UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN STUDENT PAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS 156 NUMBER 108. LAWRENCE, KANSAS SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 1941. 39TH 36TH YEAR Landes Takes New Position At Michigan K. K. Landes, professor of geology and state geologist, has been selected as the new head of the geology department of the University of Michigan. He succeeds E. C. Case, graduate of the University in 1893, who retires this year. Landes joined the staff of the University in 1926 as an assistant professor. Many times, from 1921 to 1926, Landes was associated with the United States geological survey in New Mexico, Alaska, Colorado, and Vermont. Gained Title in 1933 Landes was educated at the University of Washington and at Harvard. He was instructor at Wellesley before coming to the University of Kansas. He became a professor here in 1933. Landes is a fellow of the Mineralogical Society of America. Professor Landes was instrumental in obtaining for the University the new Mineral Industries building. Construction of the building will start in September with completion scheduled for the fall of 1942. Landes is the second faculty member to leave the campus after obtaining a new building for the University. Colonel Karl F. Baldwin, professor of military science and tactics, has been notified of his transfer to active duty with the Coast Artillery Corps at Fort Winfield Scott, San Francisco, Calif. His transfer will probably become effective by July 1. Swastika Finale ★★★★ Sick Days Over "I feel fine, and never felt better in my life. But I didn't slide down the flagpole—I just sort of came down the same way I went up only with a little more accelerated speed." These were the words of the swastika - removing college junior, C. A. Gilmore, who risked his neck atop the swaying flagpole above Fraser hall last week. As a result, Gilmore spent a recuperation period in Watkins Memorial hospital, suffering from leg burns and scratched feet which he acquired on descent from the high perch. He was released from the hospital Wednesday. Last Jayhawker But Tomorrow The last copy of the Jayhawker will be out Monday, Betty Coulson, managing editor, said yesterday. Copies may be obtained in the basement of the Memorial Union until Thursday of this week. Distributing hours will be from 9-12 a.m. and from 1:30-4:30 p.m. HITCHING POSTS Guides and Gas Lamps Spirit of'66 TO THE BEST OF HIS KIND. Eleanor Allen, one of the 60 Hill lassies who will welcome returning grads in the style of '66, is shown being helped into the carriage by Fritz Meyn, general chairman of the Entrada committee. Meyn's daughter, Fritzie, is in the front seat with Billie Doris Jarboe, left, and Georgia Ferrell in the back. Hitching posts all over the place! Just drive your gasoline dobbin up to any one of the 65 posts and tie him down and enjoy life amid the gasoline lamps of 1866 and dozens of the University's 1941 version of demure sweet pulchritude, dressed in the gowns of 75 years ago. Partly cloudy with probable thunder showers. Cooler west and north central portions. The hitching posts were modeled after an authentic version found in Lawrence. The gas lamps were designed by T. D. Jones, assistant professor of design. Bring your aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers, sisters, and of course your mother and dad to help the University celebrate its Seventy-fifth Anniversary. WEATHER FORECAST A wire mesh, modeled over a wooden frame and resembling a mammoth lamp shade will be fitted on the electric street lights to give the effect of old gas lamp lighting. The Santa Fe Railroad is contributing several model old fashioned trains that will toot their way around the Hill. In front of each building, artistic signs depicting the sort of sign painting of 75 years ago will be situated. Comes From Iowa . . . C. L. H.

Edna Hill Is New Home Ec Chairman Miss Edna Hill, of the University of Iowa, has been appointed chairman of the department of home economics, Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced yesterday. Miss Hill has been a member of the home economics staff at Iowa for the past 16 years. She is a graduate of Simmons College, Boston, Mass., with a B.S. degree in 1921, and received her master's degree from the Teacher's College, Columbia University, in 1925. Following her undergraduate work, she taught for three years at Nasson Institute, Springvale, Maine, and came to the University of Iowa, just after receiving the master's degree. As chairman of the committee in tests and measurements of the food and nutrition section of the American Home Economics Association, Miss Hill prepared a foods test which was employed by more than 100 colleges and universities. She is a member of Omicron Nu, honorary home economics society, of the American Home Economics Society, the American Association of University Women, and the League of Women Voters. During the past year, Miss Viola (continued to page eight) Seventy-Fifth Ticket Deadline Is Thursday Deadline for obtaining tickets to the Sunset barbecue and the Seventy-fifth Anniversary dinner is Thursday night, June 5. Tickets may be obtained at the Alumni office, the rotunda of Frank Strong hall, or the Round Corner Drug store. HOLD IT, STUDENTS Hill Activity Not Dead Yet Entrada In 4 Days Students, don't go home yet! The greatest outdoor production ever staged in Lawrence, the Coronado Entrada, will be held in the Memorial stadium, Thursday and Friday nights. On a stage that will cover the entire football field, with scenery rising to a height of 35 feet, and with modern stage lighting effects that require 100,000 watts of current, a production in pageant form will dramatize the chief events in the expedition of Francisco Vasquez de Coronado into the plains of Kansas in 1541. John W. Judd, director from the Jerome Cargill production company of New York, has been directing the cast of 500 local individuals that will take part in the Entrada. While authenticity has been the keynote of the entire production, Judd has inserted into every scene that which will make each act a show in itself. The battles of the Indians, the dances of the villagers, the horse races, the balky sheep, the small bits of natural conversation and laughter; all of these are but a few of the "tricks" that will be used. The wardrobe cost of the Entrado was $18,000. For one year prior to the New Mexico showing, costumes designers worked on research for the wardrobe. Now the entire outfit is an exact replica of the original, even to the last button of each blouse. However, care was taken to be sure that definite contrasts would be made on the stage. For example, Coronado's armor is in gold while his companion's is in silver. Four truckloads of scenery and costumes arrived in Lawrence yesterday. The 30-ton stage will come via the Santa Fe Railroad in special baggage cars. The massiveness of the Entrada can be seen in such facts that the paint on the scenery, which was done in oil, weighs a ton. The ramps, which the horses climb in order to give an effect of disap- (continued to page eight) Here on the Hill---- PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 1941 Special Hill Festivities Commence After Finals Looks like this is going to be one year when it will be a job to get students to go home after finals. The seniors, of course, are waiting around for a nice rainy day to be graduated on. The Chancellor's next weekend visitor is enough to hold male underclassmen on the Hill. Mary Pickford will be the Malott's guest—lucky people! The rest of us will stick around to see how the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration and the Coronado Eutrada will pan out. We'll wander around in a daze—gaping at hitching posts, coaches, Indians, cowboys, and beautiful girls in hoop skirts. That is, of course, after we finish the other half of these confounded finals. The old coffee-pot is just about due for a rest now. MILLER HALL . . . house guest Monday and Tuesday was Mary Bolton, Sterling. ENGAGEMENT was announced recently of Pauline Roth to Dane Bales.

St. Summer School Will Have Library Class The University will offer two short courses in library service, designed to meet the requirements of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, during the summer session. A course in cataloging and classifying, three hours credit, will be taught by Miss Helen Titsworth, head cataloger. and Miss Laura Neiswanger, classifier. Students desiring to enroll in the course should make application ahead of time, according to C. M. Baker, director of libraries, because the number permitted to enroll will be limited. High school library administration, three hours credit, taught by Miss Lauretta Trickey, reference librarian, is the name of the second course. Both courses are open only to seniors. A new requirement of the Nortl College Campus A Haven For War-Tired Refugees Philadelphia — (UP) — Haverford College has become a haven for 30 men and women of prominence in Europe. Refugees of nations swept by war or ravished by political animosities, these men and women —and one 9-year-old girl—have found new homes at the school. In the group are lawyers, university professors, a sculptor, a German poet widely-known for his translation of American Negro verse, the former headmaster of Vienna's largest high school, and a Spanish customs service official who taught his country's language to British generals at Gibraltar. Most of them have received advanced university degrees. Many were honored by their governments in the days before a "new order" arose. Today 15 of this group live together in one campus home. The others live in the homes of Haverford faculty members. But the entire group has joined in organizing the Co-operative College Workshop Their Americanization is being speeded by the joint efforts of the Friends Service Committee, which arranged for their homes at the college, the Haverford Friends Meeting, and students and instructors at Bryn Mawr and Haverford colleges. The exiles also visit classrooms in nearby schools to "discover" their adopted land further. designed by the exiles to help them serve the community while they are becoming adjusted to their new lives. And while they meet in frequent seminar discussions at Haverford, one of four refugee centers established by the Friends Committee in the United States and Cuba, they scarcely ever discuss the war. "America has given us hope and courage," the refugees explain. "At least we are out in the open air, free of the suffocating smoke of Europe's incessant wars. We enjoy this so much we hardly ever talk about the war among ourselves." To Land Man Put On Thinking-Cap Preferably Red New Orleans, June 1. — (UP) American girls should pray for the right man to come along, a leader of thousands of young women believes. "But they mustn't just sit back and depend on prayer," Miss Dorothy J. Willmann of St. Louis, executive secretary of the central office of the Sodality of Our Lady, said when she came here to speak before a Sodalties convention. "Despite the furore over the modern career woman." Miss Willman observed, "the chief interest of Miss America still lies in the age-old problem of getting her man. "More young women have questioned me on this subject than on any other. I tell them the best way is to pray for one—the right one. But they mustn't just sit back then “It’s important to develop a many-sided mind,” Miss Willmann reminded. “A girl should become in music, in economics. "That last point is vital because young men are worried about that subject just now, and every girl should be familiar with it. "Naturally," she added, "the girl should make the most of her appearance. But I think that is a secondary consideration." Miss Willmann contended that Central association which will go into effect in 1943 requires all librarians in high schools of 400 to 800 students to have at least 8 hours credit in library courses. We Have Appreciated Your Business Thanks K.U. Students ROGERS' Fashion CLEANERS EIGHT EAST EIGHTH STREET Call 498 young people today are "just as fine as they ever were." "They are more nervous, more highly-strung than their elders," she added. "But if any of the present youth are spoiled, it's the fault of the older people. They've made this the machine age, the luxury age—if that's what it is." Miss Willmann said she has discovered that a majority of girls want security more than any other one thing in life. Girls who are gloomy or moody, she advised, should go out and buy a red hat, or a pair of shoes, or see a movie.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE THREE Flying Cadet Unit Virtually Assured That the University of Kansas will have a flying cadet unit in the Army Air Corps was virtually assured yesterday when Lieutenant Byrl Schaubert of the Army Air Force reported that 30 students had enrolled for the unit and 15 of these had already passed the examinations. The tunit is being organized under a recently adopted plan in which flying cadet units of 20 men are being recruited in colleges throughout the United States. These recruits will be assigned to the same elementary flying school and every effort will be made to permit the members of the unit to complete their flight training together. First Unit At Stanford The first unit to be organized under the new plan was Stanford University's "Flying Cadet Unit No. 1," May 21. The student flyer candidates will spend 30 weeks in training at three flying schools which will give them primary, basic. and advanced courses of instruction. Upon graduation they will be commissioned as 2nd Lieutenants in the Air Corps Reserve, and ordered to extended active duty with the Army Air Corps. Their pay as cadets will be $75 a month and allowances. As 2nd Lieutenants, they will receive $245 a month and allowances. Requirements Changed The requirements are that applicants be between 20 and 26 years old, inclusive, be unmarried, in excellent health and must pass a written examination in general subjects or submit one-half the credits necessary for graduation from a recognized college to obtain an exemption from the written examination. The written examination for appointment as a flying cadet for those who have not had two years of college has been changed. Formerly the prospective cadets were required to pass an examination in nine subjects. The examination scheduled August 12, the first affected by the changes, candidates will be required to take examinations in only seven subjects. 70 Per Cent Passing A passing grade is required in each of the following subjects: English composition and grammar, arithmetic, algebra, plane geometry, and plane trigonometry. Two of the following subjects may be used to complete the list of seven subjects: United States history, general history, elementary physics, inorganic chemistry, and any modern language except English. Applicants who show successful college completion of any of the subjects given in the educational examination will receive credit for a grade of 80 per cent. For the entire examination, a passing grade is 70 per cent. Birth Certificate Needed The examinations are given four times a year and generally require three days for completion. About 2,500 candidates competed in each of the last two examinations. Examinations are given by boards at 54 stations and cities in the United States and possessions. Candidates are also required to present a birth certificate, three letters of recommendation, and a transcript of their college credits. Mary Pickford Will Attend Celebration Here Mary Pickford, of Hollywood fame, will be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Dolph Simons at the Seventy- fifth Anniversary dinner here June 7. The former actress is the wife of Charles "Buddy" Rogers, who attended the University of Kansas. She will be asked to pour at the punchbowl at a reception following the Anniversary dinner.

