PHARMIC STRUGGLE ATTENDED BY 150
THE JOLLIFICATION LAST ED FROM 8:30 TO 12.
Professor Bailey Surprises Faculty by a Shotgun Quiz—Professor Sayre's Anniversary.
There are customs at the University, designed to advance good fellowship and interest among the students, that improve with age. Such is the case with the Knights of the Mortar and Pestle, who gave their twelfth annual Pharmie Struggle at the Eldridge house Thursday evening. Each banquet for the past dozen years has been better than the one which preceded it and the one this year was the most elaborate of all.
Over 150 members of the faculty and students of the school were present. The entertainment started at eight-thirty with singing and general jollification. The banquet began at nine. There were seven courses; each course written as a druggist's prescription on the menu. An hour and a half later, P. H. Carl, the toastmaster, introduced Dean L. E. Sayre, the first speaker.
Professor Sayre devoted his talk to the present difficulty of obtaining fair legislation for the pharmaceutical profession.
He was followed by Prof. L. D. Havenhill, who gave a fable history of the Pharmaceutical society. Prof. E. H. S. Bailey next took the floor and turned the tables on the faculty by subjecting the members present to an oral shot-gun quiz.
An appeal to raise the standard of pharmacy was made by W. S. Dick, of the state pharmaceutical board, and Prof. F. W. Bushong followed him with stories on petroleum. Prof. H. W. Emerson treated his subject, "Pharmacy Signs," from the story telling standpoint and following him E. W. Cookson spoke for the senior class.
The out-of-town speaker of the evening was F. Tilford, of the state board of health. He outlined briefly the difficulties with which the board meets in its work for purer drugs.
Professors G. N. Watson and C.A. Nash, the two remaining faculty speakers, chose for their subjects, "The Pharmic" and "What's the Use?" The toasts ended with one by Chas. C.Cramer, a member of the junior class.
H. D. Faxon, of Kansas City, Mo., who was to have spoken, was unable to attend the banquet.
Besides being the annual banquet the event also marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of Professor L. E. Sayre's deanship.
Dr. Naismith Invents Machine to Dry Hair.
FOR GIRL SWIMMERS.
A hair drying machine installed in the women's gymnasium this week is the latest mechanical novelty and fills a long felt need. The girls no longer have an excuse for not joining the swimming classes as they can now dry their hair in a fraction of the time formerly required. The principle of the new apparatus consists in throwing air by a fan over steam coils. There are openings for three girls at a time. The machine was invented by Dr. Naismith especially for use in the gymnasium. A larger far will be installed soon.
After a trip of six games,three of which were won and three lost the College team returned Thursday night from their first annual tour of the state.
WON THREE OUT OF SIX.
College Team Home From Trip Around State.
The men who did the best in scoring for the College team on the trip are Hite with 15 baskets, Beamer, with 14, and Nesbitt with 13 goals from the field. The close guarding of Eisele and Nesbitt kept the score of the opposing teams down.
In the fourth game of the trip with the Lindsborg "Swedes," the College team defeated their opponents by the score of 22 to 16. When the game started the Bethany five jumped into the contest with the intent to win and to make amends for their defeat on the court in Robinson gymnasium. At the end of the first fifteen minutes the score stood nine to one in favor of the Bethany men. However in the last five minutes of play of that half, the department men played the game so hard that when the whistle blew time out, the score was 11 to 9 in favor of the College men. From that time on, the lead of the College five increased and at no time during the remainder of the contest did the home team have a chance of winning their contest. Hite did the best work in scoring for the College five with four field goals from difficult angles of the court.
The last game that the College five played was with the St. Marys five Thursday afternoon and resulted in a defeat for St. Marys by the score of 34 to 23. The contest was even throughout the entire game until the last few minutes of play when the College team increased its lead to 11 points and maintained that count till the last whistle blew time out. Houlehan, left forward of the St. Marys team,gave a great exhibition of goal-shooting by tossing seven baskets from the field.
A STORY OF THE PRAIRIES
Miss Lynn's Story in Atlantic Monthly Not an Autobiography
In the current issue of the "Atlantic Monthly," the following paragraph appears in the index to contributors: "Miss Margaret Lynn ('A Step-Daughter of the Prairie,' an instructor in the University of Kansas, who gives in this agreeable form a chapter of her own autobiography."
The story itself is essentially the autobiography of a romantic, poetry-loving little girl with a "Tennysonian vocabulary." She lived on the prairie, but longed for the woods, the woods of poetry with their hidden wonders. She wanted to link reality with romance. She called a muddy little creek, with treeless, cow-trodden banks,a brook; a hollow on the bank she called a glen. The prairie was not suggestive to her it did not hint of the unknown. In latter years, however, she saw the possibility of there being a literature of the prairie.
Miss Lynn is an assistant professor in English literature at the University, and has been-connected with the institution for the past ten years. She has published a collection of English poems with notes. The present article in the "Atlantic" is her first published story, but will be followed soon by others. Miss Lynn denies that the story is a part of her autobiography, and says it is entirely fiction.
HUFFMAN BILL KILLED
That the Regeits of the University of Kansas will retain their positions as the governing board of that institution, was definitely decided Tuesday, when the senate defeated the Huffman bill by a vote of 28 to 9.
State Institutions to Be Governed as Before
The measure introduced by Huffman called for an administration board of three members, to have power over all state schools. This idea was recommended by Governor Stubbs in his last message to the senate and would have abolished the Board of Regents of the University of Kansas, the State Agricultural College and the State Normals.
Every senator representing a district where a state educational institution is located, voted against the bill.

RAINFALL BROKE RECORD
Last Month Was Wettest February Known in Kansas.
According to the monthly weather report, just issued by the University, February, 1911, had a record-breaking rainfall. The total rainfall for the month- including melted snow, was 5.46 inches, which is 3.87 inches above the February average and greater than recorded for any other February in Kansas in all the years since the records were begun in 1868 by the late Dr. F. H. Snow. Three thunder storms were recorded for the month and this breaks another record, as only two previous Februaries have had as many as two thunder storms.
The mean temperature for the month was 34.84 degrees, which is 2.04 degrees above the February average. The highest temperature was 71.3 degrees on the 15th and the lowest was 7.4 degrees on the 21st.
The seismograph registered four earthquakes during the month, but all were very small and ill-defined.
