MORE FELLOWSHIPS IN NEAR FUTURE
INSUFFICIENT ROOM FOR LABORATORIES HERE.
Important Work To Be Taker Up—Department Receives Additional Equipment.
Doctor Robert Kennedy Duncan, head of the department of Industrial Chemical Research at the Universities of Kansas and Pittsburg, arrived here yesterday from Pittsburg, for his second inspection this year.
Professor Duncan said that the work here shows great progress and that he was exceedingly well pleased with the development which has been made.
"Although no definite report can be made at this time, remarkable results have been obtained in the whole department," declared Dr. Duncan.
"The field was never so broad nor the prospects so bright as they are at the present," he continued. "Besides the fellowships here, we now have twenty-three at Pittsburg, and soon that number will be extended to fifty. They are now held in abeyance for the simple reason that we do not have adequate accommodations for such a number here. No new fellowships will be granted at present but some which will be conferred in the near future are much more important than any of those which are held now."
The industrial chemistry department is constantly adding apparatus to its laboratories. A number of platinum crucibles to be used mostly in the fellowship in petroleum have been received and also an electrical apparatus called a milliammeter to be used in determining the properties that paints and varnishes have to withstand weathering.

A "Tiger Book" devoted to University Athletics is to be published at the University of Missouri. A group picture of all the Missouri fooball teams will be included in the book, and it will record all events of school athletic History.

Defends Yale Roistorers.
The Dean of the Yale academic department who investigated the rioting in the New Haven theater last month where eight Yale men were arrested, is incensed at the actions of the New Haven police toward Yale students on the night of the disturbance. He says there was no drunkenness or disorder among the students and that a good deal of the theater smashing was done by others than Yale men. The manager of the theater declares he will sue the city on account of the inadequate police protection on the night of the fracas.
No War Between Japan and U. S. "All war talk between the United States and Japan is the malicious gossip of either fools or knaves," said President David Starr Jordan of Stanford in a recent address to the students of Stanford. The President has just returned from a seven weeks' intimate visit in the land of the cherry blossom.
No War Between Japan
Dr. Jordan was invited to meet the Mikado and spent some time in the presence of the emperor. During his trip President Jordan delivered no less than sixty-four addresses in Corea and Japan to representative Japanese audiences, mostly under the auspices of the local peace societies. He states that transportation facilities have not improved in the eleven years since his last visit as have the other economic factors in the land.-The Stanford Daily.

Michigan Administration Recently Made Investigations by Personal Letters.
WHY ENGINEERS
DO NOT RETURN
At the University of Michigan an investigation was recently held to find out why so many of the students in the School of Engineering did not come back for the second year. The total enrollment for 1909-10 was 1335, and of this number 386, besides those graduating, did not return. Letters were sent to 200 of these and 125 replied.
The reasons for departures, in general can be classified as follows; Miscellaneous, 13; ill health, 19; dissatisfaction with the department, 8; change of institution, 9; change of course or department, 19; desire for practical experience, 21; and lack of funds, 36.
The relatively small number of letters which contained any adverse criticism and the large number that gave lack of funds as the cause for absence is especially notable.
Thirteen Lectures to be Given in as Many Cities.
FACULTY TO LECTURE
The department of University Extension has made arrangements for eight of the professors to give thirteen talks at different towns in the state in the next month.

The days on which the professors will speak and the places are: Prof. R. R. Price of the department of University Extension spoke before a meeting of the Lawrence Wonlen's Suitrage club at the county court house this afternoon at 3 o'clock.

The Abnormal Freshman.
The poor freshman has a hard life. He gets its coming and going. No matter what he does, he is always doing the wrong thing. If he dresses to meet traditions, he is centured; if he does not dress to meet traditions he is ducked. Since he has had nothing but the "ducking" in Indiana, we present the censure by R.B. von Kleinsmid of DePauw University, the article being taken from the Indianapolis Star.
"Modern freshmen are abnormal and the product of unnatural conditions, according to R. B. von Kleinsmid of DePauw University in a lecture last night on "Adolescent Physiology" at the Y. M. C. A. He said that only abnormal boys of their age can wear muddy shoes with trousers rolled up to the fourth cuff, displaying the ugliest part of the human body—the feet, and wear the other clothes affected by the modern freshman. Many boys have to grit their teeth to do so, he said. The reason they do, he said, is because they wished to socialize.
The reason they do, he said, is because they wished to socialize. —The Daily Indianan.

ONE MORE RECORD BROKEN
Highest Barometric Pressure Recorded in November.
The highest barometric pressure ever recorded at the University of Kansas was registered here last month at 29.963. This means that the air was denser, and heavier than at any other time in the records of the University weather bureau, which date from 1868. Professor Cady's report says that the month was windier, colder, snowier, but less cloudy than usual. The minimum temperature, 4.5 degrees, is nine degrees below the normal minimum but lacks two or three degrees of being the lowest.
There were four earthquakes during the month, their points of similarity leading to the conclusion that they were of common origin.
The prevailing wind was from the southwest, and the distance the wind travelled was 11,360 miles. This is about four hundred miles above the average. The mean hourly velocity was 15.7 miles.
FACULTY TO MAKE CANDY
K. U. Dames Will Entertain Next Wednesday Afternoon.
Has the faculty a sweet tooth? If it has, and is right good to its wives this week, it may have an opportunity to indulge its saccharose appetencies next Wednesday evening. For Wednesday afternoon the K. U. Dames will make candy with Mrs. Thompson, at 1008 Alabama, and each member is expected to bring material for the manufacture o enough confectionery to provide for the hungry Profs. at home. And maybe there'll be some left over for the little Profs.

At a meeting of the Quill club last Tuesday, the following were elected to membership: Brownie Angle, Margaret Darrah, Eleanor Draper, Inez Smith, Maud Swisher, W. M. Burkholder, C. F.