Gordon Gray Reports for Duty At Curtis Field Gordon Gray, freshman basketball coach this year and "Phog" Allen's right-hand man, will report for duty as cadet athletic director at Curtis Field, Brady, Texas, Tuesday. --- As a Jayhawk basketball player in 1933-34-35, Gray established himself as one of the stars of Kansas cage history. He played guard and made several all-Big Six teams. Gray, who recently had taken his physical examination for the selective service, was appointed under the civil service. He coached at Harlingen, Texas high school after graduation and returned here last fall to work on his master's degree in education. Gray is the third member of the Kansas athletic department to leave this spring. James H. Raport will go to Auburn and E. B. DeGroot will be a physical education director in the air corps next year. RENO, Nev. (UP) — Police no longer are certain the chances are greater against the slot machine player than against the machine.

"Odds" Against Slot Machine Intramural Survey--- Elbel Finds Basketball Most Popular Prep Sport Basketball is the most popular sport in high school intramural programs, according to a survey recently completed by Dr. E. R. Elbel, associate professor of physical education and director of intramural athletics. The survey reached 342 high schools all over the United $ \textcircled{1} $ States ranging in enrollment from 57 to 7,800 students. The 10 most popular sports of the 81 mentioned in the order of their popularity were basketball, softball, touch football, track, baseball, football, volleyball, tennis, table tennis, and badminton. The most complete intramural programs were found in schools of 851 to 2,250 students. The largest intramural program was that of Bloomington, Indiana, which included 28 sports. The University of Kansas intramural program includes 20 sports. 342 Schools Respond The survey showed that 6.73 per cent of the high schools surveyed have no intramural program. The largest number of these were schools with enrollments over 2,250. In onesport programs, basketball was usually the sport. Several trends are indicated by Dr. Elbel's survey when it is compared with a similar survey conducted by the Department of Interior in 1932. Response to that survey was about 40 per cent. The 342 schools who answered Dr. Elbel's questionnaire represented 80.2 per cent of the schools to which it was sent. The greatest response was from high schools in Illinois, Ohio, and Michigan. Increase In Size There has been a great deal of progress in size of programs. However, the lack of facilities, supervision, and finances is holding back further development. Another trend is toward elimination of all eligibility rules except school membership and non-membership on a varsity squad. Some schools still retain scholastic requirements for participation but the PLAN NOW TO ATTEND THURSDAY or FRIDAY The BIG Event of the Year K. U.

Another trend is away from awards. Most schools consider them unnecessary. Where awards are given, monograms are most popular. The survey shows that high schools derive financial support for their intramural programs from three major sources. The sources are the physical education budget, receipts at athletic contests and a combination of these two. Summaries of the survey are being prepared for mailing to the high schools who took part in the survey. The survey was conducted under a grant from the Graduate School, the School of Education, and the department of physical education. The biggest problem in the larger schools is lack of adequate supervision. Among the small schools the most frequent complaint is that the athletic coach has to take care of the intramural program and he does not have enough time for it, along with his coaching and teaching duties. Most schools list lack of time as a hindrance to the intramural program. The survey shows that about one-half of the schools lack adequate facilities for their intramural programs.

Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, Kollender promises a phenomenal amount of food for a paltry 25 cents. There will be barbecued pork and ham, garnished with the famous Kollender sauce, and numerous relishes, including pickles and olives, ice cream, pie and coffee. The meal will be served under the east section of the stadium by faculty members and their wives. In case of rain the entire program will be presented there. If the weather is fair, people will eat in the stadium, and various clubs will congregate at marked points for reunions. Alumni To Broadcast Entertainment will be provided by the University band, and by John Kress and his gymnasts, who will give a demonstration of tumbling and performance on the parallel bars. Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary will broadcast the annual "alumni on the street" program over KFKU. Arrangements have been made to have interviews with different returning alumni, whose voices will be amplified over a public address system. The "Varsity Quartet" will sing after the broadcast. Movies If It Rains Most of the crowd will stay for the Coronado Entrada, said Leslie Waters, chairman of the entertainment committee. In case of rain, the Entrada will not be presented, but movies will be shown either in Fraser theater or in Hoch auditorium. Tickets to the barbecue should be purchased as early as possible, to give an idea as to the number of plates to prepare. Students, faculty, townspeople, and visitors are invited to attend.

INDEPENDENT LAUNDRY AND DRY CLEANERS 740 Vt. ： The KANSAN Comments ... UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS SUNDAY, JUNE 1 "Bulges" in College Walls All over the nation this week many men and women are taking their last college finals, and commencement will ring down the curtain on thousands of college careers. But those students commence to do what? Certainly not to live, nor to learn, nor even to conquer worlds. When this year's graduate steps across the platform with his sheepskin, three possibilities lie ahead of him. One, he can loaf. Secondly, he can work, for everywhere in industry and business educated men and women with a workable knowledge are needed. Or as a third alternative, he can continue to study and to learn with the idea of creating a place in society for himself. This self-created place will be one of the bulges in the pattern of our civilization which will make this age outstandingly better than the last. Young men and women in 1941 are not being graduated to bread lines but to prospects of the full dinner pail. Today the job and opportunity markets are clamoring—not just for buyers but for meticulous choosers. The rust for economic gain and political rise is so great that college men and women may fail to see that now they must consider beyond the immediate outcome of the present world conflict. Will the strained situations existing between political states make our nation cut its own throat by refusing to keep on with the building of the essential qualities that will necessarily bear the brunt of rebuilding and stabilizing the world in the near future? The United States needs to make every effort to keep her educational program on the advance during the present crisis, for the college graduates of today and those of the coming decade will face a problem greater than their fathers faced after the first World War. Those men and women will need everything the educational facilities of this country can possibly give them if they meet their challenge and obligations successfully. When the last senior of 1941 turn his back on college, it will not be time for American educators to retire to their private libraries. They, too, are going to have to put some new bulges in the static flow of our educational system to prepare more students for keener adjustments. Summer Vacation It would be a striking testimonial to the potency of Washington's summer climate, in which eggs are solemnly claimed to have been fried on the terraces of the capitol and sparrows to have been bogged down in the melting pavements, if the attempt to adjourn Congress, which failed last December, should succeed in July. The presumption is that the Democratic leaders now talking of the possibility of a two-month adjournment are merely putting out feelers and sending up trial balloons. Warned by the defeat which he suffered last winter, not long after he had become presiding officer of the House and its Democratic leader, Speaker Rayburn will probably not let the effort for adjournment go as far as he did then without having a better assurance of its success. The reason for the defeat of the proposal to adjourn Congress from early December until after the Christmas holiday and the beginning of the new Congress on Jan. 3 was laid to the fear that "something might happen." Yet President Roosevelt had given assurances that he did not expect to have anything of major importance to submit to Congress within that period. As a matter of record, nothing did happen. Obviously, the present prospect is that much more "might happen" in July and August than appeared possible in December. What happens before July may, however, remove all doubt from many things that are now hidden behind spring squalls. ROCK CHALK TALK BY HEIDI VIETS Scene: a University classroom, third story. Time: the last day of final week. Scene: a University classroom, third story. A student, slightly green around the gills, has just ished his quiz paper. As he throws it on the desk, he turns toward the class, grabs his hair with both hands, and screams, "I can't stand it any longer." Before classmates and professor grasp the situation, he runs to the window and leaps. Is he dashed to bits below? Did the professor have a murder on his conscience? Was all that was left of the poor fellow his activity book? No, some of his buddy-buddies were stationed below with a big net to catch him when he jumped. It all turned out happily except for the nerve-frayed professor. They say this happened at K.U. Anyway, it's a good story. The Sigma Chi German band is on the loose again, and out of the groove as usual. Last night they声力 serenaded, giving the campus something to wonder about besides finals. Final time is the time to play, and the time to play is final time. UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Student Paper of THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Lawrence, Kansas Publisher ...

