BANQUET DISPELLED ALL PHARMIC CARES
Medicine Waxed Eloquent as Wee Sma' Hours Approached
H. W. EMERSON TOASTMASTEP
Seventy Men Heard M. P. Gould and Thirteen Others at Eldridge House Last Night.
Those who attended the Pharmic banquet at the Eldridge house last night departed at a late hour in full possession of a memory of a mighty good time. Every thing ran smoothly and the affair reflects great credit on the managers and the School of Pharmacy, while the Master was all good, and Prof. Herbert W. Emerson as toastmaster, departed agreeably from the "We have with us tonight" and so forth.
Dean Sayre responded to the toast,
"On with the Feast." When he spoke of Dr. Crumbine as the common chasier of the state, and of the Cancellor 'sa one whom we love,
honor, trust and try to obey,' he was interrupted by a round of hand-clapping.
Smokes in Latin
Dr. Francis Talks
When the feasters had progressed down to the cigars, or as the menu cards put it, to "Foliarum tobacei et fustium parvorum hades," Mr Carpenter spoke for the Seniors. His talk abounded with amusing anecdotes and he urged the graduates who were going out into the state to go with a determination to make good and to be a credit to the university.
The Toastmaster next introduced Chancellor Strong who talked briefly on the relation of the School of Pharmacy to the University, asking loyalty not only to their department in it, but to the Institution which gives life to all the schools.
Professor Emerson introduced Dr. J. M. Francis of Detroit as a part of a great octopus that stretches over all the world. Dr. Francis' toast was on "The Aristocracy of the Manufacturer." He answered his own question, "Why is the manufacturing Pharmacist?" by comparing that business with business in other lines. "Thirty years ago there were cows on the people market," he said. In those days we made pills by hand. Now there are great creatures, and there are great pharmaceutical manufacturers for the same reason.
Prof. L. D. Havenhill had the "Perplexities of the Analyst" for a subject. He spoke briefly on a few serious problems which were confronting the analysts.
The Seductive Jobber
H. D. Faxon, of the Faxon-Gallagher Drug Co. of Kansas City, talked on "The Seductive Jobber." He spoke of business as service, and of the time when he expected to see service, business and religion closely related.
Professor Emerson then introduced Dr. Parsons who talked on "New Remedies." Dr. Parsons spoke very briefly saying that after looking the Kansas people over he did not think he would be able to help. He added that he would recommend as a new remedy to the Eastern men, a visit to Kansas.
Professor C. M. Sterling had a difficult subject in "Cross Section." The main point that he brought out in his paper is essentially an age of specialization.
Dr. F. B. Dains spoke on "Health by Synthesis." "The time is coming," he said, "when only definite synthetic products will be used. And it rests on the pharmacists themselves to see that they are used."
Address on Advertising
Mr. Gould's address on "Advertising" was flavored all the way through with amusing stories and the substance of what he said was always made clearer by them. "The great problem of the pharmacist today," said Mr. Gould, "is not to fill prescriptions but to get prescriptions. It is a foregone conclusion that you can fill them." Mr. Gould spoke of the growing relations between the employer and the employee and how the wise employee of today tried to make the employee feel himself a part of the business
He outlined the problems of the em-ployers, two of them being to keep a store to back up advertising and to back up employees.
"Advertise your kind of a store," said Mr. Gould, "your individual store. Compare what you have with what others have and advertise accordingly. A man is nothing more than an advertisement." Advertise something, he hasn't, "get it."
Two Unpardonable Sins—Two
Dr. S. J. Crumbine had "The Chic of the Holidayup" for the subject of his toast. He referred to the alleged hold ups as being beneficent hold ups at the least. He said that their investigations for the enforcement of the Kansas Pure Food and Drug Act were not so much to make prosecutions, as to get information about actual conditions. He spoke of two unpardonable sins, substitution and dirt.
Prof. G. M. Watson toasted the "Pharmacy Football Team." He spoke of the team of the team and of the 'team that is to be, and of the hopes of the Pharmics of being able to train and coach a team in proper fashion.
Delmar M. Buckley gave an address of welcome from the juniors after which W. S. Dick of Lawrence talked. Three alumni of the School of Pharmacy, Mr. Tilford, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Amos, responded with interesting talks.
Those Present
The following were present: Amos Tilford, H. D. Faxon, and J. Parsons of Kansas City, M. P. Gould, of New York, Dr. J. M. Francis of Detroit, R. S. Herman, and J. H. Snapp of Olathe, Chancellor Frank Strong, Prof. H. W. Emerson, Dean L. E. Sayre, Dr. S. J. Crumbine Prof. G. N. Watson, Prof. C. M. Sterling, Prof. L. D. Havenhill, Prof. F. Baines, Prof. C. A.

