Coming to the University when it was first found- ed, and constituting one of the first four professors in the original fac- ulty of the institution, Dr. Snow was actively engaged in the most ar- duous work for a period of over forty-one years. In that time he saw the University grow from a preparatory school into one of the best universities of the country; and it is largely to his faithful and un- tiring efforts, as a teacher and scientific investigator, that the State of Kansas owes the present position of her University. No man had a kinder, more lovable character; perhaps few men have been broader scholars. Dr. Snow belonged to the old generation of ample education, before men concentrated their efforts in one field of work without the wider view gained only by wider experience. Dr. Snow was trained in literature and language far as well as many spe- cialists in those subjects today. He was a world-famous scientist. His accomplishments were many and varied, his learning dee]) and pro- found. But none of these would have bound to him the affections of such a multitude of men and women in all walks and departments of life if he had not been primarily and consistently throughout his whole life, a wholesome, honorable man. A life of such beauty and useful- ness as his, does not end with the closing of the flower-strewn tomb, but lives with a more wonderful and increasing vitality as the influ- ence of his character and manhood persists in the lives of those who love him. The University of Kansas is fortunate in the memories she may cherish of the life and work of Dr. Snow. He gave that life to the University, little thinking to find it again in the hearts of those who learned to love him. 29 OLIN TEMPLIN A.B., A.M., M.S., (University of Kansas ) Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Professor of Philosophy (Halhgg— ' 09 And so at last the sheepskin curtain falls upon the last scene of the four-act comedy by the class of ' 09. A comedy, to be sure, but with what painful touches, flunks, conditions, quizzes, hard lessons and all the rest ; a comedy, to be sure, but what an everlasting im- pression this little play has left on old K. U. And what shall one say of the characters in this piece? Politicians? Yes, a few, and great times they have had in their caucuses, intrigues, plots and counter- plots. ' ' Grafters? A few of these also, but none of that awful variety which first deserved the name. Grinds? Of course, for no class would be com- plete without them. Cases? Some very acute examples, both long and short, acute and chronic, transient and everlasting. Guns? Of all sorts, from chemistry to philos- ophy, both air and powder (the first chiefly among the boys and the latter exclusively among the girls). And now we all, politicians, grafters, grinds, cases, and guns, bid K. U. a fond farewell, ever remembering her for the part we have helped to play here. 32 t AMARETTE WEAVER, A. B. Lawrence. Rette. Pi Beta Phi. Quill Club, Associate Editor ' 05 Jayhawker, Senior Play Committee, Chairman Junior Farce Committee, Sophomore Prom Com- mittee, Senior Play. Rette has worked hard for the glory of ' 09 ever since she came up from Lawrence high school four years ago as a meek little freshman, (imagine her as a meek little freshman!) Look at the above record and see for yourself. The picture in last year ' s Annual is a little misleading, as Tom was one step lower down when it was taken. Unless she comes back for an A. M., we fear the corner at the south end of the check stand will be rather lonesome next year. Seriously speaking though, Amarette is one of the nicest girls in the class; brilliant, a good student, an earnest worker, and a good dancer. Just look at the picture and we feel sure you won ' t blame Tom in the least. GEORGE ROBINSON HIATT, A. B. Lawrence. Phi Beta Kappa, Thespian Club, Adelphic Lit- erary Society. A very proper boy, who will be a minister some day if he keeps on wearing clerical collars, in spite of his leaning for the honors of the stage. He is a close stu- dent of the Drama, having taken part in all the Thespian club performances since the club was organized. George is also interested in History, and has a name very like that of the Father of His Country, the Honorable George — ington. FRANCES CARTER, A. B. Lawrence. Y. W. C. A. She is a fair little lassie with an earnest look in her ever-blue eyes. Quick and reserved, unpresuming and unpresumed, she has gone through the University. A very tiny girl to send out on the cruel tide of the world. She will hold her own nevertheless, by means of Gertnan and English. WILLIAM LEROY BURDICK, A. B. Lawrence. Alpha Tau Omega, Class football and base- ball ' 07- ' 08, Senior Farce Committee. Burdick came to Lawrence from Yale just to have the honor of graduating with the class of ' 09. He is a thorough athlete and all-around strong man. Con- tortions are his long suit, (bodily, not facial contor- tions). It is said that he went to the Senior Girls ' party, but whether in body or in spirit is not known. 33 m WINIFRED ALEXANDER, A. B. Denver, Colo. Secretary of Freshman Class. Winsome Winnie is the pet of the class ana loved by all who know her — more by some, perhaps, than others. She early distinguished herself by winning the race for Freshman Secretary and performed the arduous duties of that office with faithful exactness. She is one of the nice little girls of the class, has a host of friends and not one enemy. NELLE HOUSTON, A. B. Wichita. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ' 07- ' 09. As Secretary to Dean Templin, Nelle has the inside facts on every Senior in the College. Everyone treats her nice for the things she knows wouldn ' t look well in print. She has a mild temper and belongs to the Y. W. C. A. Will go down in history as the one woman who kept dozens of secrets all to herself. CLIFFORD F. ROYER, A. B. Abilene. The man from Abilene with the perpetual smile is seldom in a hurry, but is always busy. He generally pauses outside of the class room door to take one more peep into his note book for fear the Professor might begin at the foot of the alphabet and learn that Clifford has been wasting his time. But he pursues his musical studies diligently, for he hopes to become an operatic star. Here ' s success to him in his prima donna career. MILDRED McCURDY, A B. Lawrence. Mil. Secretary of Junior Class, Sophomore Com- mittee, Junior Farce Committee, Y. W. C. A. One of those awful girls ; awful nice, awful sweet, awful pretty, awful smart, awful good, and awful popular. She has a horror of cases (?) but manages to have either the remnants of one. or the start of another, or both, on hand all the time. Just at present she has a full-back on the string, but before this year ends, well — who knows? You ' ll have to get the latest information for yourself. She belongs to the anti-rat society. 34 ADDIE M. JACKSON, A. B. Lawrence. Phi Beta Kappa, Senior Committee, Y. W. C. A. Addie is one of those students who successfully com- bine high scholarship and athletics, being particularly interested in football. She had an awful good time in Kansas City on Thanksgiving day and kept Bill from celebrating till after he got back to Lawrence. Phi Beta Kappa seems to run in her family. We wonder 1 if foot ball will. PAUL VANCE FARAGH ' ER, A. B. Sabetha. R. T. Sigma Xi, Phi Beta Kappa, German Play ' 06- ' 07, French Play ' 08, Junior Farce, Chairman Senior Play Committee. My time is money is his favorite saying and he is always short on time. He has considerable ability as an actor and was one of the leading men in a modernized production of The Rivals last fall. He lost his posi- tion with this company and now plays in tragedy instead of comedy ; whether the manager fired him or the leading lady objected, no one knows. Paul is H. P. ' s latest understudy and bids fair to outshine his older brother in this act. But nobody cares any more. MINTA SCHMITZ, A. B. Paola. Kappa Kappa Gamma, Y. W. C. A. One of the few girls who have never had a case that was noticeable while in school. It is said that her mamma was delighted when Robbie (who ' s he?) decided not to come to K. U. when Minta did. Of course Minta could do much better work and all that sort of a thing, you know. What a self-sacrificing boy he must be. But then, come to think of it, she is worth the trouble. She is one of the unusual girls — never talks much about the things she does. HOWARD M. RANDALL, A. B. Newton. Sigma Chi, Football ' 08, French Play ' 06, Junior Prom Committee. During the stirring days of our advent at K. U., Howard acted as temporary leader of the cohorts. His signature can be found below the famous Treaty of Peace, between the Sophs and Freshies of four years ago. He has lately received the appointment as U. S. Consul to Fiji, in the Filliprune Islands, where the cannibals are as common as cases in spring at K. U. He has already acquired the Fiji swagger, the characteristic walk of the islanders. 35 m ETHEL VALE BENNETT, A. B. Iola. Betty. She passes well for a Spanish princess and is cruel in her treatment of the boys. She can make love in four languages, but does the most fatal work with her eyes. Every boy has a dictionary. Her ability to get a Ger- man lesson, talk to the fellow by her side, and listen to a lecture all in one hour is absolutely unexcelled. CLANROLD A. BURNETT, A. B. Girari). Kernel. Burnett belongs to Boynton ' s Socialists, being one of the mainstays of that bunch. This strenuous life, how- ever ' , has not prevented him from devoting a good deal of his time to the gentle art of tennis. Burnett has a very fine esthetic taste and is one of the epicures of the class. He likes everything of the best. KATHRYNE MARIE WILSON, A. B. Lawrence. Here is another one of those girls who changed their name some years ago. She has the only patented copy- right on her way of spelling Kathryne. She is the tall- est member of the Wilson-Williams-Everett triplets and also the quietest. German has been her specialty, along with old English and a few other dried-up subjects, but she hasn ' t been affected by their 1 dryness in the least. She might have had a case with one of the twins if she had not persisted in smiling at the wrong one. AUGUST R. KREHBIEL. A. B. Lawrence. Dutch. Editor ' 09 Jayhawker, Glee Club ' 07- ' 08, Junior Farce, Junior Prom Committee, Politics ' 05- ' 09. Dutch ' s pedigree runs ' way back to real, high- browed German princes and he is just as stubborn as any of them. If he were on the other side he would, beyond a doubt, be telling the Kaiser how to run affairs. Since he is not, he is content as heir apparent to the Librarian ' s throne. In high school he received his fifst training as an editor and politician. His honorable record as a scrapper was sadly marred late in his career as he left the ranks of the Old Guard to sup- port the Suffragettes. He has a good-looking freshman girl and is really quite satisfied with things as they are. 36 , ALMA THiEODOSIA MANLEY. A. B. Junction City. Gretchen. Kansan Board ' 05, ' 06, ' 07; Quill Club President ' 08, Jayhawker Board ' 08, Senior Play ' 09, Thes- pians The Climbers ' 09, Chairman Senior Farce Committee ' 09, Senior Play, Secretary Quest Club ' 08. A broad-minded girl who has worked hard for two classes. She performed valuable services for last year ' s class but only as a matter of accommodation. Her good sense was shown when she decided to come into the fold of 1909. Won fame as Trotty ' s Dodo Bird. Her ambitions tend toward the footlights. She is the future George Eliot of America. ARCHIE P. NARAMORE, A. B. Wichita. Narry. Sigma Chi, Junior Class President, Secretary and Cabinet of Y. M. C. A., Pirates of Penzance, Patience, Junior Farce, Senior Play Committee, Senior Play. Arch is one of the men we have selected for 1 signal distinction. He is very deserving, for from leading grand marches and captivating every girl ' s fancy to directing the movements of the Y. M. C. A., he is found indis- pensable. He looks best just before he shaves, and you will always know him by his laugh. LOLA MAY PERKINS, A. B. Lawrence. Lola is quite a history gun, her specialty being the law of recapitulation of the human race. She intends either to teach or to take graduate wofk at K. U. next year. For the sake of the school children, it is hoped that she does the latter. J. R. VANATTA, A. B. Beloit. Bob. Nu Sigma Nu, Scholarship in Bacteriology and Pathology, ' 07- ' 08, ' 08- ' 09. It was mighty hard for Bob to change from the Medical School to the College; but he did it and has managed to live through the shock. What he doesn ' t know about Bacteriology isn ' t worth knowing, and all the girls say he is a perfectly lovely teacher. But it doesn ' t turn his head at all, for Bob failed to bring the susceptible portion of his anatomy with him when he came to Lawrence ; and it is said that his favorite song is The Girl I Left Behind Me. From associa- tion with Professor Emley, he has gained the same noble and seraphic dignity in extracting five dollars a; a single operation. 37 MARY AVIS MARIS, A. B. Lawrence. This young lady stayed out of school a year in order 1 to say that she graduated in the class of ' 09. She is quite a gun in German and Celtic, and will some day be teaching the little Dutchmen how to speak their own language. We have not heard of any startling matrimonial complications surrounding Mary ; but you never can tell by appearances, and it is sometimes those who say the least who kick up the most dust when once they get started. Mary has a brother who won fame by having a head-on collision with the heels of a colt, although she is no relation to the little Miss Mary who had a garden. If there is anything else you want to know, apply to Katherine Flynn, as she is up on the latest information in regard to Mary. LESLIE CAHILL, A. B. Osborne. Happy. Secretary of Democratic Club. Happy Cahill will be remembered as long as any one in the class. When a freshman, he was strictly true to his name, as he even posed during that time for various artists who were making posters. He would now make a good subject for a Senior poster. During his Junior year he was badly smitten, but relations must have ceased some time during the summer corres- pondence, as this fall witnessed no return of foimer strolls. GERTRUDE A. KENNY, A. B. Lawrence. Gertrude is one of our good, dependable students, and has improved her time at K. U. Next year she will try the other side of education, the teaching side, and we wish her every success. EDNA GAFFORD, A. B. Topeka. Gaff. Kappa Alpha Theta, Junior Prom Committee. Gaff is a jolly good fellow and has hundreds of friends among the boys simply because she understands them and treats them accordingly. She and her Lustige Witwe added to the attractions in last year ' s Annual. Her good clothes and many pictures at Con ' s are the envy of all the other girls on the Hill. Cases have no charm for her since Red went away. 38 SARA WHITE, A. B. Ada. Quill Club. Sara is the second Jane Addams and says she is going to devote her life to settlement work. We have our doubts however and think it more likely that she will go into the Money Order business. (If this isn ' t clear to you, never mind; Sara understands.) The first thing one notices about Sara is her eyes which are black and very expressive, in fact they are impressive as well, and she uses them very modestly and skillfully. Sara is another of our literary guns and writes verse as well as pfose. In fact she is one of the finest girls in the class, and we envy the high school that gets her for an English teacher — that is, if she teaches school, which is very doubtful from the looks of things. RAY DUNCAN LINDSEY, A. B. Cherryvale. He also is a member of the Blackmar Matrimonial School. Leads the simple life and has nothing to draw him away from his studies. RUTH KENNEY, A. B. Lawrence. Y. W. C. A. Behold one of our ex-school-marms. You wouldn ' t think it from the picture at least, and if you just knew her, you would be still less likely to think it. Mathe- matics and History are her especial pets. Her favorite expre ssion is Bless Pat. No one has been able to find out yet who Pat is, but he ' s a lucky man if she blesses him in the right way, and quite the contrary if she blesses him according to the conventional meaning of the term. Look out, Pat. NOLA M. AYERS, A. B. HORTON. Kappa Kappa Gamma, Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ' 07- ' 08, Junior Prom Committee, Junior Farce, Prin- cess Ida, Chairman Senior Class Day Luncheon. The girl with the golden hair and sunny smile. She is one of the kind that will always be young and she doesn ' t read the Chaperone, either. She is an author- ity on baseball and is an enthusiastic fan. In one of the most exciting games played here for three years she assisted a famous first baseman to make a home-run that is still talked about in K. U. circles. A loyal and earnest worker 1 for the class, she will end her school days admired by all. 39  GRACE M. LESLIE, A. B. Lawrence. Pi Beta Phi, Junior Farce. Junior Committee, Senior Play. Grace is another one of those poor unfortunates who has been inconsolable since a certain — — quit school. She is very quiet, with much dignity and com- posure and never talks a great deal on any subject. Not having any similar troubles of her own, she is interested in Bob Hackman in a sisterly sort of a way. GOLDWIN I. NUGENT, A. B. Briggs Corner, Canada. Not satisfied with any other nation than the good old U. S., and with no other state than Kansas, and with no other town than Lawrence, Goldwin came to K. U., and here he is, all graduated and ready to gc back to Canada and astonish the natives with the genuine article in sheepskins. When he gets back to Canada, no doubt he will have some wild and exciting tales to tell of life at K. U. NADIA THOMAS, A. B. Lawrence. Chi Omega, President Y. W. C. A., Quill Club, Junior Farce Committee, Senior Play Committee, Senior Play. Lawrence always turns out a high grade of students and Nadia is no exception to the rule. She is one of the loyal workers for the class. Under her leadership the Y. W. C. A. has become a real help to the girls of the University. RACHEL A. WHITE, A. B. Delphos. Although Rachel is registered in the College she takes a course in the Law School several evenings in the week, and expects to complete her course in Law some time in the near future. Rachel created considerable excitement by getting blown off the front doorstep of Fraser Hall soon after Christmas, and spent three weeks of vacation at home. She says she had to work terribly hard to catch up in her 1 lessons, but her teachers were all awfully good to her, and she has made up everything but her Law Course. She expects to take a special examination in this subject, however, and will undoubtedly make a grade I in Contracts. 