From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 14, 1915:

• “In an effort to educate the people of the United States to realize what they are enjoying in peace, the University students have organized what is known as the Peace club. A meeting of all of the students interested in the matter was held at the Sigma Chi house Thursday night and Professor George W. Naismith, of Boston, addressed the meeting on the peace movement. ‘Millions of young men are giving their live in the trenches in Europe and it is all because they have a mistaken idea.’ The purpose of the club is to distribute peace literature among the people in a movement to maintain peace in the country which leads all others and is now free from war. The Carnegie Peace Foundation will furnish free literature for distribution by the club. Anyone who wishes may become a member of the organization…. There were several speakers on the program at the meeting and they set out in their talks the reasons why United States should stay out of the war.”
• “The pipe organ at the Unitarian church is in the hands of an expert who is overhauling ‘its pneumatics,’ which have been out of repair, thus reducing the quality of the music, for some time. It is expected to be in normal condition before Sunday next. The instrument, which is practically new, or was new two or three years ago, has been out of order for several months. It cost $1,800.”
• “Fred Lewis had a narrow escape this afternoon when he was coming to town with a load of hay. The telephone men were grubbing a large walnut tree and it fell in the opposite direction from which they were expecting it to fall and in falling it took the telephone wires with it. The wires fell across the load of hay which Mr. Lewis was hauling and pinned him to the load. The horses stopped immediately and stood still until he had been freed from the wires. Mr. Lewis was not seriously injured but had a narrow escape. Several of the telephone poles were broken by the fall of the tree.”
• “At the dispensary of the Social Service League at its headquarters, free daily clinics will be held from this time on. There were two operations today. A regular hour for these clinics has not yet been set but will be very soon.”
• “Organization by the dentists of Lawrence is urged and may be effected in a short time. It is said that every city in the state as large, or larger than Lawrence has an organization of dentists.”
• “On account of a lack of interest, the movement among several women of the University faculty to establish a University club for women similar to one now composed of men of the faculty, died out yesterday. Miss Eugenia Galloo, of the romance language department, called a meeting of the women of the faculty yesterday afternoon to discuss the organization of such a club, but it was decided not to have one at present.”
