REAL LOVE OF ART IS IN THE WEST
"A HUNGER WHICH THE EAST NEVER EXPERIENCED"
Writer in Century Magazine Praises University of Kansas as an Art Center.
Leila Meechlin, assistant secretary of the American Federation of Arts, in an article on "The Awakening of the West in Art," in the Century Magazine for November gives the University of Kansas high praise as a leader in the art movement of the middle West. The writer complimentes the good work done in the department of drawing and painting at the University, and the prominent part the University has taken in securing picture exhibits. Following are some extracts from the article:
"That the University of Kansas should have borrowed in 1902 the entire permanent collection of the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburg, at the time the International exhibition was held, and the Shaw fund pictures the following year from the St. Louis exposition, is evidence of western enterprise and ambition. 'Did the people come to see these exhibitions?' said one of the University men. 'They came out from Kansas City in carloads; in all, over twelve thousand.'
"Few are aware that there is at the present time in the country beyond the Alleghanies a great force awakening which will be before long exert a powerful influence upon the development of art in America."
"There is in fact today in the West a hunger for art in its varying forms of expression that the East has never experienced.
"Characteristic of the Western attitude toward art are: A desire for the 'real thing' and an appreciation of the best. The Westerner does not care a picayune what other people think, he forms his own opinion and sticks up for it until he finds something better."
REGISTERED A QUAKE
Disturbance Was 2,500 Miles to the Northwest.
A sharp earthquake was recorded Sunday afternoon by the University seismograph. The preliminary tremors began at 2:37 o'clock and the main shock, which began at 2:45:35, lasted about an hour, gradually dying away.
The amplitude of the shoek was stronger from north to south than east to west, the distance was 2,500 miles and the reports from other stations seem to indicate that the direction of the center of disturbance was to the northwest
This is the first quake registered here since September 25.

The newspaper classes of the University have this year the largest enrollment in the history of the department. Forty-three sophomores are enrolled in reporting, with a dozen seniors in editing.

Advertising is this year to receive more attention than heretofore. A series of addresses on advertising will be given in mid-winter by Marco Morrow, advertising manager of the Capper publications, Topeka. It is probable that a meeting of representatives of the Ad clubs of the middlewest will be held at Lawrence in early spring and the students in journalism will listen to the addresses.

Creating Wealth for the State of Kansas
By building its lines through lands then worth less than $5 per acre, the Union Pacific Railroad has aided in increasing the value of those lands many-fold.
The assessed value of all property in Kansas has increased from $328,729,008 in 1900 to $2,511,260,285 in 1909.
There has been no more important factor than the Kansas railroads in creating this enormous wealth.
The resultant prosperity has increased the value of the railroad.
In 1900 the Union Pacific Railroad paid taxes in the State of Kansas amounting to $245,465.14. In 1909 it paid $376,913.82.
Progress for the Union Pacific Railroad means progress for the whole state. Every mile of additional track, every train or station, creates wealth, which is shared not only by the Union Pacific Railroad but by every citizen of Kansas.
We have a book on Kansas and its resources which will be mailed to some friend in the East for the asking. Please send us his address.
Every Union Pacific Ticket Office is a bureau of railroad information. Make your wants known there, or write to me.

OLD RULES SUIT HIM.
Former Coach Woodruff Thinks New Game a Failure.
Dr. Wylie G. Woodruff, coach of the football team here in '97 and '98, has an article in the "Old Penn Weekly Review" alumni magazine of the University of Pennsylvania, in which he condemns the new football rules. Following is a part of the article:
"I am most decided in my views on the past and present in football, and think we have seen depart the grandest game ever played and now possess one of the most insipid ones to try to take its place.
"Back to the rules of ten years ago. I do not think I like men to start before the ball as they did ten years ago. But no for ward pass for me and no onside kick until the full-back or kicker puts them on. I like the quarter back kick on side. Iwould like to see the quarter run with the ball. Back ten years, say I."