40 EARL C. HALL, A. B. Lawrence. Slim. Earl is a disciple of Van in the Mathematics Depart- ment, so much so in fact that he doesn ' t have time for anything but ragtime. He is almost as tall as the Chancellor but considerably more of his length is neck. He was the only student who was really sorty when Ashton went away, and is earnestly awaiting his return. RUBY HOSFORD, A. B. Lawrence. Rube, Rubby. Phi Beta Kappa. Y. W. C. A. Rubby is such a good cook. It ' s a shame she feels as she does about the men. The class with its many social functions did all in its power to free her of this not nice way of regarding the stronger sex. Determined she is to become the said school marm. Anyway, good conscientious study gained for her one of the great- est scholastic honors our magnificent school can confer upon a mortal. ERNEST E. GREGG, A. B. Lawrence. Ernest has by some hook or crook earned the name of being the bad boy of the class. Way back in the Pale- ozoic age when he enrolled in the University he was reported as a model for all. But his reputation has now become such that he says that he is only going to stay in K. U. two more years to get his M. D. ALICE M. ASHER, A. B. Lawrence. Quill Club, Quill Board. Alice is one of the leading literary lights of the Uni- versity, having published a leap-year proposal in Judge last year, which won her instant recognition and an immediate reply from several hundred New York million- aires. But Alice is a devotee to her intended literary career and steadily refused all offers, except from former Kansans. Alice is another of the girls who feeds the boys at night, and they all say she is a famous cook. For further history of her conquests and achievements, apply to Mildred or Grace. They know all about it, for they hold all secrets in common. But they never tell on each other. 41 AGNES GREENLEES, A. B. Lawrence. Agnes has become an adept in turning Phi Gam cor- ners, sitting in Phi Gam corners, going on Phi Gam sleigh rides and in fact has become quite a Phi Gam girl. She is of a classic style of beauty even if she is a town girl. But from all appearances she won ' t be a town girl much longer. R. CECIL FAY, A. B. Olathe. Acacia. After he discarded the brown corduroy suit, he began making the noise himself. His tonsorial tendencies are the delight of all the barber ' s in town. After an illness of some weeks this year he returned to school disguised as a man. Lee nicked his best razor and spent three hours ' time trying to make Fay look natural. Cecil is Templin ' s protege and will some day he a philosopher. ELIZABETH ROBERTS, A. B. Roper. It must have been some of that good old Kansas grit that helped this girl in spite of the misfortune of ill health to keep pace with our 1 world-beater class. Yet she would desert her Protozoans and Zygotes to nurse afflicted humankind back into welldom. May her path in life be plainly lined, never stippled. JONATHAN FREDERIC FROELICH, A. B. Enterprise. Religious and Philosophic Union, Y. M. C. A., Band ' 07- ' O8. Froelich, which literally translated means happy, has the most expressive name in the class. He has a cute little smile about the right hand coiner of his mouth and trips as blithely along the street as Professor Gray, although we are glad to say that the resemblance stops there. Froelich is one of the solidest men in the class and comes down hard on everything below him. He could be a minister if he tried, but he thinks it hardly worth the trouble. 42 . GRACE COLLINS, A. B. Lawrence. Y. W. C. A., Junior Prom Committee. Grace ' s modesty forbade her putting down her greatest honor; she helped lead the Grand March at the Junior Prom. Her case record has been varied and exciting, including a specimen from almost every school on the Hill, and drawing most heavily on the Medical Depart- ment for its reputation. HUGH DURHAM, A. B. Mankato. Uncle Josh. Not of the Bull Durham Co. Durham is one of the few married men in the class. He brings the children up to play in the Library every Saturday morning. After ' serving some years as county-superintendent of schools, he decided to quit teaching until he knew a little some- thing to teach, and so he came to K. U. to finish his education. It is easy to see from Durham ' s general outline that he boards at home. BERTHA LUCKAN, A. B. Lawrence. Bert. Pi Beta Phi, Y. W. C. A., Junior Prom Com- mittee, Girls ' S. G. C Bertha is Tom V. ' s only rival but we fear that Tom has her time beat to a frazzle. However, she got even with him by having a little affair of her own. Here is another one of those good Lawrence girls who belong to Miss Corbin ' s S. G. C. But who knows . J. H. BACHMANN, A. B. MOUNDRIDGE. Bachmann is another one of our married men. As one might guess from his name he is Deutsch, ganz Deutsch. Mrs. B. isn ' t. It is said that she is an ardent student of the language, in ofder to learn enough of it to keep good track of Bachmann. As might be expected, he is one of the specialists in the German department. 43 LUCIE HORTENSE HODGE SNYDER, A. B. Hays. Pat. The smallest girl in the class in proportion to her name, which is probably the cause of her lack in inches and avoirdupois. She makes up for all these lacks how- ever by her fidgets, and can occupy as much space at one time as Prof. Iiushong. Ladies ' Home Journal and French are her avocations. Lucie is the head of the Johnson Information Bureau. For references apply to F. H. Hodder, care University of Kansas. RALPH C. JOHNSON, A. B. Cottonwood Falls. Freshman - Sophomore Debate ' 07, Debating Council ' 07-W, X. Y. Z. Debating Club, Religious and Philosophical Union. K. C. is one of the more substantial members of the class. You can always count on what he is going to do. This well-known trait was especially noticeable in his political career. Johnson would always visit every caucus and then late in the game organize a little caucus of his own. His specialty in public speaking is nomi- nating speeches, but strange to say, his nominees hardly ever came out on top. He is said to be a woman hater, but, — well for further information on this subject, look above. LOUISE UPTON LEONARD, A. B. Kansas City, Mo. Although Louise registers from Kansas City, Mo., she is a loyal Jayhawker, . having been born and raised in Lawrence. Since moving to Kansas City it is said that she is either Upton or down town all the time and when she is at neither place, she is on the way to one or the other. She wears a hat that reminds one of Wright Bros ' , aeroplane, with pigeon wings for steer- ing-gear. MARLIN HATFIELD POINDEXTER, A. B. Kansas City. Poiney. Phi Delta Theta, Senior Play Committee, Sen- ior Play, Chairman Class Day Committee. Marlin brought his name up from Kansas City and got a grade under Hodder by admitting that he was a direct descendant of the Poindexters of Mississippi. At present he is taking sewing circle courses, but from being often consulted by the Chancellor in public he has developed a .preternaturally solemn cast of countenance and weight of manner. Assisted Prof. Gray in the May Day Fete — a howling success. Altogether, he is one of the solidest men in the class and a genuine good fellow at the same time. New Mexico land values will get a real boost when Poiney opens his land office there. 44 A. L. VAN METER, A. B. Parsons. Van. Sigma Nu, Phi Chi, U. of Illinois ' 05- ' 07. U. of Michigan ' 07- ' 08. A sort of an intellectual race horse is Van. He has tried ' em all and pronounces Kansas best of the bunch. He will keep up his rapid gait for wisdom next year at Johns Hopkins. When he grows tired of that place he wi ' .l dash over to Heidelberg and show the Ger- mans bow things are done. Van is a good fellow and well liked by all. ADAH ALBERTA CLARKE, A. B. Sioux Falls, S. D. Al. Sophomore Prom Committee. Junior Prom Committee, Y. W. C. A. Alberta ' s specialty is physical education. Whether she wants to learn to grow strong or is just trying to graduate along the line of least resistance is not known. Perhaps it is both. She also knows some things about Zoology and bugs which wou ' d look well in print, but we don ' t intend to put any of those good looks in the Annual. CHAS. W. RUMMELL, A. B. Wichita. Red. Glee Club ' 06- ' 07, President Sedgwick County Club ' 07- ' 08, Class football ' 08, Junior Farce ' 08. His motto is I believe in the firm I am working for and the goods I am selling, but he works for so many firms and sells so many kinds of goods that you can hardly believe him. He thinks that he will go to the Philippines to teach, but two to one he ' ll be selling the natives books they can ' t read and clothes they can ' t wear. The strain is beginning to tell, as his nickname will soon be P aldy instead of Red. ALICIA McNAUGHTON, A. B. TONGANOXIE. Thespians As You Like It, Senior Play Alicia doesn ' t really belong to our class, but as she is going to graduate with us, she can ' t help being in our Annual. She really belongs to the Juniors, as she directs their chief executive office. Although she came from a town with a bad reputation, she has helped it out wonderfully during her stay at K. U. 45 AGNES CAROLINE HANSON, A. B. Lawrence. Member of the Scandinavian Club. No relation to the famous George ; but she and Professor Sturtevant have nice, cozy little chats about Ibsen, — and all the other sons. She is terribly afraid we will say something bad about her in the Annual; but we promised we wouldn ' t if she would make us a box of fudge. Really, Agnes is one of our favorites ; and if only she wouldn ' t be so chummy with B. B. she could be a genuine gun. She started out to take Latin, but decided that modern languages were more interesting. FAY E. LIVENGOOD, A. B. Hutchinson. Phi Beta Kappa, Glee Club ' 05- ' 06, Pirates of Penzance, Patience, X. Y. Z. Debating Club, Re- ligious and Philosophical Union, Quill Club, Y. M. C A. Cabinet ' 08- ' 09, Greek Symposium, Ger- man Verein. Is also interested in the Y. W. C. A. Fay is the salt of the earth for a fact, as he hails from Hutchinson. He is almost all savor too. For the last year he has been the calm in the midst of the whirlwind at the checkstand, and never bats an eye, even when the Cham cellor says, Come up to chapel, boys. Livengood in- tends to be a Christian minister. MARY H. JOHNSTON. Lawrence. Mary J. Kappa Kappa Gamma, Y. W. C. A. Mary J. was here in Lawrence waiting for us, when we came, and she has always been good company. It has been noticed of late that she is absent-minded. The explanation is that her mind is among the wheat fields of North Dakota. GRACE D. GRAHAM, A. B. Altoona. Grace Graham, genuine German gun, gladly goes gadding every day with Pearl, for besides her proclivities for promenading she also takes an interest in Latin and long-legged gentlemen of the Law variety. He grad- uated last year, but Gracie does this spring, and so it will be all right in the near future. She is very much interested in the Deutscher Verein a nd has served as an officer so long that we would think it strange if we didn ' t find her sitting at the front of the room. Gracie will be a school teacher, perhaps, — but it is not very probable. 46 GUY E. MOSHER, A. B. Parsons. Moze. Pirates of Penzance, Patience, Junior Prom Committee, Junior Farce, Vice-President of Class ' 09. This is Aunt Cafrie ' s pet, a position of eminence gained through his gentle voice and lovely manners. Moze is another one of the men with a single case. It is really so bad that he even refuses to let his best girl ' s room-mate return with them after supper. Things may be different latef on when it doesn ' t get dark until 8 o ' clock. His favorite expression is What ' s the use? but he was never heard to say that just before going calling on Friday.. Satufday and Sunday nights. He prefers to spell his nick-name, Moze, but from the way he shuffles his feet at times, one would be inclined to spell it Mose. HATTIE SHIPLEY, A. B. Belleville. We couldn ' t say anything disagreeable about her if we tried, especially as we hear she is terribly afraid we shall. So far as we know Hattie is a credit to her parents, for she has certainly made good in the English Department and come through school in just the way that makes us glad to know her. Hattie doesn ' t talk very much, but she always knows what to do at the proper time; and no one in the class has more friends than she. Information is lacking as to whether she has specialized in any particular direction; but the data would probably be very interesting if it could all be collected. Here ' s to high hopes for Hattie. FLOYD M. JOHNS, A. B. Glasco. An A No. 1 book agent. Spent last summer cadooz ling farmers in Western Kansas into buying 700 pages called Practical Stock-Doctor. All this comes ffom being Rummell ' s room-mate. Otherwise he is a very staid and steady person, who loves old English, and revels in Browning and Shakespeare. He has a special fondness for the Dean of the College. Is the originator of the famous battle cry, Where Are My Pants? MINNIE L. PICKENS, A. B. Lawrence. Here is a philosophy gun, who is already enrolled as a graduate student in that department and is working for an A. M. (master ' s degree, not A. M.an). She isn ' t always as busy as she looks, however. 47 ■ WILLARD AUSTIN WATTLES, A. B. Wichita. Phi Beta Kappa, Annual Board, Senior Play Committee, Senior Play, Junior Farce, Thespians, German Play ' 08, French Play ' 09, President Quill Club, President Deutscher Verein ' 08, Quill Board ' 09, President Quest Club ' 09, Secretan Religious Union ' 08, Class Lacrosse ' 06- ' 07, Snow Literary ' 05, Graduate Club ' 09. Willard is the most conscientious boy in the class, so conscientious in fact, that he would take his room- mate ' s best girls to basket ball games rather than see them usurped by the enemy. He is a specialist in Eng- lish, Latin, German and limericks, and will probably teach one or all of these subjects some day. He also claims the honor of having the stubbor ' nest cow-lick in the school, with the exception of Bob Ray ' s. AMY MERSTETTER, A. B. Kansas City. Kappa Kappa Gamma, Phi Beta Kappa, Y. W. C. A., Senior Girls ' Committee. Amy is the only one in the class who learned the trick of having a good time and making all I ' s during her school career. Was rushed by Phi Beta Kappa her first month at K. U., but on account of extreme youth decided to wait awhile. The Latin faculty fre- quently seeks her advice on disputed points. She is an ardent student of the dead languages, being especially interested in three letters, Phi Delta Theta. She does n t believe in week night dates — any more. Her know- ledge of Latin will not be used for teaching, as anybody can see who cartes to look at the signet on her left hand. WATSON CAMPBELL, A. B. Attica. Phi Gamma Delta, Good Government Club. Both the college and the law school claim Watson, but as a matter of fact he carries his major in the Good Government Club. They say that when he casually offers a Senator or an ex-Governor a place on the program he invariably causes the recipient of the invita- tion to feel that he has reached the pinnacle of his public career. In the law school they say he is there with the jimson, and in the college we have a sus- picion that more than one recitation of his has passed unquestioned because no one had the nerVe to doubt it. If he takes up law we can even now see him on the bench — and the Standard Oil Company had better count its money again. LILLAHi EVELYN HOGUE, A. B. Springhill. The champion stroller of the class. She sets the pace for Gussie, who does the John Alden stunt for a gentleman in Emporia. Lillah has a lien on Law students, and is known by her giggle. Her complexion is lily-like; but it doesn ' t rub off, so they say. Every- body likes her because she is jolly and good-natured, and some people like her better than others. Lillah likes to specialize, but she gets a new subject every year. Her future occupation will undoubtedly be housekeeping, but the interesting question just now is, Who will he be? 48 ALBERT S. EVANS, A. B. Kansas City. Old Lightning. Allemania, Chairman Junior Prom Invitation Committee, Manager ' 09 Jayhawker. Bert is known as Old Lightning and The Sphinx, on account of his remarkable speed at walking and abil- ability as a talker. He has several busy thoughts be- hind that placid front of his and will probably do something some day if given time enough. He won the pennant his first year 1 as the slowest moving boy in the class, and has held the honor since then, as no one cared to compete with him. He sleeps till nine each morning and does much of his work by means of absent treatment. The silent method of manipulating politics was invented by him. His easy- going, good-natured way has won him many friends. LUCY HAYES BUCK, A. B. Lawrence. Little Girl. Y. W. C. A, Quill Club, Snow Literary. Valuable things are done up in small packages. A small, animated bundle of sunshine, always in a hurry and happy as a lark. She is fond of larks her ' self, and is always ready for a good time. Lucy has been teaching Freshman Literature this year, and next year expects to be teaching