Studies Harder— School In Istanbul —Amid Filth By AGNES MUMERT When Stan Clark, senior engineer from Lawrence hears the announcer say, "And in Turkey tonight. . ." he turns the radio louder. When the date line on a news story says "Turkey," he reads the whole article. Stan's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Clark, have been in Turkey for eight years. Because communication with the Continent is so difficult, it takes their letters a month to reach him. Formerly a professor at the University of Arizona in Phoenix, Stan's father crossed the ocean to become an agricultural adviser for the Turkish government. His main duty was to help the little farmer there by introducing better varieties of cotton and new methods of cultivation. Stan stayed in Lawrence to go to high school. In 1936, when his parents had been gone three years, he went to Turkey for a visit, and took his senior year in high school there. He went to the school in Istanbul which had been set up for children of Americans over there, and which imported teachers fresh from the States. "School was a lot harder over there than in Kansas," Stan insists. Stan describes the natives as poverty-stricken. "The poor in the city are so much poorer than anything we can imagine here in America." He spent Christmas in Jerusalem that year, with a student friend, and Another adventure was the trip to Venice and Florence; the visits to the colorful city markets brought something new every day. Stan says his father finds this blend of the Orient and the Continent intensely interesting, but his mother thinks the cities depressing because of the filth and disease. they watched the pilgrimages of the natives in their annual celebrations. Stan came back that fall and enrolled at the University of Kansas, and hoped that his parents would come back soon. They had planned to return this year, until the war made transportation so difficult. Their letters hold very little political news, because they're afraid they are being censored, Stan believes. As yet there is not a sign of governmental inspection, but all of Stan's letters are censored by the British at Cairo. Meanwhile, he hopes that the next letter will say his father and mother are sailing home. Stan looks forward to a job with DuPont after commencement. 22 Will Attend Estes Park Conference A total of 22 students will attend the annual Estes Park Conference, June 6 to 16, John Moore, executive secretary of the Y.M.C.A., said yesterday. This is slightly less than the usual number, but total attendance at the conference is expected to drop to about 350, Moore said. Those who will attend are Ruth Mason, college senior; Helen Rymph, fine arts sophomore; Thornton McClanahan, college freshman; Paul Gilles, college sophomore; Genevieve Harmon, college junior; Keith Martin, college junior; June Parmenter, college junior; Margaret Learned, college junior; John Conard, college sophomore. Willis Tompkins, college sophomore; Wendell Tompkins, college sophomore; Ed Price, college junior; Colleen Poorman, college sophomore; Jean Stouffer, college senior; Frances Dotzour, fine arts freshman; Marian Hepworth, college freshman; Margaret Butler, college freshman; Priscilla Adams, college sophomore; Norma Falconer, college senior; Joan Taggart, college sophomore; John Riiseo, graduate; and Ted Young, college freshman. Several University faculty members and graduates will speak at the conference, including Hilden Gibson, instructor in political science and sociology, and Paul Moritz, '38. The Rev. Joseph King, of Lawrence will lead a part of the group. 'Lost Generation' Class of '19 Reunites The University's "lost generation," the class of 1919, will have its first class reunion as a part of the Seventy-Fifth anniversary celebration of the University of Kansas. Mrs. Jay Jakosky will hold open house for all 1919 alumni, former students, and their families at her home, 1120 West Eleventh street on June 8 from 11 to 2. For First Ti The general committee for the reunion has attempted to notify the 275 official graduates and as many as possible of the 798 freshman who entered the University in 1915. The committee believes that the class, scattered by World War I, probably holds the record for freshmen who failed to complete work for a degree on the Hill. They also claim the record for wide dispersion of graduates and for mobility of class members since graduation. Only 125 of the 798 freshmen who entered the University in 1915 were graduated in 1919. Only 95 official graduates are now living in Kansas. Miss Helen Wagstaff, director of the bureau of general information at the University of Kansas, is in charge of the reunion. Second Session Student Court Fines 23 Eleven student parking violators appeared before the second 1941 session of the Student Court May 23 in the courtroom in Green hall out of a total of 29 parking violators summoned to appear. Of the 11 students who appeared, six were dismissed and five were fined. All 18 students who failed to appear were automatically given fines, making a total of 23 fined.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE SEVEN Reviews University History 'Across the Years on Mount Oread' By LILLIAN FISHER This week when the 2,000 books of the first edition of Robert Taft's "Across the Years on Mount Oread" were put on sale, over half of that number had already been sold. Realizing the need for an up-to-date history of the University of Kansas, a committee was appointed several years ago to undertake the project. This group of men selected Robert, Taft, professor of physical chemistry, to be the author of this work because of his combined interests of photography, writing and western American history. Another Book Prof. Taft recently finished a book entitled "Photography and the American Scene." This was a history of American photography that covered the subject thoroughly from 1839. Walter Prichard Eaton said in the "Commonwealth Magazine" in criticizing Taft's first book, "Fortunately, Professor Taft is both a scholar who understands the techniques of research and the value of accuracy, and also a man who appreciates the picturesque and who can write entertainingly." This can be said with equal enthusiasm about the author of "Across the Years on Mount Oread." Research Done Before Although much of the research had been done before, Professor Taft did not begin to compile and to write the text until last October. Since that time, the author spent countless hours getting the manuscript ready for publication in time for the University's Diamond Jubilee. Working steadily every night in his reserved room in Watson library, Professor Taft wrote the thousands of words that went to make up the 202 printed pages in the completed book. Not once during that time did he take time off—even Saturdays and Sundays he continued his labor. Four Years Over a period of four years, the author collected numerous photographs depicting early scenes of the University. He sorted these out, and has used 180 photographs and etchings in his finished book. The pictures are so well chosen that they cover every phase of each era on Mount Oread. There are 75 sections to the book. The last section deals with such recent events as Dandelion Day, and contains two pictures that prove that the faculty Want the Best in FOOD and SERVICE Eat at the BLUE MILL It fills the bill! It fills the bill! Enjoys K. U.'s Newest Dance Spot — Upstairs in 1941 is not afraid of work. A scene in Marvin Grove shows Miss Florence Black, associate professor of mathematics, dressed in slacks, anklets and furiously digging dandelions! Comparison of Pictures Comparison of the pictures throughout the book shows the reader immediately the physical growth of the University. There are scenes of Old North College, the new Fraser hall, the stone wall that used to encircle the campus, Spooner library and many others. To show what work Professor Taft went to, to compile all of the data for the last 75 years here on Mount Oread, he has 19 pages of "Sources and Notes" in the back of the book. This is an invaluable guide to future historians and writers. Depict Early Days The frontispiece of the book is an attempt to depict Mount Oread in pre-territorial days. It is based on early photographs and topographic maps, and shows the bare "Hill" with a few horsemen and a covered wagon travelling over the supposed Oregon Trail. It is thought as nearly as can be determined from contemporary maps, that this early route to the West came up over the campus just west of the present Marvin hall, although a branch road probably came up the Hill between the present Chancelor's residence and Blake hall. In comparison, there are pictures of the town of Lawrence at the time of the founding of the University, and now. In 1867, just four years after Quantrill's famous raid, Lawrence had wooden sidewalks, hitchin' posts, dirt streets and cattle running in the downtown section! Fraser Hall a Peer Fraser hall was thought to be the latest thing in buildings in 1877 When it was officially opened to the public, Chancellor Fraser is quoted as having said. "Now, by the grace of God, we have a building nearly completed that has not its peer in the whole land. This building was not erected by the princely aid of a nobleman or millionaire, but it is the work of the people, the toiling thousands of our blood-bought Kansas. We accept it as a token of their liberality. The people have reason to rejoice with the faculty at what has been accomplished, but they cannot yet fully understand its importance." Nothing Undone Nothing Undone Professor Tait left nothing undone in his book. He has whole sections devoted to the growth of the fraternities and sororites, to the feud between the engineers and the lawyers, to the growth of the "silly idea of teaching of journalism in colleges," and he even tells of the swimming and boating that former students used to enjoy at Potter's Lake. Although this book is a history, it is definitely not "dry." There is humor in Professor Taft's writing, and there is also humor in some of the etchings he used. One, in particular, is labeled, "One of the advantages of a training in civil engineering, according to The Cicala, the annual for 1884." The picture shows an engineer sighting through his surveyor's instrument. Instead of fixing his gaze on his partner far in the distance, he is happily watching the antics of a couple of lovers. Horse and Buggy Days Student life in the horse and buggy days was not much different from now. Although there were kerosene lamps, pitchers and bowls and large wood stoves in men's rooms, there were also many pictures of beautiful women and unsightly pennants tacked on the walls. Santa Fe TRAILWAYS BUS DEPOT SANTA FE SANTA FE as he knew how and had a good time just "messin' around;" then came the famous Dandelion Day that was so successful this spring. During World War There is also the history of Dandelion Day. That is, throughout the book, the reader learns of various celebrations that students have had in the spring. The Seniors used to have the celebration; then came the May-pole fight and the junior men would erect a pole forty feet high and raise their class colors—it was up to the other students to tear them down; later came Hobo Day when everyone dressed as horrible With the coming of former Chancellor Lindley, the campus seemed to pop up with new buildings. During his many years as head of the University such buildings as Watkins hospital, Snow hall and the library were erected. The stadium and the Memorial Union building were built. During the last World War there were cantonments erected on the campus. The University company of the Kansas National Guard threw up tents and even drilled on the present lawn of Frank Strong hall. At Commencement in 1918, Chancellor Strong unfurled the first service flag of the University. It contained nearly two thousand white stars and eight gold ones. - SANTA FE BUS travel costs less than any other form of first class transportation in America!

