THE DAILY IOWAN  The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa  VOL. XVIII----NEW SERIES  VOL. III  Iowa City, Iowa, Thursday, March 27, 1919  Number 72   LAST HONORS PAID TO ISAAC A. LOOS VETERAN PROFESSOR  City and University Gather in Memory of Teacher Who Died Monday   THIRTY YEARS IN FACULTY  Authority on Political and Social Sciences and Author of Numerous Books  Funeral services for Isaac A. Loos, prominent author and for thirty years a member of the faculty of the University of Iowa, who died of hardening of the arteries at the University hospital Monday morning, were held yesterday afternoon at the Congregational church. Classes were suspended from 1 to 3 o'clock and students as well as faculty took advantage of the opportunity to attend the funeral and to view the body which lay in state from noon until 2. The Reverend Ira J. Houston, pastor of the Congregational church, conducted the services. Afterward the body was taken to Davenport for cremation.  Prof. Isaac A. Loos was born in Upper Bern, December 6, 1856. He obtained his early education in the public schools in Berks County and Lebanon Valley college. On being graduated from Otterbein university in 1876, he was granted his B. A. and A. M. degrees. Later he received his bachelor of divinity degree from Yale in 1881, and the honorary degrees of D.C.L. from Penn college, Ia. in 1898, and LL D. from Grinnell college, in 1901.  As Yale awarded him a two year scholarship to study Assyrinology abroad, Professor Loos studied in Paris during the years, 1882-3 and in Leipzig 1883-4. On his return he declined the professorship of Old Testament history at Yale to enter the field of political economy and [sociology?]  From Toledo, where he was a teacher of history and political science at Leander Clark college, the Iowa educator came to this University in 1889 as professor of political science. Later he became director of the school of political and social science and commerce. He held the position of professor of political economy and sociology until 1915 when poor health obliged him to leave his duties. He was succeeded by the present head of the department Norris Arthur Brisco.  As author of "Studies in the Politics of Aristole and Plato," besides numerous articles in journals devoted to politic economics, and sociology, Professor Loos was considered one of the leading authorities on questions of the day. His last and chief work, "History of Economic Thought", in two volumes, is in the hands of one of the largest publishing houses in the United States. Among societies in the three fields in which he taught, he belonged to the American Economics association and the Academy of Political and Social Science.   HESPERIA  The tryout for the extemporaneous [speaking?] contest will be held in the L. A. assembly hall at 5 o'clock today. Be prepared to speak two minutes on one of the subjects which is posted on the bulletin board at the north end of the liberal arts building.   I. W. A. A.

Visitors were impressed with the modern features and equipment which is used for the cripples.   "TIME FOR OPTIMISM" SAYS IOWA SENATOR  "Some one who has nothing and wants to share it with the world," is a fitting definition of a Bolshevik in the opinion of Senator W. S. Kenyon.  Senator Kenyon, an alumnus of the University, is visiting in Iowa City on his way to Washington where he will remain if an extra session of Congress is called. If there is no third session he will go to Russia immediately to study Bolshevism.  In speaking of international affairs, the senator stated that he considered Bolshevism one of the world's greatest menaces. "But there can be no excuse for it in the United States," he asserts. To him, our system of government offers opportunity to every boy to share in the government and become great. He said that the legislation now pending which will enable the workman to gain a home for himself, is a good preventive of Bolshevism.  Smiling, and confidently Senator Kenyon said that "This is a time for optimism not pessimism."   Harold Rigler, Earl Hall, Roy Mayne, and Harold Thomas, formed a quartette which gave programs at Lone Tree, Marengo, and Wapello during spring vacation. Favorable reports on their programs have been received from these towns.