ARE WE A SORDID RACE OF MONEY--GRUBBERS?
Professor Wuerpel, of St Louis, Explained American Disregard for Art
Mr. Wuerpel said that European despise us to just the extent that we are anxious to earn money, and not know how to spend it profitably.
"The American people should let the beautiful, in art, the beautiful in nature and the beautiful in human life, play a more prominent part in their lives," said Prof. E. H. Wuerp, director of the St. Louis Art Institute in a chapel address this morning.
The idea which many students, as well as older people, seem to have, that society owes them something is erroneous, according to Mr Wuerpel. "You owe society as much as society owes you, and possibly much more," he said, "don't get the idea that the world is your debtor."
SPOTTS BACK FROM "SHORT GRASS" LAND
Finds Enthusiasm over Work of University Extension Department.
"Mr. Morgan's art collection in New York City will force certain students in Europe to come to this country to study. This collection, as well as others recently brought to this country, should encourage interest in such exhibits in America."
"Lack of reverence among some Americans is astonishing. There are children who have no reverence for their parents, or for their elders or for anybody else. If they could understand that which is more beautiful than anything else,—beauty of character—a wholesome respect and reverence would naturally follow."
PACKAGE LIBRARIES ARE USED
WILL HOLD FIRST PRACTICE SATURDAY
High School Debating Also Popula Tho' Distance Prevents Membership in State League.
Ralph Spotts, traveling organizer of the University Extension department, returned last night from a trip through the southwestern part of Kansas.
"The people in this section of the state are deeply interested in the extension work," said Mr. Spotts "and the package libraries are proving exceptionally popular."
The package libraries consist of a collection of books, addresses, laws, bulletins, pamphlets, circulars, and other information obtainable covering a large field of knowledge, that would be interesting to the average citizen. The list of subjects includes: the parcels post, milk supply, income tax, advertising, athletics, child labor, commerce, tuberculosis, postal savings banks, phones, slums, theaters, factory fired boy scouts, Mormonism, play grounds, woman suffrage, juvenile courts, prohibition, electricity, and the American opera.
The stereotype views that are being used by the high schools are receiving much attention and some schools secure the views although they do not have proper and adequate means for displaying them.
"The high schools are contracting the debating habit," continued Mr. Spotts, "and weekly contests are held in many high schools. Although only a few of the schools in the western part of the state have joined the state debating league owing to the distance from Lawrence, many have joined local societies, and inter-county and intersociety debates are of frequent occurrence.
"Several persons from the southwestern part of the state are enrolled in the correspondence courses of fered by the University."

Pictures in Jayhawker
"The Jayhawk last year had at least fifteen paveres devoted to men's athletics and one page to women's athletics," said Smith, "and that page was a cartoon.
WILL LECTURE ON HEREDITY
"We wouldn't mind the cartoon so much," she said, "if there had bee anything else. But there wasn't an other thing about women's athletics This year we hope to change al that and make a good showing in the Jayhawk."
Professor Johannsen, Danish Scient ist, Will be Here Monday
Prof. W. Johannsen, of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark will deliver a lecture on "Heredity" Monday afternoon in the lecture room of Snow hall, at 2:30.