Ticket Sales Booming Birthday Dinner Ticket sales for the Seventy-fifth Anniversary dinner Saturday have surpassed expectations for this early date, Leslie Waters, chairman of the entertainment committee, said yesterday. The number of students who have bought tickets is surprising, he added. The Seventy-fifth Anniversary dinner is one of the highlights of the whole celebration, as it is the official recognition of the birthday of the University. Virtually every notable or near notable who has attained fame after graduation from the University of Kansas will be here to pay homage to K.U. and the committee has made special arrangements for them to be heard over the National Broadcasting Company's blue network hookup. The broadcast will be at 7 p.m. for one-half hour. Old Songs Revived The dinner begins at 5:45, and it is imperative that the crowd be there on time in order to avoid confusion during the broadcast. The dinner program will begin with "Onward Kansas," sung by the glee club, and greetings from Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Governor Payne Ratner. Following this will be several numbers by an octette from the School of Fine Arts. They will sing songs that were popular during the era when the University was founded, and will include such memorable bits as "Lily Dale," and "Take Back My Heart." There will be short talks by Alfred M. Landon, William Allen White, and Ben Hibbs, editor of the Country Gentleman, who is the main speaker of the evening. The following short skit by Mrs. A. J. Mix will be performed around a huge birthday cake, measuring 30 inches square, Will Receive Souvenirs 24 inches high, and decorated with 75 candles. Next will come dessert, after which friends will have an opportunity to meet each other. People will leave carrying the Jayhawk souvenirs which they received at the beginning of the dinner. They were designed by Bernard "Poco" Frazier, after his famous "wounded Falcon" pattern, and were produced by Eldon Tefft of the School of Fine Arts. Reservations for the dinner must be in by Thursday night, June 5. Tickets for the dinner cost $1 apiece, and may be obtained at the alumni office, room 2, Frank Strong hall; in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall, or at the Round Corner Drug store at Eighth and Massachusetts street. Tickets for the Sunset barbecue and Coronado Entrada may be obtained at the same places. The thirty-ninth summer session of the University will open June 11, 1941. Summer Students Registration Will Begin June 10 Students will register in Frank Strong hall, beginning June 10, not after June 11. Enrollment will be in Robinson gymnasium June 11. The methods for enrollment and registration are the same as in regular sessions. Classes will begin on Thursday morning, June 12. The University Health Service will continue in operation and Watkins Memorial hospital will remain open during the University summer session this year. This will be the first time since the health service was organized in 1906 that the hospital will remain open during the eight week summer session to provide health facilities for the summer students, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the health service, said yesterday. Two physicians, a pharmacist, a laboratory technician, a secretary and four nurses will be the staff. This is about a third of the regular staff. The service will be the same as during the regular school term, except that physical examinations of new students will not be required. Any student who desires to take an examination may do so and the staff urges all students who plan to continue in school next fall to have their physical examinations during the summer. The dispensary in the hospital will be open from 8 in the morning until 1 o'clock in the afternoons except Sundays.

The tower will be open to visitors in connection with the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration from 2 p.m., June 9, and from 10 a.m. June 10, throughout both days. Elliott has conducted many famous visitors through the tower, including President Hayes and General Grant. Grant said that he had seen nothing more beautiful than the view from this tower. Grant had just returned from a trip around the world. The red roof of Fraser is the highest point in Douglas county. ENTRADA THURSDAY— (continued from page one) peering in the mountains, are the largest ramps ever moved. They weight about 7.500 pounds. Another interesting phase of the big setting is the Grand Canyon set which gives a true picture of the Grand Canyon in perspective. The response of the Lawrence public to the Coronado shirts, ties and hats has been even greater than the committee anticipated. Twice Alum To Lecture On Poe's Works Another addition has been made to the program for the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration. Sidney Prentice, a graduate of the University in 1896, will lecture on Edgar Allen Poe at 2:30 o'clock Thursday, June 5, in Fraser theater. Prentice, who is an artist for the Carnegie museum in Pittsburgh, Pa., has studied Poe's writings for many years, and will present modern appraisals of his work. His lecture will be accompanied by colored lantern slides illustrating one of Poe's most famous poems. His lecture will be presented under the auspices of the Lawrence Art club. the stock of Spanish garb has been depleted. However, all the business men are not yet cooperating. From now until the production, business men and clerks who who are found not wearing at least one of the Coronado items will be hauled into the Junior Chamber of Commerce Kangaroo Court. Judge Steve Hinshaw will hear the cases and infractions will be liable for a ducking or the purchase of two tickets to the Entrada. Admission prices are 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children under 12 years of age. JAYHAWKER AS NUTTY AS A FRUITGAME Through Wednesday JAYHAWKER TY AS A FRUITCAKE... and twice as Spicy!

The da- Fifty-eight students of the University will act as guides during the twenty-fifth Anniversary celebration, dressed in the authentic costume of 1866. The hoop-skirted dresses were designed and made by Virginia Griswold, college freshman, under the direction of J. Allen Reese, dean of the School of Pharmacy. Reece formerly taught in Virginia and has had a great deal of experience with old-fashioned costumes. The dresses the guides will wear are made of flowered batiste and organdy and are identical to those of 1866 except for the zippers, the picoted edges on the ruffles and the machine sewing. The skirt of the dresses are made with two hoops, which are so large they have to be placed on the back of the seats or out the windows of an automobile. The guides are meeting at 4 o'clock this afternoon and will be shown how to handle the hoops and walk with them. 883 Seniors Will Get Diplomas Monday The image shows a man sitting at a desk, writing on a large sheet of paper. The document appears to be filled with printed text or charts, but the details are not clearly visible. The man is dressed in a suit and tie, suggesting a professional setting. The background is blurred, indicating that the focus is on the person and their work. There are no other discernible objects or people in the frame. Chancellor Deane W. Malott signs one of the 883 diplomas which graduating seniors will receive on Monday night. Black caps and gowns will make their initial appearance on the campus this year as 883 undergraduates file from Frank Strong hall into memorial stadium for Baccalaureate exercises at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 8. The Rev. F. C. Lawrence, rector of St. Peter's Episcopal church, Cambridge, Mass., will speak at Baccalaureate on "Builders, Yesterday and Today." Lawrence is the grandson of Amos A.

Entrada Opens Two Night Stand Diamond Jubilee Begins NUMBER 157. Hodgson To Fill Hargiss' Role As Coronado With Arthur Hodgson, Lyons attorney, replacing Bill Hargiss, injured University track coach, in the role of Coronado, the Entrada will open a two night stand at 8:15 o'clock tonight in Memorial stadium. Final rehearsal for the mammoth outdoor pageant was held last night in Memorial stadium when the entire cast of 485 persons, with the exception of the character of Coronado, went through the 18 scenes of the production. Injured in Dress Rehearsal Substitution of Hodgson for Hargiss was announced yesterday morning after Hargiss had received a broken leg and broken ribs at the Tuesday night dress rehearsal when his horse fell on him. Erection of the steel framework to support the scenery was begun last Sunday and was completed Monday evening in time for the rehearsal to be held on the field. The accident occurred when Hargiss was practicing a scene which called for him to ride his white horse over a ramp.

Seniors Engineers Requested To Meet with Jakosky All senior engineers planning to be graduated this commencement have been requested by Dean J. J. Jakosky to be present at a meeting in room 206 Marvin hall at 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning. 75th Celebration Climaxes Three Years of Work Climaxing 75 years of University progress and three years of constant work, with three heads of the general operating committee having taken part in plans, the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration began today. Plans began three years ago under the regime of Chancellor E. H. Lindley, and have reached their termination after his death. U. G. Mitchell, professor of mathematics, who was the first chairman, left the University for a year's leave of absence; his successor, T. H. Marshall, professor of chemical engineering, was called to the army, and Leonard Axe, professor of economics, completed the arrangements begun by his two predecessors. Enormous Amounts of Work Committees have done enormous amounts of work in addition to their regular teaching duties, and faculty members have cooperated to provide exhibits for each department of the University. In 1866 old North College sat, lonely and wind-swept on the brow of the hill where Corbin hall now stands. Faculty members had just been selected for the fall term, and the University was about to open its doors for the first time. In 1883 Prof E. H. S. Bailey came to the University as a professor. At 3 p.m. Friday a plaque will be presented to commemorate him in the chemistry laboratories which bear his name. (continued to page eight) Smith Is New Education Head ★★★ Dr. George Baxter Smith, associate professor of education at the University of Iowa, as been appointed dean of the School of Education at the University of Kansas, Chancellor Deane W. Malott announced. Dr. Smith will succeed Dean Raymond A. Schwegler who, having reached the administrative retirement age, will continue as a member of the education teaching staff. Doctor Smith is a graduate of the University of Minnesota with the degree of bachelor of science in 1929, and a Master of Arts degree in 1930. He continued his advanced graduate study at Teachers' College, Columbia University, and received the Ph.D. degree there in 1935. He was on the education faculty of Buffalo (1) Dr. G. B. Smith University from 1935 to 1939, and at the University of Iowa for the past two years. During the summer of 1935, he served as specialist in the training of teachers for adult education in the state programs of Kentucky and Rhode Island. During the summer of 1936, Doctor Smith was visiting lecturer on adult education at the University of Minnesota. He has specialized on work both in adult education and in secondary education. His work in secondary education at Columbia was taken with such men as Briggs, Fretwell, Kandel, Counts, Reeves, Rugg, Powers, and others. From 1930 to 1934, he taught in the Woodstock, Ill., public schools. At the University of Iowa, his chief interests have been teacher training and graduate courses in supervision, curriculum, and seminars in secondary education.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE THREE From Early Days University Life Mirrored By Its Paper Kansan's History Covers 67 Years Like any other newspaper, the history of the UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN unfolds the history of its community—the University of Kansas over a period of 67 years. It is probably the most reliable, most accurate, and fullest account of the changes that have taken place in that period of time that exists today in printed form. ☆ ☆ ☆ Books have been written about the history of Mount Oread, to be sure; but the gradual growth of a student publication, the tale of the feuds that exist, the stories behind the traditions of the campus—only the KANSAN files hold these interesting and nearly forgotten secrets. First Student Newspaper C. A. M. Nearly two decades before the Gay Nineties, the members of the Natural History Society of the University helped issue the first student newspaper when they properly named the Observer of Nature. W. Osburn, editor and proprietor of the Observer of Nature, said in the first edition, "We present a paper which in no way claims to be strictly scientific. It will represent the best interests of the University, and in all its researches of nature will ever seek the truth." Imagine the publication of the students at the University of Kansas being a "nature" sheet. More peculiar, the first three volumes of this newspaper supported itself without a line of advertising! The stated terms of the paper were, "Twenty-five cents in advance; single five, 6 cents." Devoted to University Matters More than two of the 12 columns of the paper were devoted to "University Matters," under which head was given this item: "The Freshman class has lately begun the study of ancient history. The first lesson assigned them was the book of Genesis." In those days they had athletes, too. They didn't have a sports page, but the members of the Natural History Society devoted a whole column to physical education. Under "Base Ball," the paper read, "The University boys have organized a strong Base Ball Club this spring with F. T. Botsford at its head. Enough persons have already joined the club to make two good nines." This beginning student publication continued with fair regularity for a few semesters, but the Observer of Nature came to a close at the end of the third volume. Before this first paper went out of existence, it was connected with GOIN' HOME?...

