Meeting of Kansas City Section of American Chemical Society.
There were very few people who did not understand what the Kansas rooters meant when they greeted Salisbury in the pole vault with the name "Phi Beta Kappa."
The rainy weather last week that most every one feared had prevented the track team from training up to the best shape Saturday, seemed to have served as a rest which brought out the best that was in the men.
In last night's Kansas City Star the Columbia correspondent attempts to apologize for Jackson's defeat Saturday by saying he was not in shape. Jackson told one of the Kansan staff after the meet was over that he had no excuses to offer, that he was feeling as well as he ever did before the meet and that he was fairly defeated in both races. We do not believe a poor excuse is better than none.
The excellent work Coach Hagerman has been doing in track athletics was brought out strongly in Saturday's meet. Three freshmen, Haddock, Cooley, and Cummins, were pitted against Missouri's veteran track men, and whenever these veterans met Coach Hagerman's freshmen they were "shown up." The race Haddock ran with Branham was certainly a phenomenal feat, and Cooley and "that man Cummins" showed in the two mile run that the coach's work had been better than the work of a certain noted coach at Missouri. It is by these new men that a coach's
work can be judged. Hagerman has produced the new men; Hagerman has made good.
At the close of the mile when the crowd went wild with the enthusiasm over Miller's victory, Jackson was seen walking toward the headquarters of his team, alone, head turned down, half dazed, and, as Victor Hugo said of Napoleon after the battle of Waterloo, "the mighty somnambulist of a vanished dream."
The following from the Baker Orange: "The Kansan says concerning the rascality of the unprincipled Professor Allen, that 'some things would make the Apostle Paul lift up his voice in despair.' Better talk about some one you know something about. Try Jesse James or Tracy,the Outlaw, for example."
It might be explained for those who don't know, that these fellows are Baker students. Jesse James once rode a horse with K. U. colors tied in its tail and Tracy once swiped a hat. Both know better now.
The recent conflict of the Missouri-Kansas track meet and the music festival concert was a condition which should have been avoided if in any way possible. The track team needed the support of every student in the University and every down town person that could spare the afternoon. Also the authorities of the festival needed the cooperation of the students in order to insure the success of the concerts they were giving. The students are willing to support all the entertainments offered by the University organizations but not under such a lack of cooperation in the fixing of dates as have just passed. The University needs a large calendar for the year and whenever an entertainment is fixed, it should be announced upon the calendar. By this means conflicts would be avoided and

This year's May music festival was carried through in a way that reflects great credit on all concerned in it. A finer array of talent than appeared in last week's concerts has never been before a University audience. The series of concerts, each one of great value and interest in itself, was so arranged as to lead up properly to the impressive finale Saturday evening, when orchestra, soloists, and festival chorus combined to produce a concert that will long hold a place in the memory of those who heard it. If succeeding festivals can equal the achievement of the one just closed, the good name of the University as a center of fine music will be firmly established.