kindergarten in New York City. She intends to save railroad fare by traveling through the mails in _ a capdy box, and we don ' t believe the postmaster will object, as sweetmeats always go first- class and no questions asked. VICTOR E. CHESKY, A. B NlCKERSON. •Green Bug Collector, Enid, Okla., ' 07; Inspec- tor for State Entomological Commission, Wich- ita, ' 08. Three year ' s in the Bug-house have not affected Vic ' s mentality in the least. He hasn ' t even tried to assume that vacant stare common to most scientists. His record speaks well for him, as he has made good in Entomology. When the department (Samuel J.) needs a good man Chesky is called. He knows lots, but doesn ' t make much fuss about it. Is interested in Lepidoptera — the kind with wings. NELLIE LOIS HARRIS, A. B. Lawrence. Y. W. C. A. The following puzzle was propounded on her informa- tion card: I made the course in less than four yeafs and yet was a regular member of every class since 1906 inclusive. The Annual ' s guess on this riddle is either that she was a member of the P. S. B. or that she was an awful grafter, but the trouble is that we know neither of these answers is right. However, if you want to see the portrait of a really live gatling-gun conversa- tionalist, and a person with eyes that talk, get oui your microscope and enlarge this photo to life-size. 49 ELIZABETH LUCIA LAIRD, A. B, Kansas City, Mo. Quill Club, Patience, Social Committee and Practical Service Committees, Y. W. C. A. Quite a Y. W. C. A. girl, although you wouldn ' t know it from her looks. The boys all say she is pretty, but the girls say she isn ' t. Can you figure out the reason? Her mother came down last year 1 to take care of hef, and was so well satisfied with her behavior that she thought Elizabeth could get along without her this year. Elizabeth is one of the luminosities of the Quill Club, and is a born story-teller. Some day we expect her to be a second Mrs. Lease, as she belongs to the Woman Suffrage Club. VERNI L. C. SMITH, A. B. Colby. None. Champion Lacrosse Team ' 08, Freshman Foot- ball Team ' 04. Verni, in spite of his ladylike name, is the veritable Frank Gotch of the University. He is quite a politi- cian, too, and came near running for mayor in opposi- tion to Carruth until he decided that the salary of one dollar would scarcely pay his poll tax; for Verni is big enough to have two votes, and might have to pay double. CLARA TERESA RADELL, A. B. Pittsburg. Clara ought to be a prize fighter, by the way she swings her arms. She is always in a hurry, but gen- erally gets there on time. Botany and Latin are her favorite studies, but she has a ready st ' ck of informa- tion on any subject you can mention to her. She would make a good stump speaker if she only had a larger vocabulary and a better ' flow of words (joke). The only thing in zoology she doesn ' t know about is the genus homo, and she says she is willing to learn. ELIZABETH KENEASTER, A. B. Lawrence. Bess. Quill Club, The Climbers, Junior Farce Com- mittee, Junior Farce, Senior Farce Committee. Bess, as she reports her nickname, has already changed her name once from plain Bess, as it used to be, to Elizabeth, as it now appears, and to all ap- pearances it will not be lonj before she will change it again. Bess has one of the most chronic, aggravated and long-drawn-out cases on the Hill— in fact an inter- collegiate record for endurance has been established which will not soon be broken. Hef ambition was to become a German tea cher; but now 50 GEORGIA ETHEL SMART, A. B. Ottawa. Kappa Alpha Theta. This is a picture of Georgia, the Bearded Lady. She isn ' t very cordial, but she is very generous and awfully economical, for by feeding him lunch from a corner of her frat house table every day she has enabled him to give her a good start in the cutlery line. Last year she was raising a beard. This year she is training it. RUBY PHILLIPS, A. B. BURLINGAME. Chi Omega, Junior Prom Committee, French Play, Senior Play. As a Gibson Girl, Ruby is a real success. She is an artist in the quick change of facial expression from cold disdain to winning smiles and has used this gift effec- tively in getting grades and in managing mere man. Her hobby is studying boys, merely in a disinterested way, and she is never in want of subjects. R. W. PEARD. Enid, Okla. Roger. Junior Farce. Kansas Board ' 07- ' 08, Basket- ball ' 07- ' 08. Roger has had one of the most meteoric careers ever witnessed at K. U. In his Freshman year he wore enough varieties of clothes to make him the envy of the whole Sig Alph bunch, chief and loudest among these being a pair of pale cream corduroy peg-top trousers, with cuffs the color of skimmed milk. He has a bull- dog which in bull-dog circles is said to be almost as good looking as Roger himself. Besides eartiing the reputation of being the second Earl of Chesterfield, he has the reputation of being the busiest man on the Hill, to get nothing done. All in all, we do not think he has been enough appreciated and we fear Roger doesn ' t think so either. MABEL SANFORD ERGENBRIGHT, A. B. Independence. Mabel came to K. U. from Baker just because she was so interested in football and football men. At first she took prominent part in Y. W. work, but finally con- cluded that she could be of more effective service among the Y. M., and especially among the football players. Finally hef efforts became more intensive, and deciding that the left guard was the most susceptible subject, she turned her attentions to him, and with howling success. She owns a diamond, but hasn ' t nerve enough to flash it except on state occasions. 51 m ESTHER ELIZABETH BROWNLEE, A. B. Lawrence. Dollie. Esther intends to go to the Philippines. What she will do there is not definitely known. It is said that she would go to- Morrow — if Cy were only there. She is one of the quiet, unassuming kind who say little and du much. Her favorite picture is The Bridge of Cys. HAROLD MARKS ARMSBY. Council Grove. Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Delta Phi, Masque Club, Good Government Club, Vice-President Sophomore Class, Sophomore Prom Committee, Junior Prom Committee, Junior Farce, Senior Play, Class Day Committee. His pretty face and pleasing smile prevented his mak- ing Phi Beta Kappa. Harold is one of the real fussers ' ' of the class. The girls are simply crazy about him. However, even the best of things grow common after a time, he says, and of late the clamor of the fair ones has failed to charm. He is slighting the College and is becoming a devoted follower of Uncle Jimmy. LOLA LUCILLE SMART, A. B. Ottawa. Kappa Alpha Theta, Secretary Freshman Class ' 06, Thespian Dramatic Club, K. U. Orchestra, Y. W. C. A. It ' s some accomplishment to have been able to handle successfully no less than six untamed men, besides being a dramatic star, a social whirler and, when e ' er there was time, a scholar, in one short University career of one winsome maid who just can ' t make her eyes behave. More still, to be one of three sisters far- famed as the keenest casers that ever struck the Hill. Now the vital question is, will Willie be able to catch up? LESTER E. SPRAY, A. B. Lawrence. Les. One more from Lawrence. Les is a born stu- dent and is quietly settled on Kentucky street, pre- pared for two or three years longer at K. U. He in- tends to finish engineering some day. He has many accomplishments, chief of these being his happy smile. 52 MARY ELIZABETH PARKER, A. B. Lawrence. Maybeth. Y. W. C. A., Chairman of Student Govern- ment Committee. Her one great sorrow is that she could not persuade Lummie to join the Woman ' s Suffrage movement In addition to many other duties, social and intellectual, Maybeth cheerfully espoused the cause of the suffrag- ettes. Owing to her ardent support, that band of martyrs has made a stir in feminine circles this year. FREDERICK F. BUSCH, A. B. Junction City. Anheuser. The boy with the pink cheeks. He had three classes of freshman girls and was for a time the most populai young professor on the Hill, till the fair maidens dis- covered about the lady in the case at the bookstore down town. Then Freddy lost out. He is going to the Philippines soon to teach the little Igorrotes how to spell, and it is said that he will not go alone. But if he does it is safe to prophesy that he will not be alone very long. GERTRUDE E. COPLEY, A. B. Kansas City, Mo. Phi Beta Kappa, Secretary of Senior Class ' 09, Y. W. C. A. Cabinet ' 08- ' 09, Pirates of Penzance, Patience, German Play ' 08, Junior Prom Com- mittee, Junior Farce, S. G. A. Committee, Senior Play, Senior Farce Committee. Gertrude is the girl who is strictly opposed to mid- night dates, but who doesn ' t object to mid-week dates at all, even though she is a devoted proselyte of the German department. She lacks just one vote of being the most popular girl in the class, because she was too modest to vote for 1 herself. She is strictly free from all contamination of cases, in the technical sense of the term, as she never has less than two in sight at a time. GRACE HORNADAY, A. B. Lawrence. Quill Club, Princess Ida, Senior Play. Gracie has the most aggravating dimples and the cutest giggle of any young lady on the Hill, and so she smiles sweetly all the time and is simply stunning. It is too bad she comes from Lawrence ; but, then, she doesn ' t have to keep the ten-thirty rule, and that is so much gained for Gracie. Grace is quite a story-teller, of the Prose Invention variety, and will be a famous novelist some day if she keeps on gaining experience — in the literary line, of course. 53 m SARAH ELLEN LEARY, A. B. Lawrence. We never should have guessed that she came from Baker, but she confessed it herself and laughed about it as though it were a huge joke. But everything to her is not a joke, although giggling is her major ' subject, Greek Art and Greek Architecture her minor. She has mastered all of Professor Wilcox ' s snap courses, although she admits that she has been stung on a few of them. EMMA MAUGHLIN, A. B. Lawrence. Emma takes second place in the contest for the honor of being the smallest girl in the class. With propef diet for about two weeks she could probably take first. Such a course of training, however, would remove the color from her blush. The blush in question is the most responsive blush ever, guaranteed to work on an instant ' s notice. Emma intends to teach Latin. FRED M. LYON, A. B. Paola. Jack. An all-around good fellow who has been too busy making friends to join the chase after the bubbles, known as honors. At least he cfedits himself with none. He has served The Kansan patiently two years and is a welcome addition to many other enterprises for the honor of the class. For reasons social and otherwise he stayed out a year and joined us under most pleasant conditions. Knows a little Greek (Chi Omega.) DORA FORAKER, A. B. Wellington. Never try to get ahead of Dora for she will get even with you by putting molasses and sugar in your chair. She ' s a man-hater and doesn ' t care who knows it. Her chief, delight is taking the conceit out of K. TJ. boys. Whenever you are busy, shy past her, for she ' s always rtady to talk and has a great deal to say worth hearing. She is up on all the latest gossip which she imparts in the newest slang of the day. She is one continuous vaudeville, change of program every five minutes. En- tertainment fifst class and refreshing; — amuses the ladies and delights the children. 54 MARION A. SPILMAN, A. B. McPherson. Marion comes from McPherson College and has only been with us two years. She never has much to say — not because she is bashful, but she is too busy with her own thoughts. She loves German and Mathematics, and is never seen without a copy of Granville ' s Calcu- lus. EDWARD W. WIEDEMANN, A. B. Lawrence. Wiede. Sigma Xi, Chief Caterer to K. U. Parties. As a manufacturer of Wiedemann ' s Best, Ed is noted for his frigid way of treating people. Making frozen dainties has not hindered his progress as a high rank student. He has the patience of Job, for he has been a godfather to Harry Kemp since the poet ' s arrival in our midst. A host of K. U. students are indebted to Ed for many good feeds. MAUD A. MAFFET, A. B. Lawrence. Phi Beta Kappa, Y. W. C. A. And her name was Maud, a fact which you wouldn ' t glean merely from the picture. Maud has been an honor student straight through her educational career, having graduated from high school at the head of her class. To all appearances, she just dotes on Latin, not a very nourishing diet for anyone, as the faculty of the dead language department gives ample evidence. EMILIE G. LAWRENCE, A. B. Ottawa. Emilie Lawrence is preparing to be a teacher, but from recent developments it is surmised that before next year she will make up her mind to something else. Lots of good teachers never ' teach. 55 RALPH J. PRYOR. Lawrence. Ching. Good Government Club ' 07- ' 08, Junior Prom Committee. Ralph was originally of the right sort and would still be were it not for the influence of a higher power. His mind was his very own until last year, when the poor boy put both mind and heart in the hands of another. No doubt Entomology, Pathology, and Cytology together will bring him back to his proper self. If he could only get over his love for bugs he might some day be a great doctor. BERNESE LORETTA BARRY, A. B. Lawrence. Y. W. C. A. There was a young lady named Barry With Agnes was awfully pairy, But ' tis no surprise If you look in her eyes For Barry ' s an airy young fairy. You never see Bernese without knowing that Agnes is somewhere in the vicinity. Their 1 friendship is of the genuine old fashioned variety, and we don ' t wonder that their admiration is mutual. ARNOLD F. LIVERS, A. B. ESBON. Y. M. C. A., Adelphic, Debating Council, X. Y. Z.. Class Lacrosse ' 05- ' 06. Arnold was real meek when he was a Freshman ; but since he went in for debating and oratory he has become the silver-tongued orator of Kansas, and we expect to see him running for President in a few years. Nothing can stop him if he once gets started. Arnold is one of the Reliable Old Guard, always to be depended on to deliver the goods. He used to be afraid of the girls, but we hear in his last year of school that he holds the ' Varsity record for standing long distance Sunday even- ing engagements, and he is ending his career in a blaze of glory. JESSIE M. COE, A. B. Lawrence. Jessie doesn ' t say much but the thinking she does is a plenty. She objects to being one of Artie ' s turkeys, ' ' however, and says if she ever teaches Latin that she will try to make her students love her. She will have no trouble to do this, judging from her success in K. U. and we predict a brilliant future for her if she keeps on as well as she has begun. Her favorite verb is amo in the passive voice. 56 ■ . SIBYL D. BETTS, A. B. Lawrence. Betsey. Quill Club Secretary ' 07, Quill Club Vice-Presi- dent ' 08, Junior Farce, Thespian Dramatic Club, The Little Minister, Annual Board. Sibyl astonished the world in The Little Minister and has been doing surprising stunts ever since. For awhile she undertook to train Harry Hibbard Kemp into the semblance of humanity; but it developed later that Harry was merely gaining experience for his new novel. Latest news is hard to gather as Sibyl is rather reticent on the subject of American Poets just at present. She is quite an artist and in addition is the second authority on cases, being especially fond of March weather. VINCENT V. BOSSI, A. B. Arkansas City. Dennis. His name is Dennis. Bossi holds the freshman record for verdancy, as it took him three months to learn the names of the buildings. He shows the effects of life at K. U. and now wears a green hat as a rtminder of days gone by. Domestic Science is his specialty. He has been a conscientious student and has received the reward of the righteous — good grades. JESSIE LEE McELFRESH, A. B. Osage City. Here you see a girl who says little but does a good deal. She doesn ' t talk about herself, and so we have to do it for her. Jessie writes poetry, and, unlike the com- mon run of poets, she sells it for good money. At pres- ent she is writing under an assumed name, but we hope it will not be long before she comes out from her hiding place. Everyone who knows her swears by her friendship, for she is always ready to help the fellow in hard luck, all the way from binding up a broken arm to giving the poor 1 puzzled critter a peep at her quiz paper. If Jessie makes as many friends out of school as she has here, her path will be a happy one. FRANCIS LE ROY COPPER, A. B. Cherokee. Y. M. C. A., Snow Literary, Greek Symposium. Copper is the pure stuff; no alloy about him. He rings true all right, but not for long at a time, as he was never known to say more than seven (7) words con- secutively. He is the only real lemon that the public speaking department ever drew. One of the few sur- vivors of that ancient institution, Snow Literary. 