As We think of those Who have made Washburn possible, we take pride also in the graduates and former students who are pay- ing the debt to the founders in the only Way such an obligation can be met-by effective and useful living. In nearly every county in Kansas, nearly every state, and many coun- tries overseas, W'ashburnites are engaged in making life more interesting and more significant. PHILIP C. KING.

7 A0 6 Ao For three quarters of a century Wash- burnis sons and daughters have been spreading over the earth, carrying with them wherever they go their memories of Washburn. They have carried with them something else, too-the indomitable will to succeed and to give service to their fel- low men which was the spirit of Wash- burn's New England founders. Washburn history is rich in the mingled heritage of New England culture and mid-western democracy. In her workshop she has molded the personalities of thousands- personalities that have grown even larger with the years and have in turn influenced other thousands. Ours is a great body of alumni. ln every state in the union except one, in eighteen countries of the world from the Arctic circle to the tropics, Washburn men and women carry forward the ideals of their alma mater. In such a formidable past it is, of course, impossible to even list the men and women who have done their work faithfully in their chosen lields, or even those who gained a measure of reknown by their services. The only thing we can hope to do in paying 'tribute to the great body of Washburn alumni is to mention a few who are representative of the college and the work her former students are doing, knowing full well as we name them there are many, many others who could be in- eluded. One-third of Washburn's former stu- dents are scattered beyond the bounds of Kansas, one-third within the state, and one- third in Topeka. Representing the first group regionally and also representing an- other prominent group of Washburn alumni-those who have devoted their lives to the furtherance of education at home and abroad-is Dr. lrene Nye, class of '95, dean of the Connecticut College for Women for the last twenty-five years. Dr. Nye was a brilliant student, taught Greek and Latin here for some years, and then went to New London, Connecticut. Another in this grouping is Anthony Karnes, Juneau, Alaska. Of the class of '11, lVIr. Karnes is Commissioner of Edu- cation for the territory of Alaska. Another distinguished daughter of lcha- bod is Edna Gerken, class of 714, who is head of the national health education pro- gram for the Indian schools of the United States. In the music division of the education group is lVliss Rowena Bishop, 704, presi- dent of the California Music Teachers as- sociation. California claims the most
