He is a native of New Jersey, but made his first inroads on higher education at the Nebraska State University, graduating with the degree of B. A. in ' 97, followed by the degree of Ah A. in 01. In 1904 he re- ceived a degree of Ph. D. from Heidelberg Lniversity, Germany. While at that institution he worked considerahle along literary lines, dealing chiefly with Philology, his chief work heing Die angel sachsischen Namen der Insekten Spinnen und Krustentiere. Prof. Cortelvou ' s work as a teacher before coming to K. S. A. C. was in the Humboldt, Nebraska, High School, he having resigned a principalship at that school to take higher work at the State Uni- versity. He was elected to his present position in 1904. His interest in athletics has taken substantial form in his work as General Manager and to him more than to any one man be- longs the credit for putting - athletics at K. S. A. C. on a sound finan- cial basis. OLOF VALLEY. B.M. Professor of Music Mr. Valley, the head of the Department of Music at K. S. A. C, is a native of Sweden. He is a graduate of the Chicago Conserva- tory of Music and has studied under such masters as Signor Carpi, Albert B. Ruff, Wm. N. Burritt and Max Heinrich. After his graduation from the Chicago Conservatorv. Prof. Valley was for a time a member of the Faculty of his Alma Mater, and in connection with this position he was engaged as a Concert, Oratorio and Operatic Singer. He later toured America with his Concert Company, and in 1897 went on an European tour. He has a national reputation as a bass singer and has been heard in many of the larger cities, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, etc. Professor Valley and his able assistants are striving to give their pupils the best classical music, and to create a desire among the students at large for the better things in music. Instead of re- quiring an additional tuition fee as do the music departments of other colleges and universities, the instruction here is free and the students are encouraged to enroll.

SCHOENLEBER, M.S.A., D.V.M., M.D. Professor of Veterinary Science. State Veterinarian Dr. Schoenleber is originally a native of the State of Illinois, but received his first college training at the Iowa State College. From there he next enrolled in the National Medical University of Chicago, where he received the degree of M. D. After practicing in this field of medicine for a time he decided that the future held greater things in store for the Vet. so we find him next receiving the honor of D. V. M. at the Chicago Veterinary School. From there he entered the field as a practitioner; to be later called to the McKillip School of Veterinary Medicine as Dean. The next rise in store for him was at K. S. A. C, where in 1905 he was appointed to the position as head of the new Department of Veterinarv Science, just then organized. In the following March he was given the position of State Veterinarian. Little need be said about his labor since coming to be with us, for in the four years course and the new building which has been erected and equipped at the cost of $70,000, we have a perpetual monu- ment as a reward for his unceasing toil and energy. He can be described by one of his own favorite expressions that We ' ll make something doing. R. J. KINZKR, B.S.Agr. Professor of Animal Husbandry Roland J. Kinzer is a product of the Buckeye State. He was graduated at the Iowa State College, after which he was employed as Superintendent of the State Farm at Ames, Iowa. Since coming to K. S. A. C. he has organized and built up the Animal Husbandrv Department until it ranks as one of the best in the country.
