From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 28, 1915:

• “Football enthusiasm, bursting from the control of the University men whom it animates, had brought down upon the students the disapproval of the authorities charged with maintaining the law in Lawrence. City officials and Chancellor Strong of the University united today in condemning destruction of property which has attended football demonstrations for the past two nights. Tuesday night a small outbuilding was taken from property on Vermont street and used to make a bonfire in the street. Last night another outbuilding was used for the same purpose. As the city may be responsible for the value of property destroyed by mobs, Mayor W. J. Francisco and City Attorney Harley visited Chancellor Strong this morning and stated the situation to him. As on previous occasions of a similar nature the Chancellor took a stand squarely opposing the destruction of property by students and said he would do what he could to have the football celebrations henceforth conducted without loss of property to householders…. It is likely that the matter will be placed before the men’s student council, which is charged with student discipline, and the aid of the council secured in curbing the football celebrations and confining them to harmless demonstrations…. In last night’s demonstration, the students started a bonfire on the street car tracks on Tennessee street and tied up the loop service for a time.”
• “A pleasant phase of the management of the Country Club is the adopted policy of encouraging wild creatures on the eighty acres owned by it adjoining the city. Naturally this can most easily be done by making friends with the beasts and birds that naturally seek the spot as a habitat, or as a resting place. Shooting of birds of any kind, and of rabbits is entirely taboo. An exception may be made as to squirrels, because they rob birds’ nests…. It is said that a pair of jackrabbits that had the run of the place and were great favorites of the members and visitors have disappeared, and their going was a great disappointment.”
• “The old dwelling at 818 Tennessee, belonging to F. S. Hester, spoken of some days ago in the Journal-World, is being remodeled and will be differently located on the same lot, and used as a store room and garage. Mr. Hester will break ground next Monday for the new residence that will be built upon the front of the lot.”
