 10 for New York City from Boulogne, France. Professor O'Leary has been taking work at Oxford University during the winter and he and his family are now in Paris.
O'Leary Will Return.
The preparation for the entertainment of the members of the various teams that will enter the meet is very elaborate. A motor car will be placed at the disposal of each team while they are in Minneapolis and the men will be entertained at the Fraternity houses. On Saturday evening all the men will attend the senior play that will be given by the graduating class of the University of Minnesota.
Upon his return to Lawrence, he will take up his work in the English department of the University.
Y. W. to Colorado.
The middle west section of the national Y. W, C. A. will hold its annual conference at Cascade, Colorado June 29 to 30. The delegates and members who will attend this conference come from the different branches of the association situated in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, and Utah.
Will Travel in Europe
Olive M. Gilbreath, instructor,
in Rhetoric, will not teach in the
University next year. She will

COMMEND K. U. POETS
York Independent Says
Work Has Merit.
The next number of the Independent magazine will contain a literary criticism of the "Songs from the Hill" by the editor of that periodical. It will say that the efforts of the students of the University of Kansas are deserving of very great commendation and that some of the work in the booklet of poetry that was published this spring has particular merit. It is wondered how many other universities of the United States can make as good a showing in this particular field as the University of Kansas.
Special mention is made of the poems that Willard Wattles has published in the little volume and he is hailed as a poet of great promise. Several of the unpublished poems written by Wattles have been asked for by the edition of the independent and it is probable that they will be published in the future.
LOST TO OKLAHOMA
Tennis Team Was in Crippled Condition
The University of Kansas tennis team lost the dual tournament with Oklahoma last week, owing to an injury sustained by Paul Nees.

Tennis at the University has been successful this year. Baker was defeated early in the season. The state title is held by Kansas ia both the singles and doubles. Kansas finished second in the Missouri Valley Tennis tournament held at Kansas City.

The "Independent," New York, announces among the contents of its annual Vacation number, to be issued early in June, an article by Miss Lois Harger, a sophomore in the College. It is a story, with illustrations, of an outing last summer by a party of Theta girls, several from the University of Kansas, and is entitled, "A Sorority Vacation."
Tells of Sorority Outing
Prof. A. M. Sturtevant of the department of German left this week for Chicago where he will attend an organization of a National Scandinavian language society. Professor Sturtevant will sail next week for Christiana, Norway, to spend the summer in special study. On Sept. 4, 5, and 6, he will be present at the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the University of Christiana, as an official representative of the University of Kansas.
There will be a meeting of the members of the varsity baseball team Wednesday evening at 6:30 o'clock at the Eldridge house. The annual banquet will be given and the captain for next year's team will be elected.

