The Presidents were Hayes, Grant and Taft—Horace Greely Waded Through Mud in 1859.
Lawrence, "that historic city," as the papers used to put it, has been the stopping place of many world-noted men and women in the early days as well as in later years. Short reminiscences of collections who were here before the series formed a theme of Prof. W. H. Carruth's chapel address this morning.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 23, 1912.
"President and Mrs. R. B. Hayes were here in 1879 and Mr. Hayes attended chapel and addressed the stu-
dium on this plattform.m' said Prof. Carruth.
Other noted guests have been:
Other noted guests have been:
Grand Duke Alexis of Russia, U. S.
Grant, William T. Sherman, See'y
W. H. Seward, Bret Harte, The Rev.
Robert Collyer, Edward Everett Hale,
F. B. Sanborn, Lucy Lee Stone, Elizabeth Bady Stanton, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Horace Greely, Bayard Taylor,
The Rev. John Pierpont and William H. Taft. Prof. Carruth devoted most of his time to a discussion of the last four.
Horace Greely came to Lawrence oveland in May 1859 from Osawatomie. A reception committee which escorted him from the Wakerusa to the Eldridge House, was forced to wade across the river south of town. Mr. Greely, with his trousers tucked in high top boots was equal to the occasion and didn't mind the mud as much as some of the Lawrence men.
Mr. Greely kept an account of his trip to Kansas and the diary well illustrated the disappearance of civilization.
Prof. Carruth read the following entries.
"May 12, Chicago. Chocolate and morning papers last seen on breakfast tea."
*May 23, Leavenworth. Room bells and baths make their last appearance.**
**Topaka, Topaka. Beefsteak and wash bowls other than tin.last visible. Barber ditto.**
"May 26, Manhattan. Potatoes and eggs last recognized among the blessings which brighten as they take their flight.
"May 27, Junction City. Last visit,
I bought a bootblack. Chesidars bid us
good yoy."
"May 28, Pipe Creek. Benches for seats at meals have disappeared.
The address of Ralph Waldo Emerson, which was probably delivered in old Liberty Hall, "shot over the heads" of most of the Lawrence people who attended Emerson's funeral for pie was better recalled by the older residents.
When Rev. John Pierpont, a Uni-
tarian minister and writer of verse, was
in Lawrence in 1857, Gov. Walker with
his entire staff also made the trip to
the city. Rev. Pierpont was probably
the first man to compliment Lawrence
people on the view from "the Hill" in
New York, where he was a epi-
gram, "God might have made more
beautiful scene but I don't believe he
ever did."
Has Article in German Magazine.
Prof. E. F. Engle of the German department has an article on "American Universities" in the Sept, tember, October and November numbers of the "Akademische Rundschan," the national organ of the independent student organizations of German universities which is published at Leipzig, Germany. The article is an elaboration of a lecture which Prof. Engle gave at Marburg, Germany, last year before the members of the student organization of that city.
Heads Monetary Reform League.
IT'S RECALL OF JUDGES
Missouri Submits Question for Annual Debate-Kansas Chooses Side Today.
C. M. Harger, who was head of the journalism department last year, was elected president of the Citizens' League of Kansas, an organization affiliated with the National Citizens' League for the Promotion of a Sound Banking system.
The organization will endeavor to interest the Kansas businessmen in monetary reform.
The University of Missouri has proposed the question "The Recall of Judges" for the annual debate with Kansas. The Debating Council of the university accepted this subject and will today choose which side Kansas will defend.
COLD WEATHER TOMORROW
Slight Change in Thermometer Be fore Morning—Not Severe,
The official prognosticator predicts that lightweight suits will be just right tonight but overcoats will be in demand tomorrow. The cold snap will probably not be severe but the wise ones will not let themselves be fooled by the few days of spring weather which is here now.
"Colder weather tomorrow," says the weather man.
Fair tonight and fair and colder tomorrow is the report.
FOUND NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES WERE WRONG
"Kansas Criminal Law Free From Technical Faults" Says Prof. W. E. Higgins.
