i tie i m it In emoriarrL J t Willis Herbert Carothers 1883-1927 He passed this way. And because he passed this way, the world will never be the same to some thousands of young men and young women with whom he journeyed in the years he was with us. Warmed by his personality, invigorated by the strength of his character, these young people will live farther above the plane of commonalty than would ha e been possible if they had never known him. Their feet will continue to be planted upon the earth, for Willis Herbert Carothers was a practical man, but their eyes will be lifted away to the heights. He came — an unassuming, unselfish lover of life, a believer in the world as it is, but with faith in his own powers to make it better. Fourteen and a half years he lived among us, and then he went back into the Source of All Things. Few men in a given generation make as great a contribution to that something which we all want the race to be. We admired him, we loved him, and we revered him for what he actually was. — Thomas W. Butcher, President. V» C I The, SuNFLOlUEB ' g ur. «« 1 Mi L-

=n Mi S f? M = In Q emoriam William Arthur Van Voris 1867—1928 A lover of schools, Mr. Van Voris died while still a teacher. His best remembered schoolmistress was Mrs. Eli Payne. Through her influence he entered the Normal School at Emporia and received its Elementary Certificate in 1892. Teaching for a time in Lyon County schools, he later returned to the Normal and was graduated in 1897. Soon after graduation he became instructor in the Normal School, but continued a student here and elsewhere, when he earned his degree of A. B. in Education in 1913. He loved the sciences, especially physiology, physics and chemistry, and for many years taught these subjects in his home school, with greatest emphasis on the first, and lectured on them widely throughout Kansas. A good Methodist, he led a class consisting mostly of Normal students in the Sunday School of the First M. E. Church of Emporia. These are the brief annals of one who deeply loved young people. —L.