NATION-WIDE RAIL-AIR SERVICE the second ancestor of the KANSAN, the Kansas Collegiate, during the school year 1875-76. This paper was devoted to general literature and University news. There was little editorial matter, and again no advertising. Volume II of the Collegeate was no longer connected with the Observer which had been discontinued at the end of the previous year. This second volume of the Kansas Collegiate was more nearly like the newspaper of today. The size of the paper was doubled, and a page was devoted to advertising, chiefly of Lawrence business concerns. Literary articles predominated; but there were more editorials and, also, an exchange column. ☆ ☆ ☆ Audited by Student Association The next year, 1877 and 1878, the Collegiate was printed in two columns. Scientific articles, such as "The Radiometer," by George E. F. W. B. Hale Journalism chairman—1930 Patrick, professor of physics and chemistry, were numerous. The paper was published by an association of students, and the subscription price was raised to 75 cents a year. ☆ ☆ ☆ With the May issue of 1878, W. H. Carruth, famous University poet and professor of English, took charge of the paper. A distinct change was marked in the direction of more literary matter and news. The volume closed with No.9, issued in June, and contained the Commencement speeches. The fall of 1878 saw three papers trying to get the support of the student body. They ran simultaneously throughout most of the year. They were the Collegiate and the Courier, organs of the Oread and Orophilian literary societies respectively, and M. A. HARVEY Dean of journalism professors—1941 the University Pastime, a private venture of two lower classmen. Vigorous Rival Appears We'll be waiting for you to call next fall the number's 363.

And to all Undergraduates here's wishing you a very happy vacation. The Courier was a vigorous rival of the Collegiate, probably because of the mutual jealousy of the two literary societies. But after a short time, although the papers did not actually consolidate, the Courier From 1879 until 1895, several weekly papers were published, but no dailies were issued. The University News, a weekly, ran from Sept. 15, 1884, until Nov. 4, 1884. The University Times, another weekly publication, started on Oct. 5, 1888, but continued for only one year. The Weekly University Courier did manage to meet expenses for nearly 11 years—from 1884 to 1895. Start Weekly in 1889 The University Pastime was published semi-monthly for slightly more than a year. The two young editors evidently thought that the University students should play more, for the first issue that came out on Sept. 16, 1878, began its introductory story with, "The University Pastime has been started in order to create a greater interest in the various amusements and recreations which tend to rest the brains and invigorate the bodies of the University students." The University needed a good newspaper, and it found in Prof. E. M. Hopkins, now a retired professor of English, just the man to get one started. He established the UNIVERSITY KANSAN and ran it as a weekly during 1889 and 1890. often the idea of having the paper (continued to page five) Now!

Kansan's History Covers 67 Years (Continued from page three) run by one man was not satisfactory to the college public, so a Kansas University Publishing Association was formed. Under the new management, editors were elected by the student body. About 1891 Dean F. W. Blackmar suggested that the University well might offer a course in journalism, and he asked Hopkins if he were willing to initiate it. During the first semester of 1891-92 such a course was offered, perhaps the first of its kind in the United States. This was before colleges had begun to consider giving courses in journalism. The newspaper men of that time didn't believe in teaching such a subject. According to them the only way one could become a good newspaper man was to "eat ink and sleep on the composing stone." Discontinued in First Year After one semester the course was discontinued because of the small enrollment. Not until 1900 did the University of Missouri offer what was probably the first regular course in journalism in the country.

At that time it was in the department of English, but the teaching of journalism at the University of Kansas has been continued ever since.

HASKELL The Kansas City Times It will be hard for Kansas University graduates, especially for graduates of the department of journalism, to think of the department without Prof. Leon Nelson Flint as its head. An unassuming, modest man, Leon Flint has impressed his personality on his students. With his keen sense of humor he has been accustomed to light up his teaching with witty comments and observations on the newspaper scene. The photographs of famous editors that he has accumulated in the corner of the newsroom of the Daily Kansan, the student publication, he has made contribute to the instruction of his pupils. Passing through the room, he often would stop to comment or tell some illustrative anecdote about one of the editors. THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1941. His books show his grasp of the fundments in the field and his high ideals of journalism as a profession—for to Leon Flint journalism always has been a profession and not a "game," as it so often is called. Because he honored his calling he has taken especial pride in his conferences of high school students whom he sought to interest in newspaper work. Leon Flint has taken a genuine interest in all those who came under him. He always has been ready with sympathy and advice. At the depth of the depression when jobs were few, the possibility that graduates might not be able to place themselves caused him real anxiety. His proverbial honesty is exemplified in one of his letters of recommendation. "This man is no world beater," he wrote, "but few of us are." It is pleasant to know that, while Professor Flint is to be relieved of the details of administrative work. he will go on with his teaching Fortunately for the undergraduates and the University the wholesome influence of Leon Flint is to continue on Mt. Oread. 'Daddv' Flint Retires By William Dougherty, The Kansas City Kansan. "Daddy Flint's boys and girls" throughout the country, and there are a lot of them—1,222, by recent count—along with countless other newspaper folks and fellow educators who have been his associates, note with regret that the veteran chairman of the department of journalism at the University of Kansas is retiring from the administrative duties at the end of this term. They are glad to see that he is to continue teaching in the department. The term "Daddy" Flint is used widely, respectfully and accurately, for the one thing that his former students remember about him above everything else is the personal interest that he took in them while in school and that he still takes as he follows their varying fortunes. Relieved of administrative details now to go to some younger man, Professor Flint is due many more useful, fruitful years as a teacher in the department he has built. Professor Flint has been teaching fledgling newspaper people at K.U. for 35 years, heading the department for 25 of those years. That makes him dean of American teachers of journalism. But his influence has not been confined to the classroom. Always in close contact with newspaper editors, especially those of the state, many of whom are his former students, he has a constant worker for building and maintaining professional standards. 'Dean' Flint By Fred W. Brinkerhoff. Pittsburg Sun-Headlight. L. N. Flint is retiring at the end of the current year as head of the department of journalism at the University of Kansas. Mr. Flint is the dean of American teachers of Journalism Thirty-five years ago he became a member of the staff of the University's journalism department Twenty-five years ago he became head of the department. More than 1,200 students have completed their work under Dean Flint Many of them have risen to high places in newspaper and other journalism They are scattered not only over the country but over the world. The personnel of Kansas newspaperdom has scores of Flint's students. In addition to his educational work, his administering of the affairs of the school of journalism including several sidelines such as the newspaper roundtables, the Kansas editors' hall of fame and the conference of high school editors and conference of teachers of journalism, Mr. Flint has written three or four books that are widely used as textbooks in journalism throughout the country. There will be sincere regret on the part of graduates and former students of the journalism department at the University of Kansas, as well as on t.e part of Kansas newspaper folks generally, that retirement time for Dean Flint has arrived. But there will also be congratulations and best wishes for him on the completion of such a long period of service and for the enjoyment of his retirement. Kansas publishers may be missing his frequent letters seeking jobs for worthy young journalists at K.U. But it is probable that the dean will fill in part of his time by writing letters to publisher friends asking them to consider K.U students for jobs.

ROCK CHALK TALK Shern lamb Ray Eley, Sig Ep, owes his mowed down appearance to Jan Granger, Chi Omega. On a coke date last week she persuaded him that he needed a crew cut, took him right into the barber shop, and saw that his hair was clipped short before he had time to think the situation over. "We need have no more fears for the government," beamed one star student. "Taggart has the reins" When J. H. Taggart, professor of economics, left for Washington, D.C., for his new job with the Department of Commerce, students rejoiced. Those in the botany class of Worthie Horr, associate professor, have been kicking themselves ever since they took their final last week. He gave them a line, "The questions you ask indicate your knowledge of the course;" then had them ask questions. Catch was that each student had to answer his own question, hard and long, for the final. Hollywood hotshot Ted North's Phi Psi brothers called him collect at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning. A month before Ralph Miller had threatened that if he did not hear from North in a month, he would call and reverse charges. Tribute To Flint In Kistler's Speech North accepted the call, and proudly told the boys that he is going to marry Mary Beth Hughes, voluptuous blonde star whom you may remember for her charming of the "Cisco Kid" or her work with Don Amchee in "Four Sons." EDITER'S NOTE: The following speech was made by Jack Kistler in 1937 when he presented Mr. Flint a watch and radio as gifts of alumni Mr. Flint delivered the alumni achievement address at the 1937 Commencement. Back in 1897, when the teaching of journalism in colleges was looked upon somewhat askance by the mass of newspaper workers, the first courses in journalism were organized at this University under the director of E. M. Hopkins, professor of English. These courses proved to be not only popular, but valuable as well, so that by 1906 the University felt called upon to draft as a lecturer in journalism a These courses proved to as well, so that by 1906 the Uni as a lecturer in journalism at young man who then was the alumni secretary. Dean of Journalism Schools Shortly thereafter, this man became a permanent member of the faculty of the University, and for more than 30 years he has devoted his life to the teaching of journalism. His rise was not meteoric, but steady and merited, so that by 1916 his interest and enthusiasm were rewarded when he was made chairman of the department. He still holds this position, and along with it he has the distinction of being the dean of all journalism heads in the United States in years of service. He is the author of three published books, "Newspaper Writing in High Schools," "The Editorial," and "The Conscience of the Newspaper," all of which are widely used as texts. Holds Respect of All He has seen more than a thousand young men and women come to this University for instruction in journalism, and to each of them he gave something, out of his store of knowledge and kindly interest, which has had a large part in shaping their careers. Many of these students have risen high in the ranks of the profession, and today there are probably more renowned journalists in the East—the center of the Fourth Estate—who came under the influence of this man than of any other one person. Prof. Leon Nelson Flint is to Kansas journalism what Walter Williams was to Missouri, and what Willard Grosvenor Bleyer meant to Wisconsin. He is known and beloved by every Kansas editor, and he holds the respect and admiration of teachers of journalism throughout the United States. To his former students he is known as "Daddy" Flint, a title not lightly bestowed, but one well-deserved and well-worn. Mr. Flint is extremely modest and would no doubt disclaim any credit for the successes of his former students. But the list of those who are prominent is large, as we have noticed from his own account of their achievements, and he may well take pride in their record. Tributes From Students I want to read only two tributes out of the many which have been paid to him. Ralph Ellis, formerly managing editor of the Kansas City Journal Post, and at present with Foreign Language Newspaper Service Corporation, Chicago, writes as follows: "I think there is no one on the Hill who has worked harder or done more for the youngsters under his supervision than Professor Flint." John M. Henry, for many years a successful newspaper publisher, and at present general manager of the Central States Broadcasting System, says: "L. N. F. was so modest that it was not until we were several years away from him that we began to appreciate him." A short time ago a spontaneous movement began among Mr. Flint's former students to raise a fund by which we might show, in some measure, our appreciation to the man we all love and respect. And so I am here today, Mr. Flint, representing the more than a thousand former students of yours to present you with a small token of our esteem and affection. It is engraved quite simply with these words: "To Leon Nelson Flint From His For Students, June 7, 1937." While this inscription is quite inadequate to express our real feelings, we trust that you will accept it with our best wishes for many more fruitful years as head of the department of journalism at the University of Kansas. In addition, you will receive, also, a radio, which you are to select yourself. THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1941.

