Association of Students More Marked There Says Putnam. Athletic Tendencies.
RETURNED OXONIAN DRAWS SOME COMPARISONS.
"Association with fellow students is the important feature of student life at Oxford University," declared George E. Putnam of the department of economics this morning when telling of the English scholar and how he differs from his American broth.
"Mr. Putnam returned to Lawrence this fall after a three year course at Oxford University where he specialized in economics and is now a member of the faculty in the department of Economics. Putnam will be remembered as the holder of records in the weight events in the field sports and as a member of the Jayhawker football team in 1906. When he went to Oxford, it took but a short time for him to show his prowess in throwing the hammer, and frequent reports from England mark the intervals at which the American smashed English records.
"The English student at the University divides his day into three major divisions: work in the morning, athletics in the afternoon, and social functions in the evening." continued Mr. Putnam "No one violates the working hours of the morning by making visits, every one takes exercise or the athletic field in the afternoon until half past four, when all take tea at the Common hall of their respective colleges. After tea, the student retires to his suite of rooms at his college dormitory from which he issues to take dinner in the dining hall at half pass seven. The remainder of the evening is usually devoted to the social entertainments of the scholar's life.
"Each college has its own dormitories arranged to form a quadrangle and it is here that the close association among the men is brought about. A college is a community to itself, with its own athletic field, common room
"Oxford University is made up of some twenty-two colleges Each college has its administration and faculty, and the University has a separate administration, a unifying element over the numerous colleges. Extensive and expensive re-duplication is the result of this arrangement The colleges and University own vast tracts of land over all Eng land, the incomes from whil bears the cost of maintaining the institutions.
"The tutorial system of instruction prevails among the majority of the students, although several lecture courses are given which may be attended by the students of the University at large.
"The tutors are called 'dons'. The student meets his 'dons' on hour a week for private interviews, which bring him into close contact with his instructors. A system which has proved to exert an influence over him that is entirely beneficial.
where students assemble for social affairs and dining hall.
"The spirit of the English student body is nil when compared with that of the American rooting squad. An Englishman applauds by clapping the hands, it is considered vulgar to 'yell,' as only Americans do that. Intercollegiate and 'varsity athletic matches are held but no rooting is conducted by the 'student body.' The boating races on the river lusus create the most excitement among the students.
"The average expense of a year at Oxford is something under 300 pounds. Each student has an individual suite of two or three recess, and the more general association of the students for social purposes makes an additional expense."

$7,500 LABORATORY NEARS COMPLETION

STATE GLAYS
Management in Hands of State Geoloical Survey—At Rear of Haworth Hall.
The work on the new building for a state clay testing laboratory is being pushed rapidly by the State Geological Survey. B. L. Wolfe who represents the state survey at the University says that the structure will be completed by December 1. The building will cost $7,500 when complete. It is in the rear of Haworth hall.
The clay testing laboratory will be used to test the clays taken from all parts of Kansas. It is known that there are valuable clays in the state but at present there is no way to test them. The industry of making brick from clay is well developed in the state but there are no terra-cotta or pottery plants.
One of the best pottery clays found in the state was discovered on Mount Oread by the Fine Arts department. This is a red clay about two feet thick. It burns to a desirable color. The management of the new laboratory will be in the hands of the State Geological Survey.

DOLDE, CHEER LEADER
Coach Sherwin Addresses Students in Mass Meeting.
Ray Rhodes, of Kansas City. Mo., is visiting with friends at the University.
Coach Sherwin maintained his former taciturn policy and made a short speech to the three hundred rooters who assembled in the chapel last night. "I have no criticism to make of the men who are now trying out," he said, "but I think in a school of such an enrollment there ought to be more than forty-five men out for practice. We have an extremely hard schedule that calls for the three hardest games at the close of the season. In order to meet this schedule it will be necessary to have at least twenty-five seasoned men. In order to play at top speed in every game it will be necessary for me to develop at least two teams."
After a spirited try out at the rally last night Charles Dolde was chosen cheer leader of the cheering cohorts for the coming year. William Hamner was the only other contestant for the position and both of the men were allowed to lead the students several times. Dolde after his election announced that the slogan for the coming year will be "On to Columbia."

ASTIGMATIC TROUBLES
Frequently exist without the knowledge of the person directly concerned. As a matter of fact a very large per cent of people have astigmatism. This is a very harmful defect and should be attended to by a competent Optician. We have special charts for detecting astigmatism and are very successful in detecting and overcoming it.
OUR TESTS ARE FREE.