When the State Bar Association meets in Topeka January 30 and 31, the special committee on criminal law will make its report. Prof. William E. Higgins, of the law school, as chairman, and Judge J. C. Ruppenthal, '95, as member of the committee have spent the last three years in research work upon the criminal work of Kansas.
The committee has announced that they have found the criminal procedure of Kansas free from technical faults and delays, which have been attributed to the criminal procedure of this country by various authorities. They are to the importance of the report of the committee it was made a special order of business for the coming meeting in Topeka.
PHYSIOLOGY CLASS STUDIES
SANITATION AT TOPEKA
A class in physiology will go to Topea next week, accompanied by Dr. Ida H. Hyle, to see the state tuberculosis exhibit and to do some research work in sanitary conditions of public institutions. The class expect its return to render expert opinion upon the sanitation of Lawrence.
MASQUE CLUB WILL
PRESENT PLAY IN APRIL
Dr. Hyde will also visit the state tuberculosis dispensary and fresh air camp at Topeka.
Here's Another New Arrival.
Robert J. D. Waters, a freshman in the College last year, who was married last January, while attending the University, is the proud father of a son, Robert Waters, Jr,
born Thursday morning. Mr.
Waters at present is in the insurance business at Bonner Springs,
Kansas.
At an important meeting held this morning, the Masque club decided to give its annual play in the latter part of April. The club took action to raise the standard of membership, and prevent anyone becoming a member who is not absolutely interested in dramatics as an art.
A committee composed of Harold Wilson, Franz Wilson and Charles Younggreen to choose the play which will be presented in the spring. Younggreen will secure a definite date for the Opera immediately.
WILL STANDDIZE CITY
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
A model system of weights and measures for Kansas towns is the purpose of a pamphlet prepared by Prof. E. F. Stimpson, state sealer of weights and measures and member of the physics department. The pamphlets include a city ordinance for installing the system.
UNIVERSITY TRYING TO MEETING TO LAUNCH MAKE BAD BOYS GOOD NEW DEBATING SOCIETY
The pamphlets will be sent to all mayors of Kansas cities.
Pittsburgh has established a system of weights and measures recently, and Parsons is working upon a plan now.
Examination and tests of kindergarten children in Topeka were obtained by Prof. W. Trettie, of the Topeka school, as well as to the Topeka schools last Saturday.
"Practically all the students who are called failures by their associates and the teachers have only to be studied intelligently and a remedy for each particular case can be recommended. It is our aim to find out why a student is backward and suggest corrective measures."
Prof. Trettian has visited several cities in the state and carried on his examinations. Many successful cases have been reported. "Just now we only work through the school but it will not be long before we hope to carry our work to the home. he said. "Making two blades of grass grow where only one grew before is highly important, because of its biggest problems such as, or any other civilization can possibly have, are to train the boys and girls in the best possible way, so that they will make the most efficient men and women."
"Our examination consists of four parts," said Prof. Trettian this morning, "first, we make a physical examination to show any under-developments in the physical nature, next we look for physical and mental atavisms. These atavisms in the physical self show organs which are undeveloped and many of which are absolutely useless, such as the vermiform appendix. Generally speaking, the more atavisms that are present, the less normal is the subject. Lastly we try to find sense defects and abnormal motor reactions."
Hal Curran a 'Motor Cycle Racer
Hal Curran, who attended the
School of Engineering last year is
engaged in the exciting sport of
motor cycle racing in Los Angeles.
Curran was taken sick in the spring
term and forced to leave school.
He enrolled an engineering
in Mexico he witnessed the last
revolution in that country. He is
considered one of the most skillful
motor cycle racers on the Los
Angeles tracks.

The Debating Council of the University has called a meeting for 7:30 p. m., Thursday, January 25, in the lecture room of Snow hall of all students who are interested in the formation of new literary and debating societies.
One hundred and twenty-five circular letters were sent out to students whom the Debating Council thought would be interested. Professors Dykstra, Price and Gesell will speak and represent students will give their ideas concerning the formation of new societies. Following is the invitation issued by the Debating Council:
"What's the matter with K. U.? She's all right—but just now she needs a live Literary and Debating Society.