During the last World War, a military editor was added to the Kansan staff. Many well-known campus personalities of today were at some time associated with the KANSAN. From the KANSAN files of Oct. 7, 1920, is the following: "The circulation of the UNIVERSITY DAILY Dr. Lisle M. Wyatt, physician of the health service at Watkins Memorial hospital, will be a member of the staff of the health service at to University of Oregon, Eugene, this fall. Winfred Nash, pharmacy junior, received a gunshot wound in the left arm Tuesday night, when a 22 caliber rifle was accidentally discharged. Dr. Glenn H. Baird, of the University of Kansas hospitals, will be a member of the summer health service staff at Watkins Memorial hospital. KANSAN is greater this year than ever before," said Deane Malott, the circulation manager. "About 2,000 copies are printed daily of which 1,000 are delivered by carrier to students living in Lawrence, and the other 1,000 are sent by mail to points in all parts of the world. Copies of the KANSAN are mailed daily to 35 states of the Union, the District of Columbia, Canada, England, the Philippine Islands, and Cosa Rica." (The Deane Malott quoted is now Chancellor of the University.) In 1923 the Kansan board voted that all privileged court news was to be printed. In that year telegraph service from the United Press was added. Tried Several Forms The appearance of the KANSAN seemed to reflect the "times" during the '20s. With students in a restless state of mind, the staff tried several different forms. The paper, in 1924, was regularly a seven-column, four-page edition. A special eight-page edition was a novel feature. Another edition was an example of "yellow" journalism. Two tabloid issues were printed. These were eight pages with only four columns. The yellow sheets were a hit. The stories were written in the regular KANSAN style but were headed with black headlines—and called "jazzy" by the conservatives of the era. The year 1926 was one of feuds and revival of traditions. Music 5 DAYS Today JAYHAWKER BLONDE BOMBER She flew them into the Ground!

The men journalists revived the tradition of wearing corduroy trousers. The journalists boasted that their tradition was better than that of the lawyers. Seniors laws have been known to lay down their canes and walk off absent-mindedly without them. Knowing that the lawyers and the engineers had never been friends, the Kansan board hit upon a new plan allowing the editorial page of the KANSAN to be edited for a day by the Schools of Engineering, Law, and Fine Arts. The engineers answered and put out an interesting sheet. The other two schools did not respond. THURSDAY NIGHT — Miscellaneous Cosmetics. First come, first served for extra articles for your set!

Chancellor Presents Budget For Next Year The University's $2,019,008 budget for the school year 1941-42 was announced today by Chancellor Malott as finally approved by the Board of Regents. The budget represents a $28,000 decrease over the expenditures by the University in 1940-41. Less money will be spent on salaries and maintenance next year despite the $71,000 increase in the University budget appropriated by the state legislature this spring. The decrease was made by figuring on a 20 percent enrollment drop for next year. Chancellor Malott explained the decrease by saying that the budget was made up on the philosophy that in this time of national emergency it was impossible to predict what next year's enrollment would be. The budget for local University expenditures was $1,613,122 including costs anticipated for the new secretarial training course. Next year's curriculum will be streamlined, according to the Chancellor, with many courses that have been deadwood being dropped from the schedule. The heads of all departments were asked by the Chancellor this year to reappraise their courses in light of the national emergency. Next year more courses to aid the national defense effort will be in operation and about 75 courses that were offered this year will be dropped from the schedule. Combine Services Sunday One of the most impressive and inspiring aspects of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary will be the Sunday Morning Union Church Service, in Hoch auditorium at 11 a.m., Sunday, June 8. Invitations, signed by Chancellor Deane W. Malott, and Russell Carter, chairman of the Ministerial Alliance of Lawrence, have been sent to ministers and leaders of church groups in Douglas county. Bundles Group Collects $155.54 At Bridge Party Through cooperation of Lawrence merchants, and University students the Bundles for Britain group collected $155.54 at the benefit bridge party last week in the Lawrence Community building. The organization sent money to help the 40 worst-bombed hospitals in the London area. Prizes and refreshments at the party were donated by Lawrence merchants. NYA Application Deadline Set for August 1 All applications for N.Y.A. positions for next fall must be in at the N.Y.A. office before Aug. 1, Velma Wilson, executive secretary, said today. The number of students employed through this office was about 75 smaller than last year, Miss Wilson said. When this year's seniors depart from the campus they will leave a memorial to the University which will be enjoyed by the entire student body for years to come. Seniors Will Furnish Room In Union Wing The class is setting aside a trust fund which will be used to furnish and decorate one of the rooms in the proposed new north wing of the Memorial Union building. The seniors have chosen the special room for dining and dancing which will be located in the subbasement of the new addition. The fund for the decorations will be left with the Alumni Association, to be used as soon as 43 the north wing has been added. SEVENTY-FIFTH— (continued from page 104) In 1903 Dyche Museum of natural history was erected, and soon housed the finest collection of specimens of its kind in the mid-West. It was closed for extensive repairs and remodeling in 1932 and will be reopened at 4 p.m. tomorrow, with the dedication speech by Dr. Alexander Wetmore, director of national museums. Also in 1903 Professor E. M. Hopkins of the department of English conducted the first class in News Writing. In 1906 Prof. Leon Nelson Flint was drafted from his position as alumni secretary to become the first lecturer in journalism. In 1916 he was made chairman of the department. He has announced his retirement as chairman of the department, and the Flint Dinner, to be held in the ball room of the Memorial Union building tonight at 6:15 will honor this teacher, who for 35 years has followed closely the history and development of the University. More than 300 of his former students and friends will be present. Other High Spots Other high-spots of the Anniversary will be class reunions, with luncheons, dinners, and breakfasts. The general alumni meeting at 9:45 a.m. Monday will give old grads a chance to get together and reminisce. A barbecue in the stadium tomorrow night will provide food and entertainment, and students, faculty, and alumni will assemble for the Seventy-fifth Anniversary dinner Saturday, June 7. The Baccalaureate exercises Sunday night will be conducted by Rev. Frederic Lawrence, grandson of the man for whom the town was named. Commencement Monday night will lend a fitting touch of dignity to the festivities, as the Seventy-fifth Anniversary comes to an end. NOW SATURDAY 20c John Moffit's Story! Dynamic Drama!

