From the Lawrence Daily World for March 18, 1909: The athletic committee of Missouri University has decided that Missouri should cast her vote in the Missouri Valley Conference for the retention of the training table for athletes. Kansas and Nebraska favor the table even though the past January conference meeting decided to abolish it. … Word is that the Eudora measles epidemic is not getting any better and other school districts are being careful not to have any contact. Eudora schools remain closed. … The annual dinner on April 2 for alumni and former students of the university is not limited to Kansas City alumni. KU men from all towns are welcome to the April 2 event at the University Club. Each year it becomes more popular.”
