NUMBER 23
IN MEMORY OF DR. SNOW
SERVICES IN HONOR OF LATE CHANCELLOR HELD TODAY.
FRANCIS HUNTINGTON SNOW
Chancellor Strong, Dean Green, J. W. Gleed and Col. H. L. Moore Reviewed Life and Work.
Faculty members, students, citizens of Lawrence, and friends of the late Francis H. Snow met in chapel this afternoon to testify their love and respect for the ex-chancellor who served the University so long and faithfully.
Chancellor Frank Strong spoke for the board of regents and paid a tribute to the faithful service and constant loyalty of Dr. Snow to the University. Dean Green of the Law school, for the faculty devoted his address to Dr. Snow as a student at Williams College and told how he stood at the head of his class in that institution. He was graduated with the highest grade that up until 1862 had ever been given to a graduate of Williams College.
Owing to a misunderstanding in the date of the exercises Professor S. W. Williston, of Chicago who was to have spoken for the scientific colleagues of Dr. Snow was not here and his place on the program was taken by Dr. Carruth, who read an address which Dr. Snow delivered some years ago to a state encampment of the G.A.R.In it are included extracts from the diary of Dr. Snow written when he was with Grant's army at Appomattox.
Colonel Horace L. Moore, a fellow member with Dr. Snow in the "Old and the New" club spoke for the citizens of Lawrence. In the intimacy of the personal friendship that existed between the ex-chancellor and Colonel Moore many traits of character were revealed. The speaker said that behind Dr. Snow's firm belief in the principles of evolution was an abiding faith in God. In his social, business and scholarship relations he was always true to
that he believed to be right. For the alumni of the University James Willis Gleed of Topeka told of his first acquaintance with Dr. Snow thirty-three years ago. At that time Dr. Snow was the central figure and animating spirit of the University. He was a man of unlimited capabilities for hard work and was then engaged in the undertaking of starting the collections of natural history which have since, under his direction, become some of the finest in the United States.
The University quartette composed of John Powers, R. L. Douglas, Archie Naramore and Professor Hubach, sang "Still Still With Thee." At the conclusion of the addresses Chancellor Strong read letters from the heads of many of the larger institutions in the West expressing regret at the loss which the educational world and the University of Kansas had incurred in the death of Dr. Snow.
Dinner for Chemical Society. The Kansas City section of
the American Chemical Society was entertained by the local members with a dinner party at the Eldridge Hotel Saturday evening. Thirty members were present and discussed topics of interest. Prof. R.K.Duncan, of the Chemistry department, talked on industrial fellowships.
This society which is composed of members from Kansas City, Lawrence, Iola, Chanute, Topeka, and Pittsburg meets once a month alternately at Kansas City and Lawrence.
Missouri Valley Conference.
Manager Lansdon went to Kansas City today to represent Kansas in the Missouri Valley Conference that meets there. The Universities of Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Washington Ames and Drake are the schools in the conference. The advisability of establishing an interschool basketball championship schedule is being discussed.
Frank Ellis, a former student of the University, is now assistant telegraph editor on the Kansas City Star.
ARE BEHIND CLOSED GATES
KENNEDY AND MOSSE ARE TAKING EVERY PRECAUTION.
Varsity is Training Hard for the Nebraska Struggle.—A Fighting Chance.
Behind closed gates Coaches Kennedy and Mosse are giving the Jayhawkers a hard week of practice in preparation for the championship Nebraska game Saturday. Kennedy saw the Nebraska-Ames game last week and came back to Oread full of formations and pet plays that "King" Cole has taught his pupils. Nebraska was forced to use nearly all her new plays in the game with Ames. With the Freshmen using the Cornhushusker plays and formations Captain Crowell's regulars are playing a half hour offensive and a half hour defensive scrimmage each evening.
"Kansas has a fighting chance to beat Nebraska," said Coach Kennedy this morning. "Everyone must realize that our team is going at a faster clip every day. If they can put up a little better brand of football against the Cornhuskers than they showed against Washburn, we've got a chance."
Coach Mosse, who fathomed the Nebraska play two years ago and enabled Kansas to win an unexpected victory, was extremely well satisfied with the Washburn game. Carlson, the "Terrible Swede," was a genuine demon. In him and Reed any center and guard in the Missouri Valley will meet their match.
The game also demonstrated what the backfield really is. Myers, Bond, Fiske, and Waring are fast, heavy men, and are becoming as expert on defense as they are on offense. Dahlene was a star at full and with him and big Stephenson to hold down that position the back field shows up favorably with most teams in this section. The coaches think the punting dilemma has been solved in Tommy Johnson who is booting the ball in good form and improving every day.