Professor Johannsen has been in this country only a short time and he made the trip across the Atlantic for the purpose of investigating the work that is being done in evolution by the experiment stations in the United States.
Jim Smith, '11, is visiting at the Beta Theta Pi house.
The Weather.
Mr. Thermometer and Mr. Barometer gave out the report today that the weather would be unsettled tonight and Saturday with possibly a rain. Mr. Thermometer, as an afterthought, said that there would not be much change in temperature.
CUT IT OUT
The president of Cornell has forbidden the publication of liquor advertisements in college papers. Just for the looks of the thing, of course, but he should take the action, if it be necessary. It shouldn't — Indiana Student.
Wouldn't be a bad idea to follow the lead of the University Daily Kansan and cut out the cigarette advertising too.
THE CRITICS DID NOT APPRECIATE THEM
Value of Whistler's Pictures Not Realized at Time of Painting.
"Free, who has the largest and best collection of Whistler's paintings in existence is such an enthusiast over the painter that he procured every work of the artist he could possibly secure. Some of these show the poorest work of Whister and are ones that will prove to him that at least his death, as was his intention because he did not think they were perfect enough to send out."
The talk on "Whister, the Painter," given last night in the chapel by Edmund H. Wuerpel of St. Louis was attended by only a few people. The first part of the address was a lecture while the latter part was illustrated with lantern slides of the different paintings discussed by the speaker. Whisper is especially notate here as this slide shows this lantern slides could not fully show the ideas that Mr. Wuerpel wished to bring out.
"Many of Whistler's paintings," Wuerpel said, "were not appreciated by the critics who saw them. This did not disturb Whistler, for he appreciated them and that was enough for him. The critics also thought that some of the paintings were not finished, but Whistler maintained they were.
Mr. Wuerel spoke in chapel this afternoon at 4:30.
DEBATING CLUB STAGES
WEEKLY FORENSIC STUNT
W. T. Griffin, R. R. Fisher and H. Probst acted as judges. Their decision was two to one in favor of the affirmative. Prof. G. A. Gessell criticized the debate and gave the boys many valuable suggestions for improvement. After the debate: business meeting was held.
The doctrine of municipal ownership of public utilities was successfully advanced at a well attended meeting of the K. U. Debtoring society last night.

Modington, and Asher Hobson R. D. Woolery and Herbert Flint were the opposing debaters.

The merchants who put their advertising in the Kansan know that students, like other people, read the publicity news as eagerly as they read any part of the paper. They have money to spend and they are interested in finding out the most attractive and advantageous way to spend it. But in addition to this the merchant knows that besides reading his advertisement the students appreciate it as a mark of confidence in their paper, the paper that represents their point of view, and in the success of which they are personally interested you.

THE SOUTH IS PROUD OF C. ALPHONSO SMITH
Edgar Allen Poe Professor offered Presidency at Many Southern Universities
GIVES FIVE LECTURES HERE
Is Recognized as a Foremost Authority on Modern English Literature.
"Prof. C. Alphonso Smith, who begins a series of lectures at the University Monday, is," says Dean Johnston, "the most popular productive scholar and orator in the south. This is illustrated by the fact that he has been called to the presidency of so many Southern Universities, notably: The University of Alabama and the University of Tennessee. Columbia University has also recently awarded him the third Roosevelt Professorship."
Professor Smith is the head of the movement to conserve the Literary and Historical traditions of the South. His breadth of view is well illustrated by an incident in connection with this movement. When acting as chairman of the committee, to award prizes for the best production on Southern history and institutions, he was influential in giving a Northern student the first place, in spite of the fact that the thesis embodied some severe criticisms of certain delicate Southern ideals. He was upbraided by the people of the South and his reply to them has become almost classic.
Five Lectures
His lecture Monday on "The American Short Story" should be especially valuable to the students who are interested in English composition. Tuesday's talk, "American Humor," is the one which received so much praise from the Kaiser and the German people in Berlin.
"Idealism in American Literature," Wednesday's subject should appeal to all literature students. On the topics chosen for Thursday and Friday, Professor Smith is perhaps better prepared to talk than any other man. The subject for Thursday is "Joel Chandler Harris, or The Negro as Literary Material," and that for Friday is, "Edgar Allan Poe."