"We believe that there is a good, healthy bunch of young men here who appreciate both the need and value of debating societies as a part of their University work. And aren't you one of them?"
"If so, come up to the meeting at 7:30 p. m., Thursday, January 25th, in the lecture room of Snow hall, to discuss the matter. We'll be looking for you and see that it is worth while.
"Representative students and members of the faculty will give their ideas on the rehabilitation of the old literary societies. A constructive plan will be formulated.
"Now is the time to institute a representative organization with weekly meetings in which each member participates. We receive the benefit of mutual endearment."
"Give us the assistance of your presence and active effort—and bring it to our attention."
Co-eds Will Debate.
A challenge of the co-eds of Ottawa University to the co-eds of Washburn College for a debate has been accepted. The contest probably will be held at Topeka in April, and the question will be submitted by Ottawa.
Mammoths at Museum Pinched and Uncomfortable Because of No Space.
Here is another sad story. The museum specimens are being pinched for room. That building, now since the medics are occupying part of theementment, has proved to be too small and does satisfactorily all parties concerned.
FOSSILS CRY "ROOM" RESUSCITATE DROWNED
Even now some of the finest specimens ever collected are waiting in vain to be unpacked, but alas! that cannot be—there is no room. One of these is a magnificent specimen, the fossil of a mossoar forty feet in length. It is hoped that the large open space beneath the skylights on the third floor will be filled in some day with glass flooring. The other building is capable of room and at the same time allow light to pass to the floor beneath. Of all the buildings on the campus, there is probably none in which the floor space is more completely utilized than in the museum.
Prof. Bruno Keiseweler of the German department lectured before the meeting of the German Verein yesterday afternoon on "The German Novel." Hq sketched the history of the novel down to the present time and showed both the French and the English influence on its development. There will be no meeting of Verein until Monday, Feb. 12 at which time an election of officers will be held.

RESUSCITATE DROWNED WITH NEW MACHINE

A Motor Driven Bellows. Designed by Prof. Hood Restores Life.
THO' HEART AND LUNGS CEASE
Dr. Hyde Finds Apparatus Successful in Work With Animals in Physiology Department.
Prof. G. J. Hood, of the School of Engineering, has prepared a machine which will resuscitate drowning persons and will maintain a current of air through the lungs even though the breathing muscles have been paralyzed. The apparatus was designed for Dr. Ida Hdye for research work in the department of physiology. The work which has been carried on with animals has been very successful and the motor driven bellows should be equally efficient in saving the lives of drowning persons.
The new machine forces the fresh air it regular intervals into the lungs and removes the vitated air. This is accomplished by means of a bellows peared to an electric motor. The natural breathing rate of a person or animal is approximated and the machine can be used to keep fit. For abbitts the artificial respirator receives its greatest speed. These animals breathe sixty times per minute.
"The electric machine has a great advantage over the old, hand-operated bellows", explained Dr. Hyde this afternoon. " Its speed can be regulated scientifically so that the greatest amount of efficiency is obtained."
An arrangement of incandescent electric lights is appended to the machine by which the bodily warmth of the person may be restored or preserved.
"By means of this machine," she said. "Life may be restored after the person or animal has ceased respiration, and you will live longer if after the heart has ceased to beat."

IT'S UGLY BUT USEFUL
J. P. Trickey Invents Machine to Test Strength of Materials
A machine for teaching the tensile strength of all materials used in the department of industrial chemistry, has just been finished by the junior engineers in Fowler Shops. The machine was designed by Prof. J. P. Trickey, Elston fellow in Industrial Chemistry.
The machine is a large skeleton-like device, which is puzzling to the unscientific spectator, because of its apparent lack of symmetry. It is useful though ungainly, and can test the strength of any material, up to 1,000 pounds pressure.
Prof. F. H. Hodder is in Washington, D. C., working on a historical atlas in connection with the Carnegie Institute for research. He will return at the end of the present semester. Prof. C. A. Dykstra is taking charge of most of his classes.
