The Christmas program rendered last Friday evening by the Liberal lits Society at the Ladies' Cottage was much enjoyed by a large audi ence. Among the things of impor tance discussed as business was the advisability of holding under the auspices of the society an oratori cal contest open to all freshmen of th liberal Arts School. As a recognition of merit in this contest two prizes are to be awarded. The first number in the regular program was an essay on painting b l v Miss Whalen. "Aurora" by Cguido Rgeni was admirably de scribed. Miss Whalen made her discourse attractive by indicating striking comparisons between cer tain elements in the painting and nature. Mr. Nichols spoke on Mormonism. His talk on the his tory of this sect was interesting, almost a lecture on these people who for some time have been the causes of an im portant problem in this country. P.*. Weber made an inspiring ad dress on the intrinsic worth of the School of the Liberal Arts. He showed plainly that this school is a prominent factor in this institution *is evidenced by the high stand ing of its faculty and student mem bers and by the rapidly increasing enrollment. He pointed out also that Liberal Arts students should pursue their courses with a view to l i nriching their knowledge by inten sive study. No effort should be made by the students of this school to vie with the students in other schools as to the number of hours or the number of credits scheduled. The best arts colleges of the coun try limit the credit hours per semes ter to 15 or 16. The time has ar rived when the students in the School of Liberal Arts should seek competition with the students in her colleges working along the same lines. Other schools in the college are following the same practice. Every man interested in soccer is trged to come out and participate in the practice which is held every evening except Tuesday on New Beaver Field at 4:30. All under classmen will be excused from Gym drill provided they report %ice a week. Those who show promise will be excused in the spring from military drill. An in terclass series of games is in pros pect provided enough interest is evidenced. 0 Friar Elections The following men from the class of 1916 have been elected to mem bership in the Friar Sophomore Society: Dippe, Jeffery, Josefson, Olmstead, H. Smith and Watson.

In the olden days when things began, the col lege consisted of Oberlin Hall, a two and a half story frame struc ture 35 x4O feet, the first floor of which was given to the principal's study, the adminstration offices and the dinning room, the second to classrooms and the women's dormitory, and the attic to the men. Smoking in or around University of Kansas buildings must cease ac cording to a recent ruling of the board of adminstration. Owing to the death of a prom inent member of the Ursinus foot ball team in a game early in the season, there is some little senti ment in favor of substituting soccer for football in the athletics of that college. The Princeton observatory has secured a new five inch photo graphy telescope, to be used in astronomical photography. Many American colleges and universities have been named in honor of their founders or of men who haue given large endowment funds. Among these institutions are Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Stan ford, Dartmouth, Brown, Williams, Bowdoin, Colby and Dickinson. The University of Chicago has an "Honor Association", which recently adopted resolutions em bodying the establishment of a court to try members' of the stud ent body for violations of the honor code. Faculty News Dean W. R. Crane gave an illus trated lecture on "Coal Fields and Transportation Problems in Alas ka", before the Coal Mining Insti tute of America, at Pittsburgh, on December 5. He also gave a lec ture on the "Coal Resources of Alaska", before the West Virginia Coal Mining Institute, at Charles ton, West Virginia, on December 8. In the December number of the American Engineer Prof. A. J. Wood has a discussion on the subject of "Why Don't Railroads Hold the College Man?" The article is under the heading "The College Man and the Railroads". Christmas Vacation Lengthened At the meeting of the Council of Administration on last Friday the petition of the Student Board to extend the Christmas vacation was granted. This changes the time of reopening college after Christmas, and the vacation now extends from 11 . 20 a. m., Friday, December 19, until 6:00 p. m.. Monday, January 5. This will enable men from both East and West to return without necessitating Sunday travel or com pelling them to leave home on Sat urday in order to get back in time for classes on Monday.