57 m MERLE PRUNTY, A. B. Wellington. Sigma Nu, Senior Farce Committee, Senior Play. When Merle was an innocent, bashfvil Freshman the ambition of his life was to go to Africa as a missionary. But behold the slow deterioration ! Before he had been here a term he realized that the girls thought him pretty, and he began to agree with them. During the first part of his Sophomore year, he learned to dance, and latei joined the Sigma Nus. Now he is the Beau Brummel of the class, and his sole aspiration is to become a high school principal. LENA BARBARA HUNZICKER, A. B. Lawrence. Buddy. Y. W. C. A. What a shame that the twins had to be separated even long enough for Lena to have her picture taken, for she was never seen alone before. Both Lucy and Lena say that they are useless each without the other. Lena aspires to become a German teacher, and in order to get her gfaft in early with the department, she has been throughout her 1 stay here the some-time musician of the Verein, and she has beat the box with such great satisfaction that Professor Carruth has decided that she is a German scholar. MABEL RUTH GILL, A. B. Clyde. Gillie. Y. W. C A. The Ouija Board has been her main guide through the tribulations at K. U. She consults it during quiz week, much to her relief and profit. Through its direction she has taken a fancy to Latin, but is still in doubt as to her future — hasn ' t had time to seek advice of the Oracle yet. EDGAR GLENN CORWINE, A. B. Mulvane. Shorty. Y. M. C. A. Cabinet ' 08- ' 09, Editor Y. M. C. A. Handbook ' 08- ' 09, Entomological Expedition 1905, German Verein, Greek Symposium, Snow Literary, Gym Instructor ' 08- ' 09. In addition to all this, Shorty was University weather-man from Nov., ' 07, to Jan., ' 09. They say that he will become a Y. M. C. A. secretary some day if he can overcome the habit of prevarication acquired during that time. (Who ever heard of a Y. M. C. A. weather- man?) He is generally known as the man who is always in a hurry and never on time, notwithstanding the fact that he is reversible and can walk on either end. He is also somewhat of a socialist, having interests in Garden City at present, although he used to find good Pickens in Lawrence. 58 HATTIE FLORENCE MITCHELL, A. B. Neodesha. Hattie is one of the most modest and retiring girls in the class. If boys were spiders, she would certainly be a typical Miss Muffet. However she is not on the Mother Goose style at all, but is a very up-to-date girl. No one has ever been able to find out what she expects to do after leaving K. U. MAY V. WALLACE, A. B. Durango, Colo. Quill Club, Kansan Board. The delight of Cady ' s life and guardian of the fresh- man pharmics. She has managed successfully to have two cases at once, but still she protests that she was never in love. It is said that she has conducted her cases as an experiment, and the results have surely justified her ' heartlessness, for she has made an important discovery — a r al contribution to the science of chem- istry. She has discovered that combination which re- leases gold the quickest — matrimony. HENRY CLAY WATERS, A. B. Galena. Heine. Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Freshman Debating Team ' 06, Sophomore Debate ' 07, Chairman Invi- tation Committee Sophomore, Kansan Board ' 06- ' 07, Editor-in-Chief The Kansan ' 08- ' 09, Athletic Editor Jayhawker ' 09, Scoop Club, Good Govern- ment Club, Philosophical Circle, Y. M. C. A., Pan Hellenic. And other things too numerous to mention. This youthful Demosthenes in the very first class meeting started toward the top of the ladder with a bound. After two years of hard and unrewarded labor for ' 09, he gave up political ambitions in order to go Sig Alph. His high color as a journalist won him a place on The Kansan, and in that field his efforts have created more than one stir. As a newspaper man he is yel- low tc his finger tips. A press agent for Kemp, a wise one of the Scoop Club editors and an all around good fellow are only a few of his accomplishments. For others, see Who ' s Who. EUGENIE STERLING, A. B. Lawrence. Gene. Phi Beta Kappa, Orchestra. Being a professor ' s daughter has not interfered at all with her success in school. The life of an honor student hasn ' t made her a bit stuck up, and the bloom in her cheeks is just as fresh and natural as in the fresh- man days. She has found time to grace the orchestra with her presence and has become a regular gun in Botany. 59 BIRDIE E. PHILLIPS, A. B. Cherokee, Okla. After traveling over four states before deciding to come to Lawrence, Birdie flew into Fraser Hall one bright September morning. She is going back to Okla- homa after she finishes school, where she has a claim staked out on a wild and woolly cowboy of the genuine Pawnee Bill variety. She is very fond of Professor ' Hopkins and follows him around from year to year un- til it is really growing time she graduated. EDWARD R. WEIDLEIN, A. B. Augusta. ' Broad. Sigma Xi. Ed began making I ' s in his first bunch of quizzes and has kept up the pace to the end. He has developed into an all-around Chemistry gun and is known as Cady ' s Man Friday. His boyish smile has won him many friends among the fair sex. He hopes to come back next year and further pursue the pleasant vocation of grading lab notes. BERTHA JUANITA WILLIAMS, A. B. Lawrence. Bert. Quill Club, Y. W. C. A., Princess Ida, Chum of Nelle Everett ' s. Bertha lived so far away from the Hill that she was in danger of being deserted by the boys until she hit upon the brilliant expedient of feeding the brutes after they took her home from the Fine Arts concerts at night, and now they fight for the chance. Has a most provoking way of wriggling her nose, and usually wears a veil to ward off the chaps. She will probably be the first to desert the Spinster Asylum as she thinks cats are crazy, and prefers the bachelors. WARD H. COOK, A. B. Kansas City, Mo. Sigma Xi, Masque Club, Y. M. C. A., Senior Play, Morning Exercise Committee. Just what kind of Morning Exercises War ' d in- dulges in, he failed to say. No doubt he meant that he would do something on Class Day. His theatrical tendencies have not stopped him from doing excellent work in school, for which he has been duly rewarded. A common sense fellow, handicapped only in place of residence — Missouri. 60 LUCY WRIGHT, A. B. Lawrence. Kappa Kappa Gamma, Freshman Spread Com- mittee, Sophomore Committee, Junior Prom Committee, Senior Girls ' S. G. C, Quill Club, Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, Annual Board, Class Prophet. Lucy is the most truly grown-up girl (of course with- out being old) in the class. No ideals of a caicer can ever lure her from the home life which she seems especially to prefer. It seems almost useless to mention her case, if such it may be called, for it has long ceased to be a matter of conversation and has entered the realm of the matter of course. HUBERT DE TINSLEY STEEPER, A. B. Lawrence. Steep. Annual Board, Junior Prom Committee, Y. M. C. A., Snow Literary. Here is one of our Really live hustlers. Steep takes a step of about four feet and hits them off at the rate of 100 per minute, of course, except when he ' s with her. Nobody can tell how he managed to run a panta- torium and belong to Snow Literary at the same time, but he has stood up under the strain very well. His specialty is History and Economics, and he intends to become a school-marm, if he lives to be an old bache- lor (which he won ' t). NELLIE M. EVERETT, A. B. Fort Scott. Nell, Baby, Cyclone. Annual Board. Nellie came from the same town as Manager Lans- don, arid is proud of the fact that she doesn ' t have those grasping tendencies that make people unpopu- lar. She is the authority on cases, but whether her knowledge is drawn from observation or experience she refuses to say. It is probable that she and Bertha and Xathryne will found an asylum for spinster maidens with the money they make teaching school; but Nell insists that they will have an annex for bachelors and cats. G. DALLAS HANNA, A. B. Kansas City. He hands in the following: Turned fish and swam the Gulf of Mexico while catching sharks for the zoology department. However that may be, he has been work- ing a shell game on the University for some time, having classified more than 57 unknown varieties. He will probably be a fossil-hunter for a while and then gradually become a fossil himself. He doesn ' t have the symptoms yet, however. 61 CLAUD ALFRED CLAY, A. B. Nickerson. Ten Lung. Allemania, Kansan Board ' 06- ' 08, Managing Editor Kansan ' 08, Sophomore Committee, Y. M. C. A., Scoop Club, Jayhawker Board, Senior Class Day Committee, Class Historian, Librarj Force ' 06- ' 08. Claudie came to K. U. from the Land of Nod, but woke up as soon as he hit the Hill. He was a real Freshman, of the kind that doesn ' t know how green it is and with a large bump of I ' m it behind its left ear. His education has consisted largely in eliminating the bump (there ' s just the right amount left) and changing the green color to a rich yellow (Claudie is to be a journalist.) He was one of the moving elements in the famous Journal Scoop Club expose of last year, though we would hesitate to say how he got his information. MABEL EGGLESTON, A. B. Kansas City, Mo. Phi Beta Kappa, A. C. A. Scholarship four years, Allemania, Y. W. C. A. Mabel entered school as an honor student and simply had to keep up her recofd. She took in Phi Beta Kappa along the way and learned everything there is to know about Latin. Her favorite pastime is showing the back ward ones how Caesar built his bridge. Her future pro- fession will be teaching. It is said that she prefers tutoring only one person. D. C. KEMP, Lawrence. District of Columbia. Glee Club ' 05- ' 08, Freshman Lacrosse Team, Pirates of Penzance, Spring Regatta ' 08, Princess Ida, Canoe Club. Otherwise called Delbert. He is papa ' s nice little boy, as any of the girls to whom his good qualities have been recommended, could tell you. He is a boy of few but hard cases, and none of these came during his Senior year. He claims to belong to the P. S. B. and no one disputes his claim, not even his father. He has developed a fondness for H 2 in these later days that may result fatally, (for the H 2 G). THOMAS G NEVENS, A. B. Garnett. Tommie is our Little Sunshine. His happy smile and sunny disposition have been developed to their high- est denominator by a multiplicity of courses under Cone and Boynton. Whenever we want a merry jest to chase away the shadows from the sun, we send for Nevens and again our hearts are aglow with the innocent joys of childhood. 62 MYRTLE ADA BROBST, A. B. Osborne. Y. W. C. A, Secretary Quill Club ' 08, Quill Board ' 09. Absence makes thg heart grow fonder. When Bill left last year, we all wondered how Myrtle would sur- vive the shock ; but she seems to have lived through the agony of separation without mu ch loss of flesh or sleep, and so we predict a happy future some day. This is another of the ladies who does not talk much ; but we know she thinks of an absent member of last year ' s track team every day when she looks on the famous calendar that got into the Annual last year. But when Myrtle does say anything, she means it; and when she puts her foot down, a team of mules couldn ' t budge her. She has always been one of the leaders in Quill Club and has a brilliant future before her, whether her field lies in fiction or housekeeping. JOSEPH ISRAEL KNOTT, A. B. Lawrence. Here is another one of our 1 ex-school teachers, who has been going to school a little on the side. He never disturbs anyone. His peaceable nature beams out of him on every side and even his hat, a Merry Widow, on the Quaker style, helps to emphasize this feature of his personality. ELIZABETH APEL, A. B. Marion. Elizabeth studied seven years in Metz, Alsace-Lorraine, Germany, and one yeaf in Paris before crossing the pond in search of an up-to-date school. She sniffed her nose at eastern institutions and came to Kansas to finish her education. She wears the most famous hat at K. U. Around the crown that shows the effect ol rude sea breezes and gay zephyrs of Mount Oread, is this inscription: Norddeutscher Lloyd. D. Friedrich der Grosse. She has the gift of tongues but not of gal), and tells in seven languages how vividly she hates the men. BLANCHE LOOMIS, A. B. Fredonia. Lummie. Chi Omega. Generally known as The Lady in Brown. She is one of Prof. Bassett ' s most ardent disciples, in fact, his only. Could have gotten a good job this spring, but refused to leave the ranks of 1909. She is the in- separable chum of Maybeth and has tried in vain to stop the suffragette tendencies of her companion. With her quiet dignity, and her ability as a student, she is a decided credit to the class. 63 VIOLA SHEFLER, A. B. Lin wood. Quill Club, Y. W. C. A. Viola is one of the girls that everybody likes because she can talk nonsense without foolishness, and philosophy without pretension. She never talks without saying something, and she writes even better than she talks. Some day the Century and Atlantic will be featur- ing her short stories on the front page, and we can all say with pride, Why, I used to go to school with her, away out West in Kansas. Viola says she is particu- larly interested in K. U. incidents and that she has been gathering valuable experience for the last four years of her life. She is the fourth member of the Williams- Wilson-Everett trio, and is a great believer in Ouija Hoards. FRED M. THOMPSON, A. B. Herington. Acacia, ' Varsity Track ' 09, Class Lacrosse ' 05- ' 06. Thompson is on the inside track with all the faculty members., as he has delivered all their private notes, and they have to treat him right. He knows just how much each gets for a salary and just what ones are garnisheed three months ahead by the groceryman and dry goods merchants. And so Fred pursues the even tenor of his way, and no one says him nay. JESSIE BALDRIDGE, A. B. La Junta, Colo. Kappa Alpha Theta, Sophomore Prom Com- mittee, Junior Prom Committee, Junior Farce, President of College Equal Suffrage League, Senior Play. Susan B. the Second, princess of the Suffragettes and yet has as many friends among the boys as the next one. Last year it was feared that she would join the army but we notice this year that she has laid her arms by and joined the Suffragettes instead. She would have voted for Carruth in the spring election if she hadn ' t forgot to register. Colorado had an evil effect upon her. FRANK E. TYLER, A. B. Clifton. Bud. Alpha Tau Omega, Kansas-Missouri Debate ' 05, ' 08; Chairman of Cap and 1 Gown Committee. Bud is about the only person in the class who has come out successfully on top, and in this respect he is a close second to Dean Skilton, the only difference being that Bud ' s is not cut so low in the back. However, as he is only a Bud, one can easily predict that the full bloom will equal the best. He wears his feet a la pigeon. 64 ■fe MYRA GERTRUDE ESON. A. B. Kingman. Chi Omega, Quill Club, Senior Play. Myra comes from the town where they have the Cattleman ' s Convention. She isn ' t on speaking tefms with Lucile Mulhall, the champion woman lariatist of the world, but she ropes them in just the same. She has black hair and eyes and generally wears red. You can tell her by her smile if that isn ' t enough description. It isn ' t safe to predict what she will do after she grad- uates, for you never can tell much about a girl with such eyes. It is too bad there aren ' t more like her. EDWARD NEWTON RENO, A. B. Lawrence. Reno finished up his work and secured his degree last term, and is at present principal of the Everest high school. He will go to the Philippines soon as Student Volunteer from the Methodist Episcopal Church. ZELLA MITCHELL. Wellington. Secretary Sophomore Class, Sophomore Prom Committee, Junior Prom Committee, Y. W. C. A., Girls ' Self-Government Committee. One of the Old Guard and a great politician in her day. Zella is said to be fond of newspaper men who come out on top ; that is to say with a medium-sized bald spot. The class was surely sorry to see her leave before her time. That she is one of the solid girls may be seen from the fact that she was on the Girls Self-Government Club, but it is a noteworthy fact that she didn ' t acquire that honor until Cap graduated. CLARENCE M. SHELDON, A. B. Ottawa. Sigma Chi. Not the author of In His Steps. Shelley finished at the close of last term and has been resting easy about quizzes and degrees since then. He worked hard in school trying not to. His greatest fault was eating peanuts in the Eighteenth Century Lit. Class. 65 WARD H. COBLE. Kansas City, Mo. Phi Kappa Psi, Masque Club. Pay to the Order of Phi Kappa Psi Twenty three cents $23-100 — for the use of one Pin Head Coble for the period of one year. Services as howling mob and scenery in the Masque Club Grand Opera productions included. D. McKNIGHT. Endorsed: Pay to Lawrence Produce Co. Phi Kappa Vs . EARL H. ALLEN, A. B. Emporia. Beta Theta Pi. From the town that made Bill Allen W. famous. Life in Our Town shows its effect on Allen. All the people who come from Emporia must be noted tor some- thing. Earl has won distinction as one of those fine looking fellows who know the proper thing and do it all the time. He can be seen every morning during chapel time near the check stand talking eagerly to his best girl — Fred Hesser. OSCAR C. HULL, A. B. POTWIN. Republican Club Speaker at the Kansas Day Banquet. Behold the future Republican Boss of Kansas. Hull is training himself up to be a politician. After getting an education, he is going to take Law as a finishing course. In later years, his initials will probably become more frequently, Oh, See Hull, than O. C. Hull. 66 OCTAVIA CORNELIA LONG, A. B. Hot Springs, Ark. A hard working student, always striving for the best grade in her class. FRANCES ELIZABETH GRAY, A. B. Lawrence. She does her work thoroughly and conscientiously. 