Last Friday evening about twenty Kansans at Yale University took dinner together to celebrate Kansas Day. Of this number about ten were from the University of Kansas. Prof. W. C. Abbott, who left the University last year, was toastmaster. Prof. A. L. Corbin, K. U.'94, of the Yale Law School, made a talk on "Why Kansas Is Dry." He suggested that perhaps it was because it seldom rains here, or because most of the water is appropriated by the people of Colorado for irrigation purposes; but he thought the real reason was because the people of the state aren't thirsty. In keeping with Professors Corbin's talk, the dinner was "dry." Professor D. F. McFarland responded to the toast, "The University of Kansas," and Julius Cohn of last year's law class toasted "Uncle Jimmy." Bernard Sheridan, who was a junior law here last year, made a talk. A Y.

A small fire occurred Tuesday afternoon on the third floor of the Chemistry building but the blaze was extinguished before there was any damage beyond a few holes in the hemp matting in which it started. It was caused by the dropping of a few pieces of phosphorus upon the hall matting. At the regular meeting of the Kansan board this week Flavel Robertson, a Junior in the college and George Bowles, a college Freshman, were chosen as members of the staff of the Kansan. These men have been doing good service for some time past and were picked as the best of the contestants for the vacant places on the board. Two Board Members Chosen. Harry L. Heinzman, '06, Y.
