plete the programf' states Dr. Murphy. He plans to finance the program by a combination of a state appropriation and a bond issue. Because of his interest in the dormi- tory expansion program, Dr. Murphy is definitely not opposed to fraternities and sororities. The existence of fraternal organizations on campuses throughout the country depends not on a group of chancellors but on the opinions of society as a whole. Fraternities and sororities must continue to prove their usefulness to educational institutions if they are to remain. ln connection with the expansion program, Dr. Murphy relates of the need for a music building and a permanent replacement for Sunnyside and Strong Annex areas. He believes, furthermore, that the university should also have facilities for persons attending conventions and other meetings sponsored by the university. uThe problem of adult education is an important one. Therefore, the university will attempt to extend education throughout the state by means of extension courses, radio, and tele- vision. ln an attempt to attract competent young men and women to the university, Dr. Mur- phy will try to extend and accelerate the faculty research. This research, he believes, will provide information for the world and bring honor and credit to our university. According to Dr. Murphy, athletics, in itself, is not the most nor the least important part of the university program. HThe University of'Kansas will be a champion of reason and logic in the Big Seven, but, however, once the conference rules have been established, K. U. will follow them and strive to winf' Dr. Murphy wants to create an in- terrelation between all departments of the uni- versity. This interrelationship will exist for the purpose of exposing every student to certain gen- eral and cultural knowledge that every college stu- dent should possess. With this plan in effect, Dr. Murphy asserts that all college graduates will incur a broader background. This wider background should be of definite help in living in this social world of ours.

QW vox' As former Chancellor of the University of Kansas and a devoted alumnus, too, it is a privilege to send greetings to the ,layhawker and to the students, faculty, and staff of our Alma Mater, which shall always have a special place in my affections. Universities are strangely alike, With all their differences. Cornell University is larger, more complex, Wider-spread in its activi- ties, but Within twenty-four hours of my arrival, l realized that I had traded desks, moved Eastward some fifteen hundred miles, but was confronted pace sixteen l E od' malott' by the same problems, the same piles of papers, the same difficult decisions, and surrounded by the same kind of stimulating faculty and friendly students. No university is a business nor can it be conducted like one. lt is rather a community of scholars- of students, alumni, instructors, ad- ministrators, staff- all with responsibilities, often over-lapping and inter-related, but subject to no rigid delineations and subscribing to no organiza- tion chart.
