The Best Kansas News.
New Auditorium a Necessity.

When Fraser hall at the University
OF Kansas was erected In 1872 an audi
forum 81 by sc feet was placed n the
building. For many years this audi
once room was found sufficient To &C
commodate the students at the regular
chapel services and the friends and
relatives of graduates at commence
ment time. The chapel has seating
capacity of 1900. The graduating
classes from the university each year
now number over 200, and because OF
the very large number Of friends OF
the graduates who wish to attend COM
mencement exercises the university
authorities have found 1t necessary
to issue reserved seat tickets for ad-
mission, limiting the number to 1.2oO.
This necessitates the turning away OF
hundreds OF friends Of education at
each commencement time. The seat
ing capacity is found to be entirely too
limited for many other convocation
meetings. The student body alone
numbers 1,40O. One Of the finest and
largest pipe organs in the southwest
has a place in the chapel and very
much limits the seating capacity of the
rostrum. The university faculty Of los
members occupy seats on the platform
at the general exercises. With the
promised increase in student attend
ance and of the faculty a new audito-
rum Is a necessity at very early date