ADOPT K. U. PLAN AT CONFERENCE
LIBERAL INTERPRETATION OF BASEBALL RULES.
C. E. McClung Elected President of Next Conference—Will Be Held in Lawrence.
Dr. C. E. McClung, of the department of zoology was elected President of the Missouri Valley Athletic Conference at the recent meeting held in Des Moines. Lawrence was selected as the next meeting place of the athletic directors which will be in December.
The introduction of wrestling, swimming, tennis, and gymnastic competitions and a school for officials were two new innovations authorized by the directors. A committee on minor sports was appointed with instructions to devise plans so that wrestling, swimming, tennis, and gymnasium tournaments can be held between the schools of the conference.
Contests in the other events, as swimming, wrestling, fencing, and boxing will also be possible. Such contests are held in eastern schools but are an innovation to the west. The only teams K. U. has ever met in these sports is the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. in swimming and mat contests. This will give the Jayhawkers a chance to compete with Nebraska or Missouri and the other institutions.
This will give K. U. an opportunity to meet Nebraska and Missouri and the other universities in tennis next spring if the committee finishes its work in time. Kansas has never met any of the conference schools in tennis but has played only Okla home and Kansas schools.
The other innovation was a school for officials, especially in basket ball because of the variety of decisions rendered in the past, because of different interpretations by the various officials. At the meeting here in December all coaches and officials will be requested to have a session for the purpose of working over the interpretations and agreeing on an identical construing of the rules. It is thought that this will do away with all differences in decisions on the same play and thus fix a uniform standard for the whole valley.
The amateur rule allowing college players to play summer ball without compensation was restored and the liberal interpretation and the rules by K. U. was on the whole adopted. Players technically ineligible can also be reinstated. This refers to those who play in a game for which admission is charged, but who are not themselves paid.
The eastern inter-collegiate rules were adopted for track meets, but they differ only slightly from the present rules in trial heats and other minor points.
Announcement was made this morning of the engagement of G. W. Hess, instructor of mathematics, and Miss Florence Wick. The marriage will take place June 10 in Lawrence. It will be a quiet affair and only the most intimate friends will be invited.
Hess-Wick.
Fine Arts Concert Tonight.
The annual commencement concert of the School of Fine Arts will be held in Fraser hall this evening at 8:15. The program consists of musical numbers, vocal and instrumental, and one reading.
KANSAS TOOK SECOND
Bermond Beaten by Reed in Quarter.
The Jayhawkers took the second honors in the annual Missouri Valley Conference Truck Meet held at Des Moines last Saturday afternoon with a score of 31 points. The Tiger team won first with a total score of 40 points and Nebraska took third with 29.
New records were made in the low hurdles, mile run, 220 yard dash, pole vault, two mile run, half mile relay, and the quarter mile. Ammons sprung a surprise on the followers of the track athletics of the Missouri Valley by making sure of the of the shot put at the first of the event and French and Wilson easily took firsts in the jumps. Reed of Nebraska defeated Bermond of Missouri in the quarter mile race making the 440 yards in the time of 50 seconds.
DIPLOMAS GIVEN OUT
Phi Beta Kappa Inaugurates New System.
Initiation was held for the newly elected members of the honorary fraternity of Phi Beta Kappa, at the home of Prof. F. H. Hodder, Monday evening. Afterwards a reception was held for the new members and each one presented with a diploma of membership to the organization. These are the first diplomas that the Alpha chapter of Kansas has ever given to its members, and it has not been definitely decided as yet, whether the alumni members will receive one or not. The diplomas are twelve by fourteen inches in size and printed on a heavy deed paper in red and white. The type is of Old English and the whole is surrounded by a decorative border and signed by the president and secretary
FARCE CAST CHOSEN.

The following officers were elected for the ensuing year; William Norris president; Everett Brummage vice president; Robert Lee, secre tary-treasurer. A delegate will be elected at the beginning o next year for the National Convention of Good Governmen Clubs to be held in Washington D.C. next winter.
Smith Retains Championship.
R. H. "Tiny" Smith, successfully defended his title to the wrestling championship of the University, by defeating Rex Welsh in two straight falls in a match Thursday afternoon. The first fall came in ten minutes with a scissor hold and half Nelson. The second in one minute and a half with a half Nelson. C. B. Root refereed the bout.
SENIOR PICNIC TO BE A FEATURE
FORM
PERMANENT CLASS ORGANIZATION.
Class Secretary Will be Elected— Beautiful Decorations Planned For Senior Graduation.
Farewell parties, caps and gowns, and trunks hurries to the depot all speech of the close of school. Commencement begins this evening with the Fine Arts concert; but the graduating exercises of the University as a whole do not begin until next Sunday.
An innovation in the commencement program this year will be the senior class picnic. This will be held on the golf links near Potter lake immediately after the regatta Monday afternoon for the purpose of effecting a class organization and making definite arrangements for the reunion in 1916. The picnicers will be entertained by the University band and several speakers.
Another feature of commencement year will be the campus decorations. Professor Raymond who is chairman of the committee is making plans for the most extensive and elaborate decorations in the commencement history of the University. From the windows of Fraser and the other buildings pennants and bunting will be hung. The pennants will be representative of the different classes graduated from the University. From the flag staffs large funnel pennants will be hung. In the gymnasium palms, cut flowers and potted flowers and potted plants will be banked on the roostrum, and bunting in the Kansas colors will be strung around the room. In the evening the campus will be converted into a gay "white way." Japanese lanterns and colored electric lights will be strung in the trees and all around the vicinity of Fraser. Under these lights the University band will give its concerts as scheduled.
Commencement week is full of memories for the alumni, but the time when all of the old grads really get together and grow reminiscent is luring the class luncheons on the campus. This year the luncheon will be held at twelve o'clock noon Tuesday, June the sixth. The picnic lunches will be bought on the grounds and each class will gather around its pennant to eat. At this luncheon each class that has graduated from the University is represented by its little group of members, the groups growing smaller in proportion to the years of seniority. And each group has its own individual memories and incidents to tell.
Last Issue This Year.
This issue of the Kansan is the last one that will be printed this year. The first issue next year will come off the press the first week of school. It is hoped that all the returning students will set a good example both to themselves and to the incoming freshmen by taking out a subscription as soon as they "hit" Lawrence. The more subscribers the better the paper.

