William Allen White Probably the most prominent man in Kansas today is William Allen White, who has recently been appointed a regent of the State University. Mr. White is as well known in the East as he is in the state which claims him. He is editor of the Emporia Gazette and a prominent politician in his district. Mr. White's reputation however rests upon his ability as an author. It was in 1896 when but 27 years old, that he wrote the famous article What's the matter with Kansas P and in the fall of that same year, brought out a book of stories under the title of The Real Issue. Aside from his duties as editor of a live daily newspaper, Mr. White devotes himself to writing stories of political life and sketches of a political nature for Scribners, McClures, Colliers, the Saturday Evening Post, and other standard magazines. Mr. White attended the Kansas State University from 1887 to 1892, so he is particularly well suited to act as a Regent of the institution.
