LindIey Getting Acquainted
Chancellor Lindley is getting &C
quainted with Kansas. Both the Chan
cellor and Kansas are expressing
their pleasure at the meeting. Chan.
cellor Lindley believes Kansas is the
most distinctive, idealistic state in the
union. He thought SO before he came
His early sremembrances include those
of relatives pioneering in Kansas
when pioneering was a serious propo-
sition.
Chancellor Lindley is carrying a
message of a greater University, ap-
pealing to the idealism of Kansas.
His audiences are responsive. Below
are given characteristic expressions
by Kansas editors, interpreters of the
states opinion, concerning the leader
on Mount Dread.
By William Allen White, Emporia,
Gazette, October 21: Last night at
the University dinner, Chancellor
Lindley stood before a group of fifty
or sixty alumni of the Kansas State
University and talked about the
ideals of the University. Mostly he
spoke in a conversational tone, and
repressed; but his very repression,
his evident under statement, his SIM
plicity and clarity Of language were
at times most eloquent. a tall man,
something about 6 feet, thin and mar
row sh~ouldered, with a boyish face
topped by a heavy mop, of silver
gray hair, Chancellor Lindley makes
& fine figure Of a man on his feet:
Kansans Naturally think Of Ingalls,
when they see the Chancellor; yet he
is less of a question mark and more
of an exclamation point than the Sen
ator was. He is less se~lf-conscious
and not at all dramatic. ingalls, al
ways trod the boards; Lindley as
sumes no masque.
The ideals for the University which
the Chancellor expounded last night
we're ideals Of service-service to
Kansas. He feels that the Univer-
sity should connect itself with every
citizen Of the state in some way. He
desires a sufficient force to make the
University serve the cities of the
state, the health of the people, the
welfare of the farmer and the bust
ness man each in his own place of
business. The Chancellor would
make the University more than a
school house; he would make it the
super-servant of the people, a place
of research, of advice, of information,
of expert and technical knowledge. A
fine ideal that-but r~ealizable. Min
nesota, Wisconsin, California, and Ill
inois have such institutions. Kansas
must have if it takes. it's place among
the s%isterhood of states, commensu-
rate with the Kansas brag.
Only an idealist can make dreams
come true. And the new Chancellor
of the University is an inc~orrigible
idealist, with g great and profitable
DREAM.

has heard the Doctor speak and this
is what he says of him.
Doctor LindIey made a decidedly
favorable impression on everyone who
saw and heard him. He reminded
of Senator John j. Ingalls,. Like
Ingalls,, is rather tall and quite slen-
der. He has a head 2 good deal
shaped like oud former senator's and
hair about as gray as Ingalls, the last
time I saw him. In speaking ne is

that he will prove what is called a

most popular chancellors X. U. has