Although time has somewhat overshadowed the memory of its founding, the early days of its growth and establishment remain alive and real in the memory of Prof. L. N. Flint, retiring head of the department who was one of the members of the first faculty and helped establish it as a division of the College. Flint can recall vividly the volunteer reporting classes that worked with a class in newspaper study under the department of English in writing articles that were printed in local papers and in the independently-managed University Kansan. THE MOTION PICTURE SHOW The establishment of journalism as an independent department, however, does not completely cover the history of this study at the University. Technically the department cannot be claimed as the first in the United States. However, in 1891 Prof E. M. Hopkins taught a course in reporting that may possibly be claimed as the first course in journalism ever to be offered in the United States. Three Students Enrilled It was in this year that Dean F. W. Blackmar, who had become interested in journalism, suggested that Hopkins teach a course in reporting (Continued on page three) L. N. FLINT 'The Skipper' Retires As Department Head Today the dean of American teachers of journalism retires from his 25 years of service as the head of the department of journalism at the University. For 35 years Prof. L. N. Flint has been connected with the Kansas department of journalism, and since 1916 he has been chairman. (Continued on page two) Hundreds to Hear Clapper's Address More than 300 past and present students, Kansas editors, and friends will gather around a table in the ballroom of the Memorial Union building at 6:15 tonight to pay tribute to the dean of American professors of journalism, Leon Nelson Flint, who is retiring this spring as head of the department of journalism Suggests Second Generation Club The formation of a second-generation Flint club has been suggested by A. E. Palmer, advertising manager of the Santa Fe Trail Transportation company in Wichita. A student in the department in 1914, Palmer is the father of Ed Palmer, college sophomore. Other members of the two-generation group are Oscar Stauffer, student in 1912 and now a leading Kansas publisher, and his son Stan Stauffer, junior in the department; and C. W. Kanaga, student in 1911 and now advertising manager of Jenkins Music company in Kansas City, and his son, Clint Kanaga, junior in the department. Five Star Final Tonight's program will be one of "fives for Flint." "The Skipper" is retiring at the age of 65. He has been a member of the department 35 years; head of the department 25 years; and the event is tied in with the Seventy-fifth Anniversary. at the University after a quarter of a century of service. With William Allen White, the sage of Kansas editors, acting as toastmaster, and Raymond Clapper, former student of the department and now ace Washington correspondent, the speaker of the evening, the dinner will provide a climax to Flint's long career of service. Plans for the banquet were started in January although Mr. Flint was not informed until late in April. The dinner will be unique in that it is strictly an invitational affair. Oldest of the journalism school executives in years of service, Flint will retire July 1 at the age of 65. He has been a member of the department for the past 35 years and plans to teach for another five seasons before scratching a "30" on his record of service to the newspaper profession. Speaker In This Afternoon Clapper, who studied under Professor Flint in 1915 and 1916, probably will devote the first part of his speech to recalling memories of his work in the department before turning to a discussion of the press and world affairs. He arrived in Kansas City late this afternoon by air. He will return to Washington by sleeper plane late tonight. His total time allotment in the Mid- (Continued on page three) Working Guests Clapper, White To Help University Celebrate RAYMOND CLAPPER Raymond Clapper and William Allen White. They might be classified as "working guests" of the University during the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration. Clapper will work his way through the week by serving as principal speaker at the Flint Dinner, June 5. "Bill" White has an even tougher job. He is the man who has to tell a funny story about each of the guests at the Flint dinner—for he's the toastmaster. Clapper has had what might be termed a whirlwind career, with a typewriter following him all the way through the whirlwind. Whirlwind Career The now-eminent political commentator was born in LaCygne in 1892, and went to high school in Kansas City, Kan. He enrolled at the university in 1913 and was married to Olive Ewing the same year. He remained in college three years, then gave it up to accept a position as reporter on The Kansas City Star. Was President of SDX Later he went to the United Press and his work took him to Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, New York, and finally to Washington, D. C. There he was chief political writer from 1923 to '28 and manager of the Washington bureau from 1929 to '34. His present political column has been a feature of Scripps-Howard newspapers since 1936. In 1938 Clapper was elected national honorary president of Sigma Delta Chi, national journalism fraternity. Call Him Bill Called "bill" by everyone who knows him, White has been, since 1895, the editor of a paper in a small Kansas town of less than 15,-000. Today the Emporia Gazette is one of the world's most famous newspapers, and Bill White's influence cannot be gauged even by the number of his readers. Bought Paper in 1895 Bill White was born in Emporia in 1868, went to high school in El-Dorado, and tried college in Emporia for a few months in 1885. He entered the University of Kansas in 1886 and stayed till 1890, but he didn't graduate. He quit to take a job on the ELDorado Republican at $18 a month. He worked up the scale on the Republican until he became managing editor, then went into a bigger field and started writing editorials for The Kansas City Star. In 1895 White borrowed $3,000, and bought the Emporia Gazette. THE MARTIN SMITH AUCTION WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE The KANSAN Comments ... UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS In Appreciation By George Sitterley, '41 THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1941 This shall be no eulogy. High-flown praise, though honest, might defeat the purpose of voicing gratitude for the guidance, the encouragement, and the friendship Prof. L. N. Flint has given his students. No man would receive a flowery ecomium with more incredulity and distaste than "Pop" Flint. Instead, this is the appreciation of all his students as he relinquishes the official leadership of the department of journalism, and yet continues as their "Skipper." Twelve hundred young men and women, seeking careers in journalism, have benefited from their personal contact with Professor Flint's idealism, an idealism which has been mellowed, not opposed, by hard facts and experience. Under his tutelage they have lost none of their own visions, but rather were encouraged to take their desire for perfection with them into the field. All of them are better fitted to carry out their self-appointed duties to society for having known this man who re-lives their successes and rejoices in them, just as he re-lives their troubles and is ready with advice or consolation. The unanimous approbation of his students did not come spontaneously, but has been built on a solid foundation of years of contact. We believe that not one of his proteges has been graduated from the department without experiencing at least one time when the idealism or natural impetuosity of youth conflicted with the practicability and maturity that are Mr. Flint's assets as a teacher and adviser. Time and ensuing events have shown that his wise and kindly, though sometimes hard to take, advice is given not to appease immature fancy, but to mould thereby a better journalist, a better citizen, and a better man. No teacher can be greater than his students think he is, for that greatness relies primarily on the success of his teaching, and no teacher is successful without the respect and friendship of his students. These judges hail him now, as they have done in the past and will continue to do in the future, as mentor irreplaceable and personal friend. So Long, Dad By John W. Berkebile, The Chanute Tribune. So Dad Flint's going to leave his boys! News that the Kansas University journalism department head is about to meet the deadline of his colorful career sort of tugs at the heart strings of a good many hundred former news students like ourselves who are scattered to the far corners; plug reporters on country weeklies, foreign correspondents in Hong Kong, Berlin and Madrid, ad men in New York and Dodge City, executives and editors in Philadelphia and Chicago. They've all got something in common. They felt the same pang of regret when they read yesterday about the old man calling it "30" and handing his resignation to the Chancellor. There are three of us on the Tribune who learned most of what we know about our jobs and our careers under Dad Flint's guiding hand and watchful eye. Like a whole army of other youngsters who went to the state university bent on careers as newsmen, we learned to rely on his direction. Not only that, and this may sound silly from a bunch of guys who think they're pretty hard-crusted—we developed a strong affection for the old boy, and as we got to knowing him better each year, went to him more frequently for counsel when bewildered, for help when discouraged. He was a little hard of hearing, and we'd wonder, as he sat there silently studying us, not saying a word, whether he'd heard at all. Then, after a long time, he'd have something to say. And it was always good, sound, helpful advice. It combined both wisdom and a deep human understanding. If we were hot and angry, he'd cool us off. If the battle was getting tough, and we felt like folding, he'd send us away with the old fighting spirit. That's why we called him Dad. Few men have had as great an influence on the profession as Dad Flint. In his 35 years as a trainer of journalists at K.U., he's had his boys advance to some of the leading spots in the game. They'll always remember the old man. He's quitting, but the seed he has sown will go right on growing for a long time to come. Behind the Scenes By William Allen White, The Emporia Gazette. For more than a generation at the University of Kansan, Leon Flint, head of the department of journalism, has been turning out young men and women journalists who have gone into the newspaper business in this state and all over the world and have carried the Kansas banner high. It has been elevated largely because of the ideals that he has put into their minds and hearts. Probably a majority of these young people who are now in the newspaper business have stayed in Kansas. They have helped to direct the trend and tendency of thinking and action. They have formed the web and woof of life in this commonwealth. More than any other one person in Kansas Leon Flint has been a force for Kansas righteousness. Because this state is a newspaper state. It is a newspaper state because the newspapers are on the up and up. They have influence because they are known to be incorruptible, and the man who has put the brand of integrity upon them is none other than Leon Flint, a modest, kindly, soft-spoken gentleman who, at the age of 65, is retiring from a long career as editor and teacher in the Sunflower state. His boys and girls will return June 5 to pay homage to him. It will be a notable occasion in Kansas.

ROCK CHALK TALK --daily because they were three minutes later, he came back to admonish—"And don't use that money for beer." "Pop" Flint may expend the greater part of his energies and abilities ward preparing aspiring journalists for their profession; but he is acutely conscious, also, of those students who come from other schools and departments of the University for work in one or several courses in the "shack." Consider now the nicety of courtesy he extended one "outsider" who felt the need of a nap in a class Flint was instructing. Not wishing to upset the poor fellow with daily demands that he stay awake, Flint devised an arrangement which would awaken the student rather abruptly without the usual attending embarassment. He called one of "his boys" into secret conference; thereafter when the student fell asleep, Flint would shout at the journalism major as if he, too, were asleep. The journalist would grin his enjoyment as a party to the plot, while the dozing fellow started from his nap. The "outsider" never saw through the arrangement. At times, however, even the Skipper lost patience. One day, in Magazine Writing class, he read a particularly sour piece of student writing. The writer, apparently in a mood for jesting apology, epilogued: "This manuscript was all I was able to save from the great Chicago fire." Evidently bowled over by such an ending, Flint let the paper fall to his desk, where it lay with the lower edge projecting beyond the edge of the table-top. The group of students expected some display of disapproval from the instructor and remained observant and quiet. Yet, Flint seemed to be striving to contain himself. He gazed solemnly around the room, reached almost absent-mindedly into his pocket, pulled out a book of paper matches, struck one thoughtfully, and then, as if suddenly making up his mind, he lit the paper. "I hope the writer went to no risk in saving that," he said. Every member of the class roared his approval. We liked, also, the honest good will with which the Skipier wrote an excellent recommendation for a student who wanted to go to work on a news paper rather than take another year of studies—which frankly were a bore—in order to get a sheepskin. We hasten to inform that the high recommendation was deserved, for the fellow had ability and is showing it now. Flint summed up his action with, "I was glad to do it for him. After all I flunked him out of school." Then too, the story is told about the time Flint gave several students a half dollar for sandwiches and told them not to show up for class the next day—because they were working late on an extra edition of the Kansan. 'The Skipper' Retires (continued from page one) Flint is a Kansas boy who made good in his own state. He was born Oct. 8, 1875, at Thayer. His formal schooling began at the age of 15 when he enrolled in the Lawrence high school. Before that time, he had been taught by his mother. He entered the University in 1893 immediately following his graduation from high school. In 1897 he received his degree and began teaching in Lawrence. Later he was made principal of the Olathe high school. From 1901 to 1905 he was actively interested in journalism as a half-owner and manager of the Manhattan Nationalist. He returned to the University in the fall of 1905 as the first general secretary of the Alumni association, a position which he held until he was made chairman of the department of journalism in 1916. Initiated Many Changes During these 25 years Professor Flint has initiated many changes in the curriculum. In 1920 he organized the high school conference for editors of high school papers. Each year many high school students are invited to the University to visit the journalism department. He was responsible for the starting of the Kansas Editor's Round-tables which meet every fall at the University. At these meetings newspaper editors throughout Kansas come together to compare notes and to listen to prominent journalists. Other organizations and events for whose beginning he was responsible are the Kansas Council of Teachers of Journalism, the Kansas Editors' Hall of Fame, Quarter Century Club of Kansas Editors, Editors' Day, K. Influenced Many Students U. Press Club, and many other students groups. During his years as head of the department more than 1,200 young men and women have come to this University for instruction in journalism. To each of them he gave something, out of his store of knowledge and kindly interest, which has had a large part in shaping their careers. As a reward for his work in journalism, Flint was elected president of the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism in 1927. From 1931 to 1932 he was president of the University Alumni association, and in 1937 he delivered the alumni address at Commencement. He is a member of the American Association of Teachers of Journalism, Kansas Editorial Association, Phi Beta Kappa, and other organizations. Author of Three Books Flint is the author of three published books, "Newspaper Writing in High Schools," "The Editorial," and "The Conscience of the Newspaper." The latter was one of the pioneer publications in the field of newspaper ethics. Some of his other writings are "Ten Tests of a Town," "The Editor's Easy Job," "The Paragrapher's Sprightly Art," and frequent contributions to issues of the Kansas Editor and departmental bulletins. "Daddy" Flint is the type of person one appreciates best after being away from his influence for a while. As John M. Henry, a former student, remarked, "L.N.F. was so modest that it was not until we were several years away from him that we began to appreciate him." THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1941 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE THREE Histories of Department and Kansan Blend Histories Department Here Founded In 1909 (continued from page one) (continued from page one) in the department of English. The course was included in the catalogue of the department of English that fall, but only three students enrolled. Because of this apparent disinterest the course was not offered the following semester. Popularity in reporting appeared no greater in 1903 when journalism training again was offered by the department of English, for again only three students signed up for the class in newspaper writing. After a second start the reporting course began to grow, and more students enrolled. In 1904 the students enrolled in the course helped to supply news to the recently founded University Kansan which was started as an independent student newspaper. To bolster the work of the journalism course, a volunteer group of reporters was recruited from the freshman rhetoric classes. With these reporters writing articles, other work in journalism such as copy-reading and editing was turned over to the sophomore students. Gleanings from the Hell Box L.N. Flat By David Shore Practical work in journalism thus was started at the University. Many of the writings of the student reporters were published in local papers, and some were published in the Kansan. Later the Kansan was turned over to the journalism students to manage, and at that time it became the official newspaper of the campus with support pledged to it by both students and faculty. Becomes Official Paper Lectures, along with the regular class work, were featured in these early newspaper classes. Prominent newspaper men from the state were invited to tell the students of their experiences and of the problems of running newspapers. Among the early lecturers were L. N. Flint of the Manhattan Nationalist, and Charles M. Harger of the Abilene Reflector. Both editors came to the University in 1905 as faculty members. Harger was made director of the courses in journalism, while Flint started as alumni secretary, taking charge of the volunteer reporting section in the following year. During these early years as alumni secretary Flint raised funds for a printing plant to publish the alumni magazine. This was the beginning of the growth of the printing plant that now does much of the printing for the University. Take Complete Charge In the fall of 1907, Flint and Harger Take Complete Charge took complete charge of the work in journalism as members of the department of English. At this time the course in reporting, which had been voluntary and without credit, was made an independent sophomore study and elective course for credit in that department. In the first courses were enrolled 12 students who studied newspaper writing and general newspaper administration. Under Harger the department had planned to emphasize the practical side of newspaper training such as type setting, proof reading and correcting, and press work. However courses in this training were not included. Move in 1911 In the fall of 1911 the new department of journalism moved into its own building. This was formerly the medical building which was abandoned by the medics in favor of the north half of Dyche museum. Merle Thorpe was made head of the department at that time. New courses were added when the department moved into the building. Among these were three in advertising which still appear in the catalogue of the department today. The curriculum of journalism was growing. From the first course it had developed slowly to six; and finally to the 40 which are offered today. The story of the development of the department is not complete without a resume of the career of Professor Flint. The development of journalism at the University is synchronous with the record of effort and accomplishment of the retiring head of the department. It was in 1916 that Flint was appointed chairman of the department, the post which he has filled for 25 years. There is a traditional saying at the University that the department of journalism is Flint and Flint is the department of journalism. Banquet To Draw Many Alumni (continued from page one) (continued from page one) dlewest has been limited to less than nine hours. Doors of the banquet hall will be opened five minutes before Clapper speaks to admit persons who wish to hear the columnist's address but cannot attend the banquet. The address will be broadcast over radio station KFKU from 7:35 until 8 p.m. The entire banquet has been planned with emphasis on simplicity, said Ray Heady, chairman of the faculty committee for the dinner. Heady explained that the main objective of the dinner was to get grads back so that they could shake hands and talk to Mr. Flint. Neither telegrams nor congratulatory letters will be read at the dinner. These will be present to Flint in a bound volume. The letters are expected to number more than 400. White To Present Gifts Immediately following the dinner and entertainment Toastmaster White will present a small gift from students, alumni, Kansas editors, and friends. Flint also will be presented the bound volume of congratulatory letters. Included in the volume are more than 50 messages from heads of schools and departments of journalism in other colleges and universities. The doors of the Union ballroom will be opened, and Clapper's address will follow immediately. Although the dinner will officially end shortly after 8 o'clock, an informal visiting period is scheduled to continue until later in the evening. Three Committees in Charge The three committees in charge of the dinner and their members are: Alumni committee—W. A. White, Roy Roberts, Wes Gordon, Dolph Simons, and Fred Ellsworth. Student committee-Bob Trump, Gray Dorsey, Ken Jackson, Stan Stauffer, and George Sitterley. Faculty committee—Ray Heady, Elmer Beth, T. C. Ryther, Siegfried Mickelson, and K. W. Davidson. Tonight will be the second time Mr. Flint has been presented gifts by his former students. Four years ago he was presented a watch and a radio.

