A MAN AND HIS UNIQUE WORK.
In the campaign to get the University closer to the grass roots of Kansas and to make it a first aid tothe people in things practical as well as in things theoretical the school has an extremely valuable asset in the person of Robert Kennedy Duncan. Chemistry is his field and utility is his watchward. Since he came to the University three years ago he has established nearly a dozen fellowships in industrial chemistry, paying from five hundred to two thousand a year. Some of the largest business concerns in the country have furnished the money, for they feel that it pays to have learned and trained men work on the problems that confront their business. Every company that has furnished a fellowship at the University has been amply satisfied with the results obtained and the extension of the industrial work is hampered only by the scarcity of men able to take up the advanced investigations. The University has received more substantial advertising among the business interests of the state through Professor Duncan's work than it received in all the former years of its existence. The industrial scholarships here are almost unique in America and they have been developed here to a further extent than in any other institution in the country. Robert Kennedy Duncan is doing a great work toward making Kansas the great practical seat of learning of the middle west.
The University should at once begin to make arrangements for high school day. Every high school boy or girl that comes to Lawrence that day should be entertained by the county clubs or by individual students. It might also be an excellent thing to have a large meeting in the evening after the track meet. At this meeting the winners might receive their cups and medals and different University people might
On Friday and Saturday Nebraska is in Lawrence to play the first Missouri Valley championship baseball games that Kansas is to have part in. The Cornhusker team played two with Missouri and broke even and they have the reputation of having a good team. The Kansas squad has not been going at its best by any means but its record has been fair. Two defeats over Nebraska will give the team confidence and will show that Kansas is a contender for the conference baseball championship.
speak to the high school visitors. The University band would be glad to play for such an event.
The debating team that leaves for Columbia tomorrow to meet the Tiger squad Saturday night, is composed of two experienced men and they should be able to give the Missourians a tussel for the honors. The debaters from Columbia defeated Kansas on the local platform last year and it is up to the present squad to get revenge in the territory of the enemy.
The basket ball team could not possibly have made a better choice for captain than they did make. Tommie Johnson, besides being the premier college player of the Missouri Valley, is a gentleman and a genuine sportsman through and through. He will make a great leader for the '09-'10 squad of basket throwers.
Cornell May Abolish Rooting.
Cornell is considering the advisability of abolishing cheering directed at the opposing players at a baseball game, especially when the pitcher is on the point of losing his nerve. This practically will mean cheering only between the innings. The New York papers are supporting Cornell.

PICTURE in your mind a soft finelywoven worsted fabric of delicate grayolive hue with a very faint red striperunning through the goods; also imagine
a rich navy blue serge, of extremely fine weave through which are woven two parallel silk threads, one of lighter bluish cast and the other a silvery gray. Better still, come and see these beautiful color blendings as they actually appear in the special suit designs featured in our men's and young men's lines at $20.
