MEMORIAL FOR H. B. NEWSON
CHAPEL SERVICE DEVOTED TO LATE PROFESSOR.
Dean Marvin, Prof. Dunlap, and Prof. Harshbarger Were the Speakers.
A memorial service for Professor Henry B. Newson was held in Fraser hall this morning at the regular hour for the morning chapel exercises. Before introducing the speakers, Chancellor Strong spoke of Professor Newson as one who had had much to to do with the forward movement in the University because he had the far outlook which is part of a strong character.
Prof. C. G. Dunlap spoke on Professor Newson as a personal friend who had known him in his college days as well as during his twenty years of untiring, devoted service in the University. Born in Ohio in 1860, Professor Newson, after a high school education, attended the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, Ohio from which he was graduated in 1883. He was recognized while still a youth, as a mathematician of exceptional ability and as a student of great originality.
During the following year at Johns Hopkins Professor Newson decided to devote his life to science and give his entire energies to scholarly pursuits. Te taught two years in the south and then in the fall of 1886 was able to carry out a long-cherished plan of study in Germany. During that time his main study was mathematics.
Upon his return to the United States he taught a year in Illinois and in 1890 came to the University of Kansas. Professor Dunlap spoke of the gratification to his friends that in addition to his unassuming performance of his ordinary duties Professor Newsor had been able to finish his book upon which he had jut much time and thought.
Professor Newson possessed a very retentive memory so that with a knowledge of English literature that was surprisingly broad, he freely quoted poetry of which he was very fond. This taste was realized only by his intimate friends, as anything like a mere display of knowledge was very distasteful to him.
Dean F. O. Marvin spoke of Professor Newson as a seeker for scientific truth in all the ways by which it could be found. As a teacher he was more than a drillmaster, though he did not neglect drill where it was needed. He was so stimulating and enthusiastic as an instructor that his students were interested and eager to follow his direction to ward individuality and training for research.
In speaking of Professor Newson's discoveries in mathematical territory, Dean Marvin said that his work has won recognition and praise both in America and foreign countries. The spirit of sacrifice in investigation which actuated Professor Newson caused him to achieve results and in turn to honor the society of Sigma Xi, which honors those who have a dominant spirit of investigation and search for truth.
Prof. Harshbarger of the mathematics department at Washburn, spoke of his friendship with Professor Newton gained especially through the meetings of the Kansas Academy of Science He
told of the papers read at these gatherings by Professor Newson which showed him as an original thinker. His influence for the better teaching of mathematics in the Colleges and high schools of the state would also remain as a monument to his name. This result was accomplished by Professor Newson through the Kansas Association of Mathematical Teachers, which he organized and made successful.
In speaking of a certain technical article by Professor Newson, Professor Harshbarger said that he considered it the best specimen of original work which had been done in the Middle West. He also paid a tribute to the unselfish industry of Professor Newson who was willing to build himself into the life of the state instead of looking merely for financial advancement.

"I consider football to be on a mighty unstable foundation if this school just now, and the student body and other supporters of the game ought to wake up to the fact and create a little disturbance in this immediate locality if they want to retain the game," said Coach A. R. Kennedy to a Kansan reporter today. "Arthur St. Leger Mosse voiced my sentiments exactly,' continued the coach, "in a letter I received from him the other day, in which he says:
"I suppose all you Lawrence sports are sitting around taking gas, while the Regents pin foot ball to the mat with a toe-hold."
"Of course St. Leger writes in his usual joeyal tone, but he means it, nevertheless, and he's right Football enthusiasts seem to think this abolition business is a joke, and they simply smile; but while they are smiling, the opponents of the game are industriously throwing mud, which is going to prove ruinous.
"As you know, Rugby is the game which is about to be foisted upon us. Now I don't think that game will ever fill the niche now occupied by football, because it isn't an essentially inter-collegiate game; it's merely a form of exercise.
"If Rugby were adopted here all University athleties would go to smash for the want of funds. For years, not one of the other college games has stood upon it own feet financially, at the University; they all depend, for their existence, upon the fat gate receipts of the football games. Now do you think the English game would roll the golden simoleons into the athletic coffers as foot ball does?
`The chief objection raised`
against the present game is not the danger to the player, but rather, that football training is abnormal, producing much the same effects, in after years, upon the players, as does prize fighting. Now, any professional trainer will swear, with his hand on a 3-foot stack of towels that a monstrous heart, such as is developed by the continual running in the Rugby game, is ten times more dangerous to an ex-player than all the sprains and bruises which a man can possibly receive in football. That is what they say and I'm willing to accept a trainer's word in the matter."