67 __ FRANK OLIN MARVIN, A. B., A. M. Dean of the School of Engineering and Professor of Civil Engineering ■ Stye jEtupnma — ' 09 The School of Engineering may be compared, without any excessive use of the imagination, to one large family. From Father Marvin down to the kids, the freshmen, and including all the Uncles, all are filled with that mutual affection that is bound to come from close associations. Occasionally, of course, some of the boys are bad and have to be pun- ished, or they resent something that Uncle So-and-So does or says, and then Papa has his hands full. Sometimes, too, one of the younger members wanders up into his older brothers ' retreat and is promptly seized and spanked; but, as with true brothers, the wounds soon heal. We engineers are justly proud of our school, enrolling as it does more men than any other school in the University. We number among our ranks, honor men by the score it: scholarship, athletics, and all other activities, while every one of us has the welfare of the institution at heart and all are good fellows. We seniors are especially well content- ed with our lot. Take old Don, for instance. Don just can ' t get enough of it. And Pully, Dutch, Red Burt, Ray, Zeek, Bill Wilder and Sam, too. And several of us will be back next year, too, to get a crack at that new building. The fact that we won ' t get to use it ourselves nearly breaks our hearts, for it is certainly a beauty. Imagine how the senior civils will enjoy it. At the most, they won ' t have to climb more than two flights of stairs, and think what a relief it will be not to have to brush fallen plaster off drawings each day. And won ' t the miners enjoy having real rooms to work in, and won ' t the juniors and sophomores revel among the individual desks? The freshmen? Why, it will simply be heaven for them! But still, we make the most of the honor we have in being the last class to occupy the old quarters. Had we been in the new, it would have kept Tom Veatch, Bill Perry, Charley Lusk and a few more, worn down to skeletons through chasing back and forth at chapel time. And we wouldn ' t feel at all at home without the smell from the Medic Build- ing, intermingled with that from the Faculty Teas, being gently wafted up to us. We maintain that we work harder and still have a better time than anyone else. Our banquets and smokers are, we insist, the most enjoy- able events of the whole calendar. We don ' t admit that St. Patrick was an engineer (although Three Star Hennessey says he was: all the really great are), but you remember In the beginning, etc.? Surely that was the work of an engineer, and we accordingly celebrate Christmas. To say nothing of what we seniors have done or will do, the graduates of the En- gineering School are famous, and we expect great things of the coming generation with its new building. 70 i WILLIAM J. WILDER, B. S. Salina. Bill. President of Engineers, ' 06, ' 07. They tell us Bill is a married man. He has been so quiet about it that it must be labeled hearsay. Even his habit of saying things in Spanish shows he may be Wilder than we think. We have heard that he is a grouch, but they probably only meant to say that he was having matrimonial troubles. HARRY C. McCLURE, B. S. Cawker City. Mac the First. Sigma Chi, Sigma Xi. Once upon a time there was a guy named Mac, who was pretty and had a nice large pompadour. He wasn ' t going to see all that wasted on the girls of Cawker City, so he came down here. Since that memorable event, he claims to have become acquainted with every girl in school. This said guy was a student too, and even beat Cady out of a credit in chemistry II. Mac ' s long suit is crawling through sewers, and if he doesn ' t get too fat, the sanitary engineers will be greatly strengthened when he is turned loose upon them. Unless Mac is killed by some jealous lover, we expect to point to his picture with pride some day and say, I knew him. LAUREN ARMSBY, B. S. Council Grove. Alpha Tau Omega. Lauren has two points- of resemblance to Apollo — a horse laugh and a tow head. His ability to ask ques- tions that can ' t be answered shows that he was intended for a Greek god. But Lauren is a jolly good fellow ; always has a sunny smile and a pleasant word to go with his laugh. If it wasn ' t for his being a chemical, we would prophesy that he would become a great scientist. C. L. BURT, B. S. Green sburg. Red. Acacia ; Chairman Senior Invitation Commit- tee, ' 08;; P. S. B. ; ' Varsity Football, ' 04, ' 05, ' 08. No one knows what the C. L. stands for, as he has known no cognomen save Red since he came here. No other is necessary. Red has been the political boss of the University for so long that he just couldn ' t stay away this year, but came back to see that every- thing went well. He isn ' t the popular ward-heeler type, though, as he has the interests of the University at heart. Red got tired of studying all the time and en- rolled in several college courses this spring. He will make a fine county surveyor. 71 A WILLIAM F. THIELE, B. S. Hanover. Bill. Student Member A. I. E. E. Bill is a left-over, but he is worthy of the honor 1 of graduating with ' 09. He has been the handy man in Fowler Shops for several years. However, his specialty is liquid air for Cady. It has made Bill like an ice- berg instead of windy. In addition to making liquid air for Cady, he is also quite expert on making hot air for Thiele, having a plant for that purpose whose equal is seldom found. MARTIN ERNEST SKOFSTAD. Lawrence. Ernie. Treasurer Freshman Class, President Sopho- more Class, Junior Prom Manager. Skof is one of our best politicians. He started when a Freshman and continued through his Sophomore and Junior years at this profession. But now that he is a Senior he has quit politics and is a genial, smiling, good friend. Ernie started to be a civil engineer, but as he has found that architecture interests him more than economic construction he will put one more year 1 to his school work and finish right. Skofstad has a good, clear head and is steady. He undoubtedly has a bril- liant career before him. BERT CHARLES FRICHOT, B. S. Leavenworth. French. Sigma Xi. French started to K. U. with the intention of be- coming a civil. Cady found him in his second year ; since then he has been buried in the chemistry building from 8 to 6, Saturday included. He looks and acts like a Bunsen burner, though to all outward appearance he resembles an atom of hydrogen and talks like caustic soda. He was the only true blue scab in the chem- istry II union and has since been black-balled by all chemistry II classes. RICHARD WOODBURY, B. S. Lawrence. Dick. President Senior Miners. Lawrence to the front afgain. Dick is one of those quiet fellows who impress you as knowing the whole business, which, in the end. is just as good as really knowing it. Dick is really a good student, though, and sincere in whatever he does. He had a case last year that attracted considerable attention, but is a confirmed bachelor ' this year. 72 WALTER J. KACKLEY, B. S. Parsons. Buzz. Sigma Xi, Secretary C. E. S., ' 08, President C. E. S., ' 09, Bow Bells Club. Buzz isn ' t to blame for coming from Parsons, and as he has overcome the great handicap, we ' ll forgive him. He is a good combination of grind and practi- cal engineer, with a rather large percentage of good fellow thrown in. Add to this a limitless capacity for raising cain and you have Buzz. He is too busy deriving formulas to do much fussing and consequently has no case (not here anyway). He says he is going to the Philippines this summer, but will make good wherever he goes. W. ED EMMETT, B. S. Lawrence. M ' ut. ' ' Y. M. C. A., Treasurer Senior Class, Junior Prom Committee , C. E. Society , Class Football, ' 07, ' 08. Ed is a good student — always ready with an answer to a difficult question. Though a quiet fellow, he is always in for the fun and generally adds to it. He is somewhat of a fusser but his case is one of the un- assuming sort. No one ever 1 roasted M ' ut about this matter. Besides being a good student, Ed is a good athlete and has played some good football. He is also handy with the boxing gloves, having many a knockout to his credit. M ' ut is steady and will make good in his profession. ARTHUR J. GROESBECK, B. S. Blue Rapids. Acacia. Art finished up at the end of the fall term and is now busily engaged in transforming his wisdom into big round dollars. He was quiet and studious while he was here, but was fond of a good time and was always in on jokes. HOMER HUNTER, B. S. Lawrence. Pa. Y. M. C. A., C. E. Society. Pa is a jovial good-natured fellow who started to be an engineer two years before the rest of us. But he has absented himself two years and consequently is honoring this year ' s graduating class with his presence. Pa ' s usual remafk is I can ' t and when asked why, he remarks, because I ' m married now. Pa is a good, steady fellow and will make a good engineer. 73 JOHN C. EVANS, B. S. Lawrence. Ivans. M. E. Society. Johnnie is one of the two mechanical engineers this year. He got through school by borrowing erasers, pen- cils, paper and other things. Th ere is a report that he borrowed his grade in chemistry II. We can ' t verify this, though it seems highly probable. RAY TRIPP, B. S. Herington. Hoo-ray ! Acacia, Vice-President Senior Class, ' 07, Jun- ior Prom Committee, ' 06, Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, ' 06, ' 08, P. S. B. Ray says this is positively his last Tripp. We con- gratulate him, however, on his good judgment in choos- ing ' 09 as his guardian angel, and are glad to see his face again among the Seniors. Ray doesn ' t assume any airs of superiority, though, and is a good fellow all around. So far as is known to the general public, he hasn ' t a case, which, considering the length of time he has been around here, is truly wonderful. LLOYD L. STANLEY, B. S. Lawrence. Stan. Y. M. C. A. , Chairman Executive Committee Senior Miners. Although a grandson of Prof. Miller ' s, Lloyd hasn ' t any great longing for mathematics. Still, he ha s suc- ceeded in passing through the mining engineering course and will be right on the job when the sheepskins are dealt out next June. They say he is quite a fussef, but you would never guess it from his quiet demeanor. If he isn ' t killed in a mine explosion he should live happily ever after. GEORGE M MARCH, B. S. Lawrence. Phi Kappa Psi, A. B. ' 08, Jayhawker Board, Quill Club, President Pan Hellenic Association, P. S. B., Bow Bells, Golf Club. Rareback is known generally by his broad smile and genial way. Where there is a joke, being perpe- trated among the Senior civils, there is Rareback. . But underlying all the smile and all the genial joking way there is a serious side and a hard-working side to Rareback. This quality it was which achieved his graduation from the college last year, will achieve his graduation from the engineering school this year, and makes certain the fact that a brilliant future awaits him. He holds the record in chalk-throwing. (Note — For advertising rates see manager.) 74 WALTER E. EDMONDS B. S. Lawrence. Twinny. There are two of him, and, although he has been here four years, you can ' t tell him apart, yet. He and his brother both have cases, so they are very seldom seen together long enough to really get a good look at them. Whether he has ever answered for his brother or received a I for one of his brother ' s answers, no one can say, but we take it for granted. As a student he is a conscientious worker ' , quiet and unassuming and will make a good engineer. CHARLES W. LUSK, B. S. Galena. C. W. Sigma Xi, Jayhawker Board, Vice-President Junior Class, Junior Farce Committee, Junior Farce, C. E. S. , Orchestra, ' 07. No, he isn ' t married. Why do you ask? Charley has grown thin carrying around all his wisdom. He has made a brilliant record as a student, a fusser, a musi- cian and a good fellow, and, if he builds bridges in prac- tice as he does in theory, will undoubtedly make his mark. Although C. W. ' s mind is usually among Elysian fields above the rest of us, he can come down and wallop a Freshman with as great gusto as anyone. He is quiet but you generally know when he is around. CARL M. BALL, B. S. Iola. Slim. Sigma Xi , President Engineers, ' 08, Class Foot- ball, ' 08. Slim started in K. U. head and shoulders above the rest of us and has kept the ball rolling ever since. His thesis subject is, Differentiating a stomachache and a backache in ' slim ' people. He claims to have a smaller l r 1 than Buzz, but it is a disputed point. He is Johnny-on-the-spot when it comes to mining engineering, though, and will make a good one. RALPH HOWELL BERGEN, B. S. Wichita. Bercie. Basket Ball Team, ' 05, ' 06, ' 07, ' 08, Track Team, 08, ' 09, Junior Prom Committee, Class Football Team, ' 07, ' 08. Looking at Bergie ' s honor list one would think he was an athlete, but we know he is a chemical — that means chemistry II — which means bug. Between his athletics and chemistry Bergie has worked up a couple of cases in the last two years ; one of them looked promising- — we don ' t mean the girl. 75 FRED BALOCCA, B. S. Osage City. Blocka. Y. M. C. A., Class Baseball, ' 07, A. I. E. E. Block is one of the fellows who minds his own business and doesn ' t care who knows it. In spite of a rather queer name, which he never spells the same way twice himself, he 1 as come through his course with colors still flying, but badly shot up. LEONARD W. PULLIAM, B. S. Lyons. Pully. Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Xi, Junior Prom Com- mittee, Junior Farce ' 07, Senior Play ' 09. As Pully stayed out of school last year in order to graduate with a good class, we are not well acquainted with his disaffections. He has a meek look on every subject but Steinmetz. His knowledge of this text has sayed the Senior electricals many hours of anxious worry. Pully has a rather serious mien, but don ' t let that deceive you, for he is as jolly a good fellow as ever slid a slide-rule. ALBIN J. HOUGHTON, B. S. Cottonwood Falls. ' Varsity Football ' 08, Class Football ' 07. A. I. E. E. ' A. J. Iloton holds the Record among the Senior electricals for long-winded argument. His demonstra- tion of the fact that any obtuse angle equals a right angle, and its corollary, that two cats equal a tadpole, is now being printed for distribution among the savage tribes. His athletic record is on a par with his intel- lectual, and his end runs have made him quite famous. HARRY H. McCULLEY, B. S. Clay Center. Mac the Fourth. Y. M. C. A. , Chairman Senior Invitation Com- mittee. Here is another member of the Senior Civils ' Mac Club. He holds the world ' s fecord for long distance chestnut story telling, and is blessed (?) with a tenor voice. Mac has a great thirst for wisdom and shows it. He astonished his professor with his brightness one day by asking if man-holes were ever connected with sewers (applause from gallery). Mac has succeeded pretty well, considering that he came from Clay Center, and we wish him luck. 76 WARREN O. EDMONDS, B. S. Lawrence. Twinny. There are two of him and, although he has been here four years, you can ' t tell him apart, yet. He and his brother both have cases, so they are very seldom seen together long enough to re ally get a good look at them. Whether he has ever answered for his brother or re- ceived a I for one of his brother ' s answer ' s, no one can say, but we take it for granted. As a student he is a conscientious worker, quiet and unassuming and will make a good engineer. HARRY J. TAYLOR, B. S. Larned. Phi Delta Theta, Class Baseball, ' OS, ' 06, Pres- ident Engineers, ' 09. Harry is also a member of Phi Beta Kappa (indi- rectly). As he was out of school a term he won ' t be on the platform with us in June, but he is a ' 09-er at heart just the same. Harry might have made a great baseball star, but his mind early turned to domes- ticity and, once in a while, to engineering. Harry works hard at whatever ' he does and is sure to come out on top in the end. CURTIS J. McCOY, B. S. Hiawatha. Mac the Second. Phi Delta Theta, Track Team, ' 06, ' 07, ' 08, C. E. S. Mac has the Annual habit, but says this is to be his last offense. ' Mac says the reason he isn ' t running (races) this year is because he is too busy building bridges and sewers. (Look at his picture and we will pardon you for laughing.) They said of him last year that he never ran to get to class and, judging from the way he slips in about ten minutes late, we think this must be so. He has learned a lot since he has been here, though, and we wish him luck. GEORGE H. AHLBORN, B. S. Smith Center. Dutch. Sigma Chi, President of University Y. M. C. A. ' 06, ' 07, Captain Freshman Football Team and Freshman Baseball Team ' 05, ' 06, Varsity Football ' 05, ' 06, Senior Play Committee ' 07, Fellow in Physics. Dutch was kind enough to stay out of school a year and allow his long list of honors to grace the ' 09 Annual He is a hustlef with a jolly good laugh and should have specialized in chemistry, for we fear that his rest- lessness will disturb the dignified siumber of the physics department. 11 J. CARL DASSLER, B. S. Leavenworth. Das. Carl is a 50 per cent solution of student, dissolved in good fellow, with a high concentration. It ' s prob- ably just as well for 1 him that he is a good student, for he and his kodak have been so much in evidence of late among the faculty that he might otherwise come to grief when the grades are handed in. We don ' t know what he intends to do after graduation, but it doesn ' t make much difference since you can ' t keep a good man down. JAMES OSCAR SKOFSTAD, B. S. Lawrence. C. E. S, Mandolin Club. He is noted as a member of the Mandolin Club dur- ing the infancy of the organization. He wept bitter tears when he heard of the demise of that once lively bunch of stringed instrument manipulators. He is the brother ' of Ernest; what more can be said? ROY LISTON, B. S. Alt a mont. A. I. E. E. Roy is one of those very quiet boys with a laugh like a humming bird. We are not certain of his politics but he looks like a Socialist, for he wears the green on St. Patrick ' s day and has erratic social tendencies. His only dissipation is the nickel show. RAY JONES, B. S. Leavenworth. President of K. U. Branch of A. I. E. E. The Senior electricals are proud that they have one real genuine gun guaranteed under the pure foods and drugs act. Ray started out as a Freshman to make E. X., and has been bugging ever 1 since — that is, till he met his affinity. He even yet shows gunny pro- clivities at odd intervals but they are now along the line of how to get rich quick. We heard he was Prof. McCollom ' s pet. Now that sounds childish. 