When Professor Flint was a child, the doctor advised his mother against sending him to school. Mrs. Flint, although not a teacher, was a well-educated woman, and she undertook to educate her son, herself. Professor Flint recalls that until he was 15, he never entered school. His mother and a minister at Thayer taught him all his grade school lessons. In 1890 the Flint family left Thayer and came to Wellsville. At Wellsville Professor Flint went to school for a few months, but left his studies when his family came to Lawrence in 1891. The high school officials advised Professor Flint that he could not enter high school here until he had a better grounding in Latin. The summer of 1891 Professor Flint took lessons in Latin, and that fall was able to enter the Lawrence high school as a regular freshman. After his graduation of high school, Mr. Flint came to the University. His brother helped him financially, but Mr. Flint also worked. In the summers he worked for the department of buildings and grounds. "I can show you floors in some of these buildings that I nearly wore out by scrubbing," he ruefully exclaims. Once he worked at a canning factory in Lawrence. "I think that was the hardest, most monotonous, dreariest, most tedious work I ever did," Professor Flint declares. "I was relieved when I landed a job as assistant to Chancellor Snow in his laboratory. Chancellor Snow was a biologist, and he had worked out a control for chinch bugs, which were then overrunning many Kansas farms. For nearly a year Professor Flint helped the Chancellor cultivate a fungus which attacked the chinch bugs in wet weather. Professor Flint was graduated from the University with a major in philosophy and a Phi Beta Kappa key. He immediately went to work in the Lawrence high school as a teacher. After a year and a half, he took the principalship of the Olathe high school; and from there went to Manhattan a year later to be editor of the Manhattan Nationalist. "The first years I was editor of the Nationalist were the happiest of my life," he says. Mr. Flint came to the University in 1906 as first general alumni secretary. He was appointed lecturer in journalism a few years later, and in 1916 was made chairman of the department.

It is a far cry from this year of 1941 back to 1913—28 long years—when I entered the department of journalism as a neophyte . . . Students Praise Friend and Teacher Grads Recall Days With Flint ... A long time ago—21 years ago, to be exact—a young cub from Western Kansas walked into your office one autumn day. He explained that he wanted to be a writer, a newspaper man; that he wanted to be a good one, not just another hack. He believed literally that a kid could journey the long road "ad astra per aspera," and he asked you frankly if this wasn't so. And you, L.N.F., didn't disillusion him. You told him it was so—that a young cub could work and learn and climb; that the publishing world needed men with ambition and ideals. You could so easily have tossed in a dash of cynicism, but you didn't. God bless you for that! Ben Hibbs Editor, Country Gentleman ... When I think of the kind of man I want my son to be, there flashes through my mind the memory of a half dozen moulders of my own mediocre life, men whose influence I know has been a valuable asset to me. You, Mr. Flint, have earned a front seat in the company of these half dozen notables. You have earned it through your kindliness and interest in those of us who passed through your hands as budding newspaper men and women. You have earned it through your never-ending friendship for the many hundreds coming in contact with your teaching of 35 years ... Thank you for your years of devotion to us all, and I thank God for every remembrance of you. Harold H. Smith, '27 Editor, Keith County News Ogallala, Neb. ... In 20 years I have been back just once—and that stop was primarily to see you, for you' and Uncle Jimmy Green were the two men on the faculty who believed I would land right side up. I have kept the faith . . . with the rich reward of having served your fellow man well—with boys you have trained in the far corners of this great country of ours—are you going step out and visit a few of them. O. E. Hopfer, Industrial Advertising Manager, Oakland, Calif. . . . You have given yeoman service to the University of Kansas and to the young men and women of this and neighboring states who have passed through your classrooms. It has been my happy privilege to have employed several of your former students and they have always spoken in the highest terms of you. I know of no finer tribute than that a man may be held in high esteem by those who have opportunity to know him best . . . Clarence W. Moody, Chanute Tribune, Chanute, Kans. The Skipper Can't Retire Flint Committee Department of Journalism University of Kansas Gentlemen: So our friend Flint is going to retire. He can't retire. Don't he know that? Why he won't be retired even when he's occupying some quiet crypt along the Kaw many years, I hope, hence. I don't want to be saccharine about this retirement business, but in the middle of my military hegyrations the thought of Professor Flint's life on Mount Oread lends a stabilizing and hopeful influence on an otherwise rather aimless life. That's why he can't retire. I know he'll still be working for many decades in many journalistic hearts and minds. I send to Pop Flint on his retirement day my respects and regards along with, what few teachers ever get from any student, my love. . . . The Hill will not seem just the same with a new man in your job but reckon we will have to get used to it . . . C. W. Little, The Alma Enterprise, Alma, Kans. ... My congratulations to you for the unusually fine record you have always made and are making for yourself as a teacher and organizer of students, of classes, and of your department ... and finally, thank you for all the wonderful help and inspiration given to the thousands of high school and college boys and girls in the conferences and classes over which you have presided . . . Iva Belle Harper, Department of Journalism, Liberty Memorial H. S. Lawrence, Kans. May I add my congratulations and express my most sincere appreciation of the help and inspiration of the help and inspiration that you have extended to me and hundreds of other struggling young newspaper men and women of Kansas and the nation . . . "congratulations" in a case like this just doesn't seem to cover all that I would like to express. You have done a "swell job" and only the "big files" will be able to record it properly . . . Doyle L. Buckles, '20, Director, University News Bureau, University of Alabama. Now, why am I writing about myself so much? Well, it is because any success which I have attained can be traced clearly back to YOU and good old K. U. You taught me to be painstaking, conscientious, thorough, and above all, sincere in I still haven't progressed very far in the profession, but I have found that Mr. Flint's advice has kept the road from being too rocky. For this and a dozen other favors from him I am grateful. His personal ethics, I am sure, have helped to make a lot of newspapers better with so many of his boys in the field. Joseph E. Doctor, '35, Editor, The Exeter Sun, Exeter, Calif. Very, very, Ken Postlethwaite, '40, Company E, 137th Infantry, Camp Robinson, Ark. Wilbur A. Fischer, Executive, Sharon Community Chest.

Since that time when I have written, you have taken time out to answer, advise and help me-I am very grateful . . .

George Oyler, North Platte Daily Telegraph, North Platte, Neb. ... Only the prospect of seeing Professor Flint again would get me to step my foot inside an airplane ...

It has been 30 years since I walked off the Hill, yet it seems only yesterday that you were explaining the theory of advertising. . .

Kenneth E. Olson, Northwestern University. ... When one thinks of education for journalism there are a few names which immediately come to mind ... yours is one of the first of such names.

Frank L. Martin, University of Missouri. . . . Perhaps when one has taught journalism for 35 years he has had all the satisfaction possible which comes from services to youth and the making of a very real contribution to the cause of worthy journalism both in his own state and his nation, and so a message of congratulation may seem superfluous.
