From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 8, 1916:

• “University affairs, state affairs, and world affairs were talked over at the annual University dinner which was served in Robinson gymnasium yesterday afternoon following the commencement exercises. The alumni celebrated the first ‘pay’ commencement dinner by coming in such numbers that a different arrangement of the tables in the hall from the manner followed in former years was necessary to make room for all of them on the lower floor of the gymnasium. And the 1,000-odd alumni who were present agreed that it was different in another respect — there were no tiresome speeches, but ginger and snap in all the proceedings…. C. A. Randolph, president of last year’s senior class, spoke for the newest graduates. He commented on the fact that of the 425 who received degrees, 125 expect to become teachers. He promised that all those teachers would fill the minds of their pupils with thoughts of K. U.”
• “With the enrollment of 465 at 3 o’clock this afternoon, the fourteenth annual summer session of the University of Kansas which opened this morning when classes started at 7:30 o’clock is already a record breaker. The enrollment is far in advance of what it has been before this early in the session and Dean F. J. Kelley, head of the School of Education and Dean of the summer session, is confident that this will be the largest warm weather school ever held at the University. An enrollment fee of $10 entitles a student to the full ten weeks of the session and gives him many extra privileges. A free subscription to the Summer Session Kansan, free use of the tennis courts, free use of the swimming beach at Potter lake, two motion picture shows a week, a musical entertainment once a week consisting of ‘community sings’ on the campus … and recitals by the school members, are among the features offered to the students this year.”
• “K. U. is going to have what amounts to a summer military training camp, according to statements by Professor Frank E. Jones, captain of the national guard company of the University, this morning. Captain Jones, after consultation with Dean F. J. Kelley of the summer session and the members of the board of administration, will offer courses in military tactics, including a study of its general principles, school of the soldier, school of the squad, close order drill, physical exercises, signals and codes, extended order drill, simple sketching, patrolling, camp sanitation, personal hygiene and first aid…. ‘The work will be given in the gymnasium and on the campus,’ said Captain Jones this morning, ‘and classes will probably be held late in the afternoon, about 4:30 o’clock. There will be no fees to pay and no equipment to buy. The course will be open to all young men who are interested.'”