78 HOWARD W. HOUGHTON, B. S. Beloit. A. B., ' 07. Howard can ' t seem to get enough learning. His six years in the learned halls of Alma Mater rest heavily upon his shoulders and he has gfown thin through bear- ing the burden. One of the girls called him a meek little fellow, but that doesn ' t worry Howard, as he is too busy building bridges. He has no bad habits, and never cut a class except Sunny ' s. HENRY L. NIXON, B. S. Kansas City, Mo. Nick. Phi Delta Theta , Engineers ' Banquet Committee. He ' s little, but oh 1 my ! He was a good student, but the Lawrence girls proved too much of an attraction and he fell a victim early in the game. It got so bad that he finally got a horse and buggy so as not to wear out too much shoe leather walking down to the river (almost) and back. She lives in Lawrence, you know, so he may be back again next year. WILLIAM C. PERRY, B. S. Kansas City, Mo. Bill. Phi Delta Theta, P. S. B. Bill is a fellow who never 1 worries about anything. He has never been seen without that Williams Walker expression, even wearing it when Pryor is in town. Bill is one most awful fusser, but he can study, too, if there is no way of getting out of it. The only reason we can assign to his taking up mining en- gineering is that he wanted to see where the gold bricks come from, because he is altogether too long and slim to ever think of standing up in a mine. HOWARD R. FARNSWORTH, B. S. Atchison. Buster. Alpha Tau Omega , Band, ' 04, ' 05 , Orchestra, ' 05, ' 07 , German Play, ' 05 , Kansan Board, ' 05- ' 07, Chairman Junior Music Committee, Prin- cess Ida, ' Varsity Tennis Team, ' 09. Farnsworth is a P. S. B., but a legitimate one. as he was out of school for a year. He is quite a musician, as his record shows, and will probably invent a hollow tripod-leg which can be used as a trombone to while away the lonesome hours he will spend in the U. S. Forestry Service. He has a cheerful disposition, which should win him a home wherever he goes. He is a good student, too, and way back in the dim past is said to have made a I in Chemistry II. 79 WILLIAM T. McGEORGE, B. S. Argentine. Mac. Band, Orchestra, Mandolin Club. Mac is a great musician, in addition to being an AT engineer. We don ' t know what the various musical organizations will do without him next year, but we do know that the profession of electrical engineering will be very much better off when Mac is turned loose upon the world this spring. C. P. DONALD, B. S. La Harpe. Don, Cap I (on 5th Floor). Y. M. C. A. Cabinet, Athletic Board, Chair- man Football Committee , Football, ' 03, ' 04, ' 05 , Captain Football Team, ' 06. Don is one of those rare individuals who can wiggle their ears to perfection. This is his only joke, but he works it often. K. U. students will always remember Don as a great football player, for many are the times when he has torn big holes through the opposing line and carried the ball for lengthy gains. Left tackle is Don ' s position and a better man for the place has never been found at K. U. Don is a good student, although he is a P. S. B., and will make a good engineer. SAM AINSWORTH, B. S. Lyons. Roomo. Phi Kappa Psi. Hailing as he does from Lyons, he is familiarly known as the Salt Octopus. His quiet demeanor covers a multitude of activities. When he gets on his hooray clothes he makes a big hit with the girls and has worn quite a path across the park. Sam has the distinction of being in the race with one of the faculty eligibles(?), but he says he isn ' t worried. He has at- tended class semi-occasionally, too. ROBERT E. ORR, B. S. Winfield. Bobbie. Bobbie ' s smiling face and cheerful disposition were be- queathed to us by ' 08. We were mighty glad to get him and have done the best we could. His quiet ways have kept him studying most of the time, but he has made his presence felt, nevertheless. 80 _ CARL A. PLEASANT, B. S. Lyndon. Pleas, Cap III (on 5th Floor). President Senior Class , Treasurer Junior Class , Treasurer Sophomore Class, President Engineers, ' 07 , Freshman Foothall , Varsity Football, ' 06, ' 08, Captain V arsity Football Team, ' 09, Treas- urer C. E. S., ' 08, ' 09, Athletic Board, ' 08, ' 09. What a record! Still, Pleas isn ' t a bit conceited and is well liked by students and faculty. Carl is a man to be depended upon in any emergency. He can be trusted implicitly with funds, football, or secrets, and, although very quiet and unassuming, he always gets whatever he goes after. He graduates this spring, but will return next year to captain another ever-victorious team and do post-graduate work in civil engineering. CECIL A. FORTER, B. S. Marysville. Zeke. Manager Junior Prom, ' 07, Chairman Senior Play Committee, ' 08, Class Baseball, ' 06, ' 07, Class Basket Ball, ' 05, Class Football, ' 07, ' 08, Senior Play, ' 08, P. S. B. , Bow Bells Club Zeke wasn ' t satisfied with the class of ' 08, so he came back this year to take down his B. S. with us. For knocks, etc... we refer you to the ' 08 Jayhawker. He was handicapped by having an il lustrious brother, but apparently it hasn ' t bothered Zeke any. As he doesn ' t worry very much about anything, he ought to make good in the profession. HARRY HI JOHNTZ, B. S. Abilene. Harry came to us highly recommended by the class of ' 08. We accepted the challenge and are satisfied with the result. Although he claims to know more than is in the books, he will get over that all right and make a first rate engineer in time. Harry can ' t see why one end of a bridge is made smaller than the other. (Read up on perspective and you ' ll see the point.) GEORGE A. McCUNE, B. S. Leavenworth. Mac the Third. Varsity Basket Ball, ' 07, ' 08, ' 09, Captain, ' 08, Athletic Board, ' 08, ' 09. Mac is the popular idol in the basket ball line. His success at shooting baskets is undoubtedly due to his familiarity with the trigonometric functions. He must have some sort of slide-rule method, as he wastes no time a bout it. He isn ' t much of a ladies ' man as he is too busy with Merriman and Jacoby. He will make an Al engineer. • 81 T TOM VEATCH, B. S. Atchison. The Man With No Bad Habits. Beta Theta Pi, Manager Senior Play, Class Football and Baseball , President Civil Engineers ' Society, Fall, ' 08, Secretary and Treasurer Civil Engineers ' Society, Spring, ' 08, Treasurer Y. M. C. A. ' 08, ' 09, Junior Prom Manager, Y. M. C A. Cabinet ' 07, ' 08, Sophomore Prom Commit- tee , Captain Freshman Football Team. Tom, as a politician, knows no equal, but his propen- sities along that line are honest ones and not the usual kind. He has made good in spite of the fact that he comes from Atchison, but he probably couldn ' t help that. Tom and Pleas, side kickers, will be heard from yet in the engineering world, and we ' ll be glad to say, They were classmates of mine. Tom is perhaps more widely known as the possessor of one of the fierc- est cases on the Hill. In fact, his class in Textile engineering absorbs by far the greater part of his time. He is always happy, has a pleasant word for everyone and used to attend classes before he learned better. CYRUS W. MORROW, B. S. Blue Rapids. Cy. Y. M. C. A., Engineers ' Banquet Committee, C. E. S., Bow Bells Club. Cy is another heirloom left by the deceased ' 08-ers, and we thank them for it. Cy is always in for a good time and a joke, providing it isn ' t on Cy, but can study too, when it is absolutely neces- sary. He, by the way, possesses one large-sized case, to which he devotes all his spare time when he isn ' t dreaming of the Philippines, where he says he is going after commencement. T. E. BLISS, B. S. Oskaloosa. Ted. Y. M. C. A. Ted is quite a student and narrowly escaped making Sigma Xi. He works in blissful quiet and spends all his spare time writing letters to Hiawatha. They say he has proven every formula in Merriman and dreams in terms of sines and cosines, so we have no fear for his fortune. Oh, joy! Oh, bliss! FRANK W. GLAZE, B. S. Lyons. Little Egypt. Frank is another perfectly good student. As a sani- tary engineer and a protege of Prof. Hoad, we predict a successful career for him. Frank is full of fun, too, and wields one of the heaviest paddles on the fifth floor. One would never suspect it, but they say he is a regular lion with the ladies sometimes, even taking them in pairs. He hails from the salt district but it doesn ' t seem to have affected his disposition. 82 CHARLES R. FISHER, B. S Pittsburg. Fish. Beta Theta Pi , Pirates of Penzance, Patience, Princess Ida , Junior Farce Committee, ' 07 , Class Baseball, ' 06- ' 09, Class Football, ' 09, Glee Club, ' 06, ' 07, Junior Farce, ' 08, Pope of Bow Bells Club. As an understudy of Caruso, Fish makes a big hit, as the above record shows. As an athlete, he also dis- tinguished himself when he made a touchdown which scored five points for the opposite team. He has prob- ably killed more ducks, geese, etc., than any other per- son in the University. Fish has had several cases but none have proven serious, although he says he has a girl down South somewhere. He says he will grad- uate in June if the hunting isn ' t too good. • BEN HENNESSY, B. S. Fulton. Three-Star. Varsity Football, ' 07, ' 08, Captain Junior Foot- ball Team , Junior Prom Committee , Allemania, Bow Bells Club. Ach, du Lieber, sure he iss ein Irishman. Ben says he thinks the Kansas engineers should emulate Missouri and celebrate St. Patrick ' s day. Fulton is pretty close to Fort Scott, but Ben is a good fellow in spite of it and the Senior civils are proud of him. Ben has been a hero since the Nebraska game, when he busted the peek-a-boo of the enemy. He has come to know several of the professors through occasional visits to his classes. CLYDE HORTON, B. S. Sterling. Horton would have left last spring had he not seen ' 09 coming along. He was unable to resist the tempta- tion, and here he is. When it comes to the science of juice and pull, Clyde is right there with the goods, and will undoubtedly be a rival of Edison in the next few years. 83 HARRY S. COLEMAN, B. S. Garnett. Poss. Sigma Xi, President Mechanical Engineering Society. Although a mechanical engineer, Coleman is a pretty good fellow. He and Weidlein make a good pair to draw to. Po ss is not a grind, but a good, thorough student from whom we expect great things. He says he has always been too busy studying to go out fuss- ing much, but you can never tell about these quiet fellows. PAUL R. PARMELEE, B. S. TOPEKA. Sigma Xi, Custodian of Chemical Stores. Paul is a right good fellow for a chemical; in fact, one would hardly take him for a member of that tribe by sight. By dint of hard work he has succeeded in becoming one of Cady ' s satellites. We hope he will pull a fellowship and come back next year. 84 JAMES WOODS GREEN, A. B., A. M. Dean of the School of Law and Professor of Law m • 5E1}£ IGahi rlfnnl From 1866, when the University first opened, until professional courses were installed on the hill, the law course was of a preparatory nature. In 1878 it was made an optional to be carried along with colle- giate work, and Judge J. W. Green was secured to act as its head. This system proved impractical, and through the efforts of Dean Green the law was made a distinctly professional course in 1879. The first classes were held in a little room of North College and later were moved to Fraser Hall, where they were switched around to suit the convenience of anyone who might desire a change. For this reason the students were handi- capped and the advancement of the work very slow. Dean Green worked for years to procure a home for the Law School, and in 1906 the finest building on the campus was erected to house the future barristers of the Middle West. Its dedication was made with great ceremony, and the name of our beloved dean was given to the building. There are nearly 250 students now, and each year young men are going out into Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and other states, making a success from the beginning as a result of the high standard of the law faculty. The school is especially advanced in its fine system of moot court work and the combination of text and case study. It is need- less to narrate the worth of Uncle Jimmy, whose loyalty and love have held the students together from year to year, and whose integrity has given to the school all that it has today. Dr. W. L. Burdick, the brightest man on the hill, has done and is doing much to raise the standard of both the work and the students. To Prof. Higgins can be given the credit of developing and perfecting the moot court work, which has become such a great factor in the success of the Law School. Prof. Humble is new this year and is doing much to advance his courses. Today finds the Law School of Kansas University the best in the Missouri Valley, and an institution which deserves the admiration and support of the LTniversity in general, as well as of the people of Kansas. 87 , FRANK E. PARKER, LL. B. Kansas City, Mo. Park. Sigma Chi, Track Team ' 05- ' 08, Captain ' 07, University High Jump Record ' 08, 5 feet 10 inches , Manager Senior Play ' 08, Cheer Leader ' 06- ' 08, Good Government Club, President Y. M. C. A. ' 08- ' 09, Financial and Membership Commit- tees of Y. M. C. A. Park has tried to do what is wright since he has been at K. U., and it is rumored that he has done it. ROBERT H. WORLINE, LL. B. Peabody. Bob. Phi Delta Phi, Business Manager of Kansan, Athletic Board, Debating Council. After an unsuccessful married life of three years, r?ob decided that the key to his future happiness was a University course. He has quite recovered from that horrible experience and the world is looking brighter to him every day. (This is Peabody gossip.) RICHARD L. DOUGLAS, LL. B. Crestline. Doug. Sigma Chi, Phi Delta Phi, Masque Club, Good Government Club, Kansas-Missouri Debate ' 05, Editor Kansan ' 06- ' 07, President Junior Class ' 07, Senior Play Committee, Inter-Fraternity De- bate ' 08, Lawyer Board, Glee Club. Doug ' s record above tells the story of his University career. There is one thing not mentioned there, how- ever, and that concerns only himself and another. LOREN BOYD, LL. B. Larned. Percy. Phi Delta Phi, Cooley Club. Since Percy came to the University he has tried to live up to his town ' s name, that it can be said that he is truly larned. i 88 im ■ IRWIN H. STEARNS, LL. B. COLWICH. Phi Delta Phi. His chief art is that of twirling his pencil in class. As a student he ranks among the first, and his future work will be that of discovering the exact location of Colwich. CHRIS C. MERILLAT, LL. B. La Fontaine. Merry. Phi Delta Phi, Kansas-Oklahoma Debating Team ' 08- ' 09, Freshman Football, Good Govern- ment Club, Secretary Junior Law Class, Presi- dent Debating Council, President X. Y. Z„ Cooley Club. Merry is the pride of La Fontaine. When he visits his city the natives meet him with spangles and 1 elles. J. WINFIELD SCOTT, LL. B. Lawrence. Winnie Dear. ' ' Mandolin Club ' 06- ' 09, French Play ' 06, Vice- President Middle Laws ' 08, President Senior Laws ' 09. Since the time that Heck was a pup Win has been a student in this institution, but this is the first time his name was ever before the Board of Regents for 1 a de- gree. The only blot on his record is his long connection with the Mandolin Club, and incidentally with Heim Goldman. WILLIAM J. BURKE, LL. B. Rosedale. Jimmy. Jimmy is the boss politician of Rosedale and Presi- dent of the Union of United Labor. He cannot vote for some time yet, but swears that when he he does it will be for Bryan. He is somewhat of a ladies ' man and as a good fellow he can ' t be beat. 89 THOMAS R. GOWENLOCK, LL. B. Clay Center. Tom. . Beta Theta Pi, Vice-President Athenian Sen- ate ' 08- ' 09, Cooley Club, Kansas-Iowa Debate ' 07, Freshman-Sophomore Debate, Inter-Frat Debate ' 08, Freshman Baseball, Law Editor Jawhawker Board, Senior Play, Manager Law Scrimmage, Philosophic Circle. A man whose friends have given him what standing he has in the law school. — J. W. Green. His friends have helped him to maintain his attendance. In other ways he stands without help. The law school model for tailoring, haberdashery and artistic explanations.- HORTON F. THOMPSON, LL. B. Horton. Tommy. Class Football, Secretary Senior Law Class. Horton was named after the city in which he lives, and if you don ' t believe it ask him which came first. As a scholar, actor, and philanthropist he is only equaled by his protege Shorty. He is a great admirer of Shakespeare because he says that gentleman was from dear old Ireland. HEIM GOLDMAN, LL. B. Oakland, Cal. Heim. Director Mandolin Club. This is Heim ' s 17th year at K. U., and he knows more ancient history than Prtof. Miller. Heim has several degrees and may come back for Fine Arts next year. He was a 3 weeks victim last year, but you can ' t keep a good man down and he has shown the faculty some fine points since then. Heim developed the best mandolin club in the history of K. TJ., and is a reform advocate. WINFIELD B. FERGUSON, LL. B. Kansas City. Furgy. President Middle Law Class, Business Man- ager Ka nsas Lawyer. Furgy comes from the west side, which Jimmy Burke says doesnt include Rosedale. Furgy is one of the most popular men of the class, and has the reputa- tion of saying exactly what he thinks. He has a great deal to accomplish in the coming year, because — well, Furgy believes in co-education. 90 m RUSSELL E. BUTLER, LL. B. Omaha, Neb. Butt. Kappa Sigma, Phi Delta Phi, Kansas-Okla- homa Debate ' 07 and ' 09, Good Government Club, Debating Council, Lawyer Board, Athenian Sen- ate, Jurisprudence Council, Speaker Kansas Day Banquet, Speaker Law Banquet, Vice-President Senior Class. Butt came from Baker with Gibbs, and has made good in spite of his former schooling. He is an orator of the old school and brings the natives to tears when he talks. The firm of Butler Gibbs will specialize in divorce cases. CLIFFORD F. CHAPMAN, LL. B. Perry, Okla. Shorty. Shorty was graduated from the University of Okla- homa before coming here, and he is as broad mentally as he is long physically. GEORGE E. THORPE, LL. B. SCANDIA. Thorpe is a felative of Win. Scott ' s, which is a suffi- cient recommendation to carry him through life. He is married, but don ' t blame him for that — we all have our faults. EDWIN E. BROOKENS, LL. B. Smith Center. Brook. Phi Alpha Delta, President K. U. Republican Club, President Jurisprudence Club, Good Gov- ernment Club.

