Green's cane lingers on Hill
By JAY COOPER
It's just past dusk in 1899, and moving across the campus is a gentleman with a cane. This man is "Ucle Jimmy" Green, first dean of the KU law school.
Now in 1966 the senior law students are still honoring this man with the tradition of carrying canes.
"No one remembers when it started," explained Cordell Meeks, law school senior and class president from Kansas City, "my father carried a cane when he was here in 1937."
For the first two weeks of the semester and the Friday and Saturday of all home football games these men can be seen hurrying down Jayhawk boulevard, sitting on the steps of Green school of law, and at the football games, with their canes.
There is no description of the cane, it might be bamboo, mahogany, it might even be concealing a sword, but the one thing in common is the spirit with which it is carried. According to Meeks, the seniors this year are so enthusiastic some are even carrying them to class.
There is a penalty for not carrying a cane which may be claimed by other seniors in the school . . . a cup of coffee per day.
