PUTNAM HOME ON VACATION.
Made Great Record at Oxford University.
During the past summer George Putnam was visiting old friends in Kansas from a vacation from Oxford University. Putnam, a former K. U. football and track star, won a Rhodes Scholarship and he has completed one year at the English University. At Oxford "Put" has made a record as an athlete and as a scholar. He aided Oxford to win the annual track meet with Cambridge last spring.
Mr. Putnam is preparing for the consular service and will enter that field after two more years at Oxford.
Hoagland-Humble
Miss Ruth Hoagland, daughter of the late Dr. Ward Hoagland of Topeka, Kansas and Harry Wilbur Humble, assistant professor in law at the University, were married at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Hattie Hoagland, at Elgin, Illinois, July 31, 1909. Their marriage was the culmination of a pretty romance which began three years ago when they were students together at the summer session of the Chicago University. Their acquaintance ripened into a courtship lasting two years when the engagement was announced.
FOOTBALL IN A WEEK
VARSITY BEGINS WORK SEPTEMBER 20.
Rearrangement of Seats on McCook—Season Ticket Sale Not Large.
Coach Kennedy will meet the 'Varsity football squad for the first time this fall on the golf links the afternoon of September 20. Assistant coach St. Leger Mosse will not arrive until two days later on account of being detained by the Leavenworth County Fair where he is exhibiting some of his fancy live stock Heavy work will be begun at first on account of the game with the State Normals Saturday of that week.
Most of the men who are candidates for the team have been in the harvest fields all summer and are in good condition to begin training. Coach Kennedy says that every man is coming back with all of last year's plays and signals thoroughly learned and also that many of the men have been provided with footballs so that they could practice the booting game during vacation time.
This preparatory work helps to eliminate the difficulty resulting from the Missouri Conference rules which do not permit a college in good standing to conduct football practice under the direction of a coach until regular class work has begun.
NEW SEAT ARRANGEMENT
At last Manager Lansdon feels that he has solved the seating problem on McCook field. The north bleachers have been divided into three sections, the west half for the men rooters; then a section is reserved for the girls; and the east section will be for those having general admission tickets. The automobile space will be the same as last year. Many new box seats have been added on the south side. The portable bleacher on the south side will be for reserved seats.
The manager has also made arrangement for a new press box equipped with a telephone
The Kansan office will have direct connection with this telephone thus enabling it to handle the games faster than in previous years.
SEASON TICKET SALE
The sale of athletic tickets has been about one for every two students that enroll. The athletic management needs the co-operative support of the student body so that the McCook improvements may be paid for. Every student who expects to attend any of the athletic contests or entertainments provided by the other organizations of
the Association will save money by getting the Student Enterprise tickets from the treasurer when the registration fee is paid.
For the benefit of those who do not know the season tickets sell for three dollars. The holder is entitled to admission to every contest or entertainment provided for by the members of the association. Guest tickets may be purchased also. These will admit any one whom the holder wishes to take with him.
EMPLOYMENT BUREAU.
University has Established agency for Students who work.
The University has established an employment bureau, George O. Foster, register of the University has had charge of the work and now has in his office blanks to be filled out by those wishing employment and those desiring to employ. The blanks give complete information as to the kind of work that is to be done. With this information in the office the attendant will have no difficulty in supplying applicants.
Up to this time seventy applications have been made by students desiring to help make their expenses while at school. All new students wishing information should go to the registrars office. Those who have work to be done will be supplied by calling up the same office, phone K. U. 3.
NEW LOCAL FRATERNITY.
High Scholarship and Character to be Featured.
A group of about twenty University men, mostly upperclassmen, banded themselves together near the close of school last year, and organized a local fraternity to be known as the Pi Upsilon Fraternity.
The organization has leased the large house at 19 West Adams street, and has had it thoroughly remodeled. The house has been furnished completely and will make one of the best fraternity houses in Lawrence.
STIMPSON GETS APPOINTMENT.
Will Investigate Weights and Measures Equipment in U. S.
Professor E. F. Stimpson was appointed last June, special weights and measures inspector for the department at Washington to make a report on the condition of the standard measures equipment in the various states for the government.
Mr. Stimpson has been granted a year's leave of absence and will spend the entire time visiting the various states of the Union. At the close of his investigations, he will make his report to the department at Washington.
UNIVERSITY IMPROVEMENTS
CROCKER HAS BEEN BUSY ALL SUMMER.
New Buildings Completed and Many Needed Repairs Have Been Added During Vacation.
More than ninety men have been employed regularly at the University this summer in making improvements in the buildings and on the grounds. Those who have been around the hill for years say that the campus is more beautiful than it has ever been before. All of the work has been in charge of Superintendent E.F. Crocker, assisted by H. H. Johntz.
A tunnel is now being built from the east side of Robinson Gymnasium to the new power plant. This tunnel when completed will be five feet wide with rock sides, brick bottom and double brick arch. The sewer pipe for all the new buildings is to be placed under the floor of this tunnel. It will also carry the steam heating pipes and the telephone cables. All rocks for the tunnel were secured from a large quarry which was opened south of the new Engineering building.
The height of the smoke stack of the heating plant was increased from 110 feet to 130 feet. Penitentiary brick were used in this construction work.
A new three inch gas line and two eight inch water mains have been laid from near the corner of the Chemistry building to the new power plant, one being a force and the other a suction main.
All light and power lines will be carried underground in a vitrified clay conduit from the new power plant to the old lines now on the campus. The conduit which will be eighteen inches below the grade of the campus will be carefully lined and entirely surrounded with concrete. A distributing switch board is to be placed in the repair shops to regulate the currents to the different buildings on the east side of the campus.
The material belonging to the mining engineering department has been moved from the chemistry building to the new mining building. The space formerly occupied by this department has been divided into six research rooms which will be used by those holding industrial fellowships. In Fraser Hall that part of the south wing formerly used by the engineers has been made over into several class rooms and offices which will be used by the French department.
The large offices of the new Engineering building have been furnished with Oriental rugs, folding desks, stenographers tables and all modern equipment. Dean Marvin has a suite of three elaborately furnished rooms.
The Kansan=-three issues a week==$1.50 the year. Delivered to your door by carrier. The Kansan has all the news of the hill all the time.
The testing laboratory in this building is one of the finest in the West having a new 200,000 pound machine for testing reinforced concrete columns and beams. A cement laboratory has been added for class and research work.