THE END OF THE CHAPTER
We have reached the end of the road. This week will close a year of school and we will depart for our homes—some to return no more. The past year has been one of vital importance to the University and the attitude of the student body on certain questions has been watched with interest by the citizens of our state. Each year the University is called upon to enter into new fields and it is essential to her progressive spirit that she inculcates in the students a spirit of loyalty and fidelity to school life, and a desire to defend the Alma Mater at all times. This year there will be four hundred men and women who will receive their degrees from this school and the great majority of these will go to various parts of the state. Surely four hundred people who are thoroughly imbued with the real importance of the University and the peculiar position that she is called upon to take, can do much towards relieving any feeling of restraint or lack of harmony that is alleged to exist between some of our citizens and this institution. Augmented by those who have graduated before, they form a formidable and imposing foe against any untruths or male-dictions that may be directed to the school. The question is, will interest in school life end in the obtaining of a degree? Past experience would seem to indicate that in a majority of cases it does.
The present senior class has been active in many ways. They have undertaken certain projects that have distinguished them as a progressive class. This same originality of ideas and spirit of innovation that has characterized their school life, should be after graduation even more than now, a dominant factor in the life of each. The University needs men and women who are true and loyal. To those who are going and will return no more as students, we can wish only a happy life, filled with success and honor. Let them ever maintain in their daily life that element of sturdy manhood and true womanhood for which the University has ever stood.
UNIVERSITY IN WAR
Today the nation is paying honor to those men who have fought in its defense. The place of the University in war is significant
of its spirit of fidelity to an ideal and its stand for the best of manhood. From our school has gone forth a galaxy of men who are today recognized as among the military leaders of our nation. All Kansas knows and is proud of General Fred Funston a former student at this school. His rapid rise in military circles has excited the admiration and respect of all. General W. S. Metcalf, who graduated from the school of law in 1897, is another instance of a man who has seen active military service. Colonel E. C. Little, who also received his higher education at this school, achieved fame during his service in the Philippines. And in addition to these we have Major W. W. Reno, Captain Adna Clarke, Captain Clarence Cole, Captain Fred E. Buehan, and Lieut Winton. All these mer are in regular service at the present time.
In Fraser Hall is a bronze tablet, a mute tribute to one of the University men who died while fighting. Alfred C. Alford represents a group of University men who cast aside their books, gave up their other ambitions, and stepped in the ranks and marched to war. The Oread men were men of grit and courage in the "Fighting Twentieth" and all honor is due them.
And as the years go by, war or no war the University of Kansas can look back on a record of achievement in military life that is a credit to any institution, any state, or any nation. The boys

W. S. Kinnear Gave Illustrated Lecture on Detroit Tunnel.
The Civil Engineering Society was addressed Thursday evening of last week by William S. Kimearc, president of the Kansas City Terminal Railway, and a graduate from the Engineering School in 1907. He gave an illustrated lecture on the Detroit River Tunnel, of which he is chief engineer. The bridge is under the Detroit River and connects the American with the Canadian side. It is nearly a mile in length and is the longest of its kind in the world. The tunnel is made of steel tubes surrounded by concrete, and was built by the New York Central Company, although all the railroads into Detroit use it.
After the talk officers for the next school year were elected. They are: President, Harold W. Wilson; vice-president, Ernest A. Rountree; secretary and treasurer, John P. Boesche; corresponding secretary, Ross I. Parker; faculty advisor, Prof. H. A. Rice.
Refreshments of strawberries, ice-cream, wafers and punch were served.