Lends stability to anything with which he is con- nected. Always given ths treasury job in order to give an appearance of financial stability., for that is generally what it amounted to (an appearance). HUGH T. FISHER, LL. B. Baldwin. Fish. Phi Delta Phi, Editor Kansas Lawyer. Fish is a good student and will make a good lawyer and other things. He comes from Baldwin and of course is a model young man. Mr. and Mrs. Fisher have not decided upon their futufe residence. GEO. N. GIBBS, LL. B. Oskaloosa. Gibby. Kappa Sigma, Phi Delta Phi, Baseball ' 08- ' 09. Athenian Senate, Good Government Club, Juris- prudence Conference. Gibby is the matinee idol of the baseball team and has broken many hearts since he first appeared on the diamond. He expects to establish a matrimonial bureau in connection with the other business of the firm of Butler and Gibbs. Kansas City, Mo., wants George, but it is rumored that St. Joe will get him. BENJ. F. BOWERS, LL. B. Centropolis Ben. Acacia. Ben came to K. U. with a beautiful mustache, which he nursed until this year. For some unknown reason he forsook it and gossip says there is a woman in the case. If this is true we can say that she will get a mighty good man. 92 - ■ S. LEONARD LASH BROOK, LL. B. Lawrence. Daddy. Secretary Cooley Club ' 08, Treasurer Republi- can Club ' 08. Daddy is graduated from Washington Friends Academy and has had several years ' experience as a County Superintendent. He is a staunch supporter 1 of the Republican party and, when he is aroused, the American eagle can be heard to scream for the sake of the Government of, by and for the people. EDGAR R. BARNES, LL. B. Blue Mound. Sleepy. He may be sleepy but he ain ' t no fool. Every now and then Barnes comes out of that beautiful slumber and startles the world with some exceptional deed and then floats back into that wonderful realm of dreamland. EDW. E. HANEY, LL. B. FONTANA. President Junior Law Class, President Thes- pian Dramatic Club, The Climbers. Haney is stage struck, so they say, and if that is true the bar must suffer. He is up on dramatics, how- ever, and when he soars to the heights of oratory Sotherii. Warfield and Vale Nance are put to shame. JAMES H. ATWOOD, LL. B. Sibley. Jim. Glee Club, Athenian Senate. Although Jim comes from Sibley, Kansas, he speaks like a real Suthenah. It has taken some work to forget that he once attended chapel regularly at Baker University, but now he is quite civilized and it is hoped that he will never make such a mistake again. 93 .— LEE JACKSON, LL. B. Barnard. Jack. Since entering the Law School Jack has been the right-hand man of Prof. Higgins, whom he resembles very closely. He is an expert wad shooter, being only excelled by Tub Reed. JOHN S. AMICK, LL. B. Wellington. Acacia, University Orchestra, Band, Manager and Treasurer of Band ' 08- ' 09, President Cooler Club ' 08- ' 09, Y. M. C. A. Amick is one of the older members of the class and is one of its guns. He has the reputation of stay- ing with whatever he takes up and has done much to improve the various musical organizations of K. U. LEROY T. CANNON, LL. B. Cunningham. It wasn ' t his fault that they named him Leroy. Not- withstanding that handicap, he has made a success as a University student. When you want to find someone that knows a thing, go to Leroy. HARLEY C. WOOD, LL. B. Ness City. Pete. Sigma Chi, Phi Delta Phi, Athenian Senate. Lawyer Board, Football ' 07- ' O8, Jurisprudence Conference, Speaker Law Banquet. Harley is an all-around athlete and if his ability as a baseball player is questioned he will tell you that Jo Wood is his brother. 94 m RIDLEY S. PEARSON, LL. B. Merriam. Pid. Phi Gamma Delta, Mandolin Club ' 06- ' 08, Inter- Fraternity Debate ' 07- ' 08, Class Football ' 08, Finance Committee Law Banquet ' 07, Chairman Program Committee Law Scrimmage ' 08. The only thing that worries Pid is, which will be the most profitable when he returns to his native heath, meaning Merriam, his knowledge of the law ur his knowledge of the latest mode of dancing. GEORGE F. CROWELL, LL. B. Attica. Pat. Acacia, Varsity Football ' 06- ' 08, Captain ' 08, Ever Victorious ' 09 Freshman Football, Demo- cratic Club, Athletic Board. Pat led the Varsity to the greatest victory it has ever had in football, and his personal work did much to make Kansas the champions of the Missouri Valley. Pat may return a s coach next year unless Attiky keeps him to improve conditions against winch the N. Y. lady railed. WALTER E. BROWN, LL. B. Holton. Buster. Beta Theta Pi, Athenian Senate, Good Govern- ment Club, Junior Farce, Senior Play, Debating Council, Winner Inter-Fraternity Debate ' 07, Class Day Committee , President Pan Hellenic ' 08, Philosophic Circle. Buster has been the boss politician for four years, and what he hasn ' t done isn ' t worth writing (as well as some that he has). He makes a success of everything but the ladies, and he says that he hopes he will always remain that way. He will run for Chancellor next year. RAY MICHAELS, LL. B. Muscatine, Iowa. Mike. Mike is the king of ineligibles at the University, but notwithstanding this great drain upon his time, he manages to appear upon the Hill every Friday. For three years he has been city nightwatchman, and you can see him at his post any time between darkness and dawn. 95 R. O. DOUGLAS, A. B., LL. B. Mound City. Dug. Phi Delta Phi, Good Government Club, Athen- ian Senate, President Senior Class ' 07, Lawyer Board, Missouri-Kansas Debate ' 05, Toastmaster Law Banquet, Vice-President Athletic Associa- tion ' 05- ' 06, Representative to State Bar Associa- tion. Dug is also professor of public speaking and de- bating, which goes to show that there are quite a num- ber of good men in the faculty. ALEXANDER H. GURLEY, LL. B. Barnard. Buck. Phi Gamma Delta Buck should have been an athlete, but the girls wouldn ' t leave him alone, and since he entered the Law School the co-eds insist upon getting classes in Green Ha ' l. Buck is popular not only with the ladies, but with everyone. MERLE C GROENE, LL. B. Kansas City. Peggy. Phi Alpha Delta, Allemania, Rear Admiral Canoe Club, Junior Farce Committee ' 07, Man- dolin Club, Band, Chairman Rowing Committee. Peggy comes from the west side, and has been in school since its founding. He has not decided whether to be a musician, lawyer ' or multi-millionaire. WM. E. RICE, LL. B. Red Rock, Okla. Billy. Football ' 03, ' 07- ' 08, Athenian Senate, Cooley Club, Jurisprudence Conference, Senior Play. The inhabitants of Red Rock may not know what a Jurisprudence Conference is or why it is, but they are not to be left in ignorance much longer, for it is to be impressed on their minds very soon. In fact, im- pressiveness is one of Billy ' s str ' ong points, whether to the class, to the opposition ' s line in a game, or as the story has it, to a certain young lady who thought he was too impressive. 96 ARTHUR V. ROBERTS, LL. B. Wichita. Ph. B. ' 04, Taylor University, Upland, Ind. It has always been the impression that Roberts had a past, but beyond the fact that he was married, nothing was known until the Senior cards were handed in, when it was found that he had the degree given above. The class grieves with him and hopes he may yet live it down. JOHN E. CARLSON, LL. B. Kansas City. Swede. Sigma Chi, Football ' 08- ' 09, Baseball ' 07- ' 08, Captain ' 09, Captain Freshman Football ' 10. The terrible Swede has been a great factor in Uni- versity athletics, and when he hits the line something pops. Swede is very well posted in the art of making love and can tell you many stories of Fair Helen of Troy (?). CHARLES L. CARROLL, LL. B. Great Bend. Columbian, Debating Council, President Kent Club ' 07- ' 08, Cooley Club, Burke Debating Society. His heavy work on the hill has prevented his par- ticipating in athletics, but next summer he will chal- lenge the champion wrestler of the world. He may be little but — Oh, my ! KEITH CLEVENGER, LL. B. Osawatomie. Slats. Phi Alpha Delta, Cooley Club, Thespian Dram- atic Club, Republican Club, Senior Play. It has never besn discovered why he was sent to Osa- watomie in the first place, because Slats seems to be O. K. He is a barn-stormer for true. 97 GEORGE A. PORTER, LL. B. Kansas City, Mo. Sprouty. Phi Gamma Delta, Varsity Football ' 07, Class Football ' 06- ' 08. Sprouty is a regular whirlwind at any kind of athletics, but some of his friends upon the eligibility committee have been very concerned with his health and advised him not to over-indulge. lie has always been the ladies ' favorite and his reputation reaches even to Florida. DANIEL G. SMITH, LL. B. GlRARD. Smith is a great business man, his latest enterprise being that of financing the Girard Airship Line. He comes from the good old Southern stock and recom- mends that Dixie be sung in chapel each morning. JACOB H. SIMMINGER, LL. B. Atwood. Jake. President Democratic Club, Vice-President De- bating Council, K. U. Speaker at Democratic State Banquet at Topeka. Jake has the distinction of being the first K. U. graduate from Rawlins Co., and is one of the political leaders in his community. He was graduated from the Kansas State Normal. Jake is full of pepper and he is doped to be Governor some day. 98 JOSEPH C. McCANLES, LL. B. Lawrence. Mac. Director University Band ' 07- ' 09. Previous to his University career, Mac studied music in Chicago, and while here in school has been an instructor of violin and wind instruments. (It is hoped that no one will take offense at the latter state- ment.) As leader of the noisy hunch, Mac has cer- tainly proved a success, especially in his development of Prof. Bushong. CHESTER A. RAMSEY, A. B., LL. B. Lawrence. Phi Delta Phi, Kansas-Iowa Debate ' 05, Kan- sas-Baker Debate ' 06, Editor Jayhawker ' 07, Quill Club, Good Government Club. Now let the corporation owned judiciary look out, for here appears a new champion of the common people, to whom it will have to be explained. Several profes- sors will testify that it is not always the easiest thing in the world to do. JAMES EMERICK, LL. B. Lawrence. Jim. Phi Delta Phi. Jim grew tired of sewing on buttons and a year ago he took upon himself the party of the first part, who has jurisdiction in every suit which Jim may possess. Mrs. Emerick wasn ' t told soon enough to take Jim down to have his picture taken. 99 «p CHARLES SAN FORD SKILTON, A. B. Dean of the School of Fine Arts and Professor of Musical Theory and Organ ■ ®Ij£ rtf00l of iFto Arta The first Fine Arts catalogue, dated 1884, was a small pamphlet of two sheets. The names of the instructors printed on this catalogue were Mr. William McDonald, Professor of Piano, who was the first Dean of the Department of Music, and Mr. Aldrich, Professor of Voice. It was in that year that the course in music was established. However, there were before this several instructors in music in connection with the University. In 1875 the name of Alice G. Boughton, teacher of instrumental music, was in the list of faculty members. Professor Aldrich resigned in 1888, and Anna E. March, assistant instructor of piano-forte, was elected to take his place. Professor McDonald resigned in 1889, and George B. Penny was appointed dean. At this time the music depart- ment was located at North College. In 1891 it was moved to the old Music Hall on Massachusetts street, then in a few years back to North College, where it still remains. As each department of music developed it was put in the hands of a specialist. The first was appointed in 1892, and was Mr. Carl A. Preyer, the present director of the Department of Piano-forte. In 1892, K. Geza Dome, from the Vienna Conservatory, was chosen Professor of Violin. He resigned in 1898, and Mr. Joseph Farrel took his place and held it until 1900 when he resigned also. At present the instructor of violin is Miss Helen Phipps, and of voice, Professor Hubach. Professor Penny resigned in 1903, and Charles S. Skilton, the present dean, was appointed. Several assistant instructors have been added to these departments and the music school has gained greatly in importance in the last few years. The courses of study are similar to those in the best American conservatories. Drawing was first taught in the University in 1885, when Miss Mary Louise Simpson conducted a course in free-hand drawing. The pupils who took the art work were not considered members of the University and so did not register. The method of paying by lesson continued until 1889, when the work was put on a graded basis and so continues. Miss Simpson was succeeded by Miss Cora Parker in 1890. The Department of Drawing and Painting was incorporated with that of Music in 1893, and the School of Fine Arts was established. Pro- fessor George Hopkins was then given charge of the Art Department. In 1895 A. H. Clark was elected. He resigned five years later and Professor William A. Griffith, the present instructor, was elected. In 1893 the Department of Elocution was added with Georgia Brown and May Pierce as instructors. In 1899 Mrs. Cora McCullum Smith and Charles Vickney were instructors in this department. From 1902, Professor Fraser, instructor of public speaking, had charge of elocution until he resigned in 1908 and Miss Ger- trude Mossier, the present instructor, was elected. 102 ' - NINA HESTER, B. of P. Lawrence. Nina draws and paints., and eats at Billy ' s. Isn ' t that proof that she is not one-sided? Though spend- ing a great deal of time in the Snow Hall studio, she always comes out for class affairs and is a loyal class supporter. BERTHA B. KILWORTH, Mus. B. Lawrence. Bert. Kappa Kappa Gamma, Quill Club, Y. W. C. A., Junior Prom Committee, Junior Farce, Senior Class Day Committee. Bert is an unusual girl, combining, as she does, musical ability and a practical business sense. Is it any wonder, then, that she can go through literary, dramatic and musical honors, have a case, and still come out at the end of the four years ready for a trip to Europe? LUCILE E. KRONE, B. of P. Independence. Quill Club, Quill Board. When the sun is hot And the wind is high, Out Lucille does trot For to paint the sky. Shadows done in blue, ' Lavender the hills, High lights, yellow hue, Rapture then instills. Paintress of the stream, Wielder of the pen, Sewer of the seam, Not averse to men. GRACE WARNER, Mus. B. Garden City. Junior Farce, Thespian Dramatic Club, Climb- ers ' 09. Grace is one of the girls of the shortgrass wno has come to the far eastern Lawrence to shower her talents in dramatics upon the assembled mob of dear critical professors. If she were a boy we might call her a prince. but she is certainly entitled to the feminine equivalent of that well-meaning epithet. 103 «■ m AGNES HELEN UHRLAUB, Mus. B. Lawrence. Kappa Alpha Theta, Y. W. C. A. Agnes is one of the Fine Arts who graduates a little ahead of her time. She intends to study music abroad next year, much to the sorrow of a certain sorrel- topped athlete. It is said that she wears in her locket the tooth which the aforesaid athlete was reported to nave lost at a basket ball game. MAYME ADELAIDE GARRETT, Mus. B. Bonner Springs. Junior Farce, ' 07; Senior Play, ' 08. Mame is far famed as one of the Merry Widow chorus of the Nawab of Zu Zu, and now bids fair to play the star 1 part of the widow herself. We appreciate her preference for our class over that of last year. She is one of the four Indian girls at the Smith House, to which she has risen by gradual evolution from the Sun- flower Club of freshman days. GERTRUDE IRENE CARPENTER, Mus. B. Girard. Since she must get a graft in some way Gertrude, after practicing twelve hours a day, more or less, will don her Sunday clothes and a broad smile, and seek a front seat at every concert. Some of these recitals she enjoys ; others she attends through force of habit. After she retufns home she exclaims, with a frown : Law, all that agony for nothing ! Dean Skilton didn ' t even look my way. No graft there for me. Every evening she hurries off to the library to get her English. She has no use for men unless they are football players or amateur opera singers. She is so very much interested in Boston that we hope she will study there next winter, and she hopes so, too. VERNA M. WEIDLEIN, Mus. B. Augusta. To know her is to like her 1 . Several boys have thought so, but alas, that absent-minded, far-away look of hers is most discouraging to all presuming youths. Verna ' s interest in K. U. is strictly intellectual, as there is a nice young man waiting who is already in business and making stacks of money. This accounts for the far- away look. She is the sister of Ed, who wants it dis- tinctly understood that he is still looking around. 104 i PEARL EMLEY, Mus. B. Lawrence. Chi Omega, Sophomore Prom Committee, Junior Prom Committee. Pearl is the real thing when it comes to pounding the ivories ; but we do not think her musical career 1 will in- terfere with her future occupation. She is quite a literary artist, especially when it comes to describing incidents that happen at football games. She can ' t help it. however, that her brother is a doctor, and so it is all right. Pearl has bright eyes and a sunny disposition which makes her admired by all who meet her. Her name is quite appropriate to her character, and some day she may be a Mrs. Paderewski, unless she decides to take a shorter name. GERTRUDE RUSS, Mus. B. Lawrence. Gertrude is the Jennie Lind of the class, and whenever she sings in chapel there is always a full, house. The fact that she sings in the Methodist choir may be the reason that most of the students are Methodists. From the looks of things just at present anyone who wants to launch into the sea of matrimony ahead of her will have to hurry. CHARLOTTE L. ANDERSON, Mus. B. Chetopa. During her freshman year, her mother and her sister being in Lawrence, she became so accustomed to attend- ing strictly to business that Charlotte has lived a very orderly life while in the University. She has never even worked up a case — not because she lacked the chance, but the time. She begins practicing every morning duti- fully at 8 o ' clock, and because of her punctuality she finds time for many outside things. She is especially enthusiastic about Fine Arts concerts, and usually she is the gatekeeper. If she comes back next year she in- tends to bump Furgy out of his job during footba ' .l season. LILLIAN M. CORNELIUS, Mus. B. NlCKERSON. After considering the question fairly and without preju- dice we reluctantly admit that Mabel has a case — has had one for some time, and if things go smoothly will probably always have one. This is our verdict: ' Tis true, t ' is pity, and pity ' tis ' tis true. However, we can ' t stop her. She is a good musician and could make a name for herself in that work if she hadn ' t decided to make one in another. 105 m MRS. G. C. THORPE. Mus. B. SCANDIA. A. B. Mrs. Thorpe has taken music as a recreation while Mr. Thorpe was finishing up his law course. They both graduate this year. ETHEL SHALER, B. of P. Lawrence. Ethel paints — no, not that way, of course, but with a brush. Moreover, she is a charter 1 member of the Whist Club and is reported to be bashful, though this last we are unable to verify. Is possessed of a jolly smile, a presidential hand shake and a nice discrimination as to how much ham ought to be in a sandwich. Lives in a red Tarn and keeps her cases strictly on the Q. T. If you ' re looking for a delicate sylph-like fairy, turn over the page. MARY MARGARET CONE, Mus. B. Lawrence. Peggy. Y. W. C. A. Peggy is simply crazy about sleigh riding with pills. Every Saturday the faithful Margaret makes a long, tiresome journey to the metropolis of Eudora, where she meets her class of hedgehogs and hill-billies in musical appreciation. Next yeaf she hopes to further carry on this work among the oil magnates of Chanute — that is, if Leopold, of Acacia fame, evaporates. DOROTHEA JANET McKNIGHT. Junction City. Dainty Dorothea ! She has quite outgrown her fresh man habit of cutting class to talk to the boys — hard luck for them. Since The Punter has gone out into the world to make a living she has become more staid in her ways and is thinking seriously of the stage. She has been the star in 3 number of dramatic performances and has undoubtedly made good in that art. 106 DAISY D. GARVIN, Mus. B. Lawrence. Miss Garvin has overcome to take her degree in music. a great many difficulties GRACE REYNOLDS, Mus. B. Lawrence. Miss Reynolds has been a music teacher 1 in Lawrence for some time, but is just now taking her degree in music. Her work from now on will probably not only equal but excel that of the past, as she is better pre- pared for the work. 107 • LUCIUS ELMER SAYRE, B. S., Ph. G., Ph. M. Dean of the School of Pharmacy and Professor of Pharmacy ! 1 MI 111 RoY vrt K tw. mxax (Elaaa, rtjnnl nf f Ifarmanj Our class was launched upon its eventful cruise for the Isle of Ph.C. in ' 07, with one of the largest enrollments heretofore recorded in our de- partment. On account of its size, it seemed as if the Men Higher Up were especially active in the weeding out process, but nevertheless we were spurred on by these calamities to greater deeds. Although our class has not been very active in the life of the University, it has not been be- cause we are not loyal, but on account of the 8-hour rule for work that is in force in our department besides from 7 to 12 at night. And then, the next morning, when we return weary-eyed from the night before, we are informed that we have nothing to do. It is, indeed, unfortunate that our work is so entirely removed from the social whirl on the campus and we feel that when our school is graced with a building that we will be rec- ognized more fully in the life of old K. U. We have indeed been a peaceful and quiet class in our political strife, our elections usually being framed up by the mach ' ne and forced through with a rapidity that would be a credit to some of the old machine poli- ticians of our state. The first of this year we were busily engaged in looking after the in- terests of our Freshman brothers who seemed woefully weak in the eti- quette of university life. Now, after much coaching, we feel that they are confident enough to take up the work we have been forced to leave. Although our class may not be as brlliant as some in other depart- ments and has not been permitted to participate as much as we wished in social life, we have striven diligently to uplift the School of Pharmacy as much as has been :n our power. Confident that we have done as much in this line as any class before us, we trust that those who follow will do even more. 110 ARTHUR EVANS, Ph. C. Lawrence. Curley. Pharmaceutical Society, Vice-President Senior Class. Native of Lawrence and quite a ladies ' Man. Ponies are a little small for his use. Although Arthur is somewhat of a gun, he is quiet about it. He will probably some day revise the Pharmacopoeia and write a treatise on pharmacy. MRS. AGNES M. DUNNING, Ph. C. Chanute. Queen of Grafters. Pharmaceutical Society, Secretary Senior Class ' 09; Secretary Junior Class ' 08, Treasurer Phar- maceutical Society ' 08. She is the pride of the pharmacy school and inci- dentally of the professors, and we are sure that if she draws business as well as she does grades there will be one prosperous drug store in Kansas. She is the cause of much peace and quietness in our laboratories. JAMES GUY VAN SCOYOC, Ph. C. Oak Hill. Van Sky. Pi Theta Sigma, Pharmaceutical Society, Y. M. C. A. A great office-seeker, but the only office he ever held was secretaryship of the Loafers ' Union. A man that can manage a team (ponies are too small). He is a society man from the word go and makes it a business to change ladies every three weeks. We must mention that he is a gun in Thesis work. H. F. KASEY, Ph. C. McPherson. President Pharmaceutical Society. He came to us from McPherson (a wide place in the road) in the fall of ' 06, straight from mamma ' s arms. Ah, we can see him now as he left home and mother on that eventful day, to seek his fortune (and to have his picture in the annual) at the great school of pharmacy, up the rocky crags of Mt. Oread. The Junior ' s ' pride and joy — also choice — ' but even Juniors may be Freshmen. They will learn in time. Ill CHAS. W. CLARKE, Ph. C. Washington. Choppy. Pi Theta Sigma, President Pharmaceutical Society. Choppy came to us from Washington (Kans.). He is somewhat of a gun, but might be classed as a grafter. He has a great affinity for the ladies, and if everything is lovely we think he will take unto him- self the fortune of a bridge contractor and builder in the magnificent city of Washington (Kans.).

A wise fool — a gift to be coveted. RICHARD O. ZEMAN, Ph. C. Wilson. Graustark. Pi Theta Sigma, Pharmaceutical Society. He doesn ' t paint but has rosy cheeks. It is from hard study. He was made for a detective, not a pill roller, as he spends most of his hours in the secrets and sciences of the Argosy. He took Qual twice and we are sure that if he is as thorough in the drug business he will be a great success. 112 GLEN H1VELY, Ph. C. Bartlett. Paw Hiveley. Pharmaceutical Society. An Also-Ran — and still running. A regular fish when it comes to throwing the aqua — also some on throwing hot air, dry and warm. An ex-school teacher — distant relative of Ichabod Crane. All in all, old man Hively ' s son is a good student, a good loafer, grafter, ladies ' man, and — well a combination of things, we should say. RALPH L. COBURN, Ph. C. Preston. Peggy. Pharmaceutical Society. Coburn is from Preston. We think that it is on the map, but haven ' t been able to find it yet. He is an honorary member of the Loafers ' Union. He is a good student and has wit and is always ready to lead a cut. He has been recently elected official shin kicker of the class. ORA B. REES, Ph. C. Hutchinson. Tubby. Pi Theta Sigma, Pharmaceutical Society, Presi- dent Junior and Senior Classes. Ora is a man with a history. He can run a street car, manage politics and is a man with the talk.

He is to be married soon but, as yet, it is not known whether he is to live in a brick house or a salt house. Time will tell — alas ! A good man in his line ; a gun in his studies. A true Kansan — he lives, laughs, loves as only we of the plains know how. A stranger to the Disciplinary Committee, it is said — but then, even Caesar did not know all things. ARTHUR W. CRAIG, Ph.

If you see a young man walking down the street, head low and eyes with a far-away look, you know that it is Arthur. Yes, he dreams, dreams and dreams, but not at night, however. From appearances he attends a class in Snow Hall, but this is a mistake for he is a common pharmic. He is a good student and we all wish him suc- cess in the art of dope mixing. ARTHUR STEVENSON, Ph.

Professor of Internal Medicine and Dean of the Clinical Department of the School of Medicine MERVIN TUBMAN SUDLER, Ph. D., M. D. Professor of Anatomy and Gynecology and Dean of the Scientific Department of the School of Medicine J . m flxatory of i rljonl of Hfedtrin? As early as 1890 the University of Kansas offered to students of medicine a single year ' s work in the scientific branches which, it was hoped, would be accepted by reputable medical colleges in lieu of similar work in the medical schools proper. Unfortunately the requirements of the various State Boards forbade such recognition for work done outside of the strictly professional schools ; and the course failed, in consequence, to attract any considerable number of students. It became necessary, therefore, either to abandon all attempts to do work considered by the medical colleges as professional, or to so extend and strengthen the medical courses in the university as to compel their recognition. Various attempts were made in the succeeding years to affiliate or to integrate the medical work with some recognized medical school of the state, but without success. In 1897 a rather bold plan was formulated to provide a medical course of two years ' extent, to be in all respects of the character and of the quality of the first two years ' work in the best medical colleges, eliminating only any clinical studies and sub- stituting in their place the strictly scientific work of the last two years of some col- leges. It was expected that as soon as the capacity and the desire of the university to provide such instruction of a high character was demonstrated, it would receive the recognition of the better colleges throughout the country, an absolutely vital necessity, since, without direct articulation with institutions granting the medical degree, the course was doomed to absolute failure. The scientific departments were extended and so modified as to furnish facilities for instruction of a medical char- acter; the department of physiology was greatly extended and given facilities for high-grade laboratory work; and for the first time in an American university not granting the degree of Doctor of Medicine, the department of human anatomy was founded and provided with the best of facilities. Thirty-two students matriculated in the autumn of 1898 at the opening of this two years ' course, twenty-three of whom completed the course with credit, all of whom, save one or two who abandoned further professional studies, are now reput- able practitioners of medicine. From the beginning it was the policy of the faculty to demand thorough work on the part of the students, knowing that the only hope for the success of the school lay in the character of its graduates; and this policy has been continued, I believe, to the present time. During the writer ' s connection 118 with the school, not a single one of its graduates failed to receive full credit for the work done at the University of Kansas; nor have any been plucked or condi- tioned in their further work. A fight for the recognition of this two years ' course was anticipated from the start, because of the peculiar and somewhat mediaeval requirements of licensing boards in America, but no one anticipated that this struggle for recognition would be so severe as it was. The various boards of health refused at first, as formerly, to receive as candidates for practice students who had not pursued a full four years ' course in medicine at a regular medical school in good standing, and since the uni- versity did not grant the degree of Doctor of Medicine, it could not claim to be a regular medical school. The result was that the American colleges of medicine refused to receive on any conditions the graduates of the course for advanced standing, and failure was again imminent. As a preliminary to obtaining recognition for the work done at the University of Kansas, it became necessary to obtain recognition of it by its own faculty, which would seem to be a trifling thing, but which in reality was, perhaps, the most difficult of all. Some of the conservatives of the University faculty opposed the recogni- tion of human anatomy and physiology as being equivalent to the work in compar- ative anatomy and physiology previously done at the University, which was recognized as not being professional in character, and consequently not so useful to the stu- dents. By persistence, however, this opposition was overcome in June, 1899. A few days later the present writer presented the claims of the school to recognition before the Association of American Medical colleges at St. Paul, which had hitherto refused such, recognition. The fight here resulted in victory, afterward consummated at the meeting of the Association at Atlantic City. It was supposed that this would be the end of the matter, but unfortunately, the Illinois State Board of Health, one of the most influential of the country at that time, still refused recognition, preventing the acceptance by the Chicago colleges of medicine, of students from the university, for advanced standing. Inasmuch as this refusal set a very pernicious standard, it became necessary that it should be reversed. By personal interviews with the president of that board, and with the assistance of President Harper of the University of Chicago, this recognition was finally won, and the telegram acknowledging that fact a little later gave the greatest encouragement to the faculty of the University of Kansas School of Medicine. Finally, in the spring of 1902, like recognition was granted by the regents of the University of New York, and the Kansas University School of Medi- cine was finally established as a reputable school of medicine, ' ' though giving only the first two years ' work of the course, and not granting the degree of Doctor of 119 Medicine. Since that time various like courses have been established in the univer- sities of America, receiving recognition as a matter of course ; but the University of Kansas was the pioneer that made the way easy. The writer, though no longer connected with the University of Kansas or its medical school, rejoices as much as can anyone, in its development, and is confident that it has a brilliant and most useful future before it. S. W. Williston. The fact that the only city of Kansas large enough to furnish the material necessary for demonstration to the students in a properly equipped medical school lies in Missouri, or at least mostly in Missouri, proved for several years an insur- mountable obstacle to the establishment of a complete medical school in the Univer- sity of Kansas. Then it became so apparent that the Missouri Valley needed a medical school, and also apparent that the University of Kansas was the only insti- tution in position to furnish such a school, that the regents decided to do the radical thing and utilize the resources of Kansas City. Dr. Simeon B. Bell ' s standing offer of several tracts of land, valued at $75,000.00, to be given the institution that would locate a hospital on his ground in Rosedale was accepted. This put the school near the point of the wedge separating Kansas City, Missouri, from Kansas City, Kan- sas, and in position to utilize the hospitals and clinical facilities of both cities. The citizens of Rosedale promised to build streets to the proposed site and do everything in their power to forward the undertaking. So Dr. Bell ' s land was sold and the Medical Pavilion and the Clinical Laboratory erected. Approach to the grounds by way of the Southwest Boulevard has already been made possible even in the muddy season. Next year should see College Avenue paved and the street to the state line graded. Then we hope to see a good connection with the Missouri boulevard system at Thirty-sixth and Genesee streets within the next three years. On the other side, we hope to see materialize the plans for a street railway over Gray- stone Heights and the Kaw to Kansas City, Kansas. These connections, with tne erection of the famous new Union Depot, only fourteen blocks away, will justity the action of the University in accepting Dr. Bell ' s gift. G. H. Hoxie. J 120 s. FRED C. RUMSEY, M. D. VlNLAND. Custodian of the Patent Medicines. Rumley first looked with approval upon the light of day many years ago in the hamlet of Vinland, which nestles not far beyond the shadow of Mt. Oread. Here he grew and waxed fat, each day becoming more and more a source of joy to his proud parents. His reli- gious inclinations induced them to send him to Baker university with the hope that one day he might be- come a Methodist minister. But, alas, we don ' t know how, Fr ' eddie got side-tracked from theology and came to K. U. to be made over into a doctor. His last year in K. U. has enabled him to give loose rein to his altruistic impulses, and he will not soon tire talk- ing of the great good he has done as a medical mis- sionary in The Patch ' ' surrounding Bethel Mission. In this year he has developed an astonishing facility in discovering most interesting cases ; and his opin- ions, medical and otherwise, have taken on so protean a character ' as to command the interested attention of his classmates and co-workers. WM. L. CHILCOTT, M. D. Billings, Mont. Treasurer of Senior Class of Medical School. The date of Chick ' s coming into the world is shrouded in doubt ; we don ' t know it, the University rec- ords don ' t show it, and it is possible that he has for- gotten it. What we do know is that his hair is thin- ning and that he is past twenty. As an aide to the hospital staff he has achieved much distinction ; and his ability to popularize himself with the nurses, and ladies generally, sets an example which those who come after him would do well to emulate. He has talked vaguely of going to Montana to practice, but we are not at all sure that he will get away from Kansas City before becoming entangled in the bonds of matrimony. If he does that, who can predict where he will go or what he will do? We don ' t wish him any bad luck, but Mon- tana is said to lie a rather God-forsaken country. CLIFFORD P. JOHNSON, M. D. COFFEYVILLE. Adjunct of Senior Class of Medical School, President of Y. M. C. A. in the Clinical De- partment. Clifford Peter is a thing of beauty and a joy for- ever. When he began the study of medicine it was with a more or less well-defined intention of carrying his skill and learning to China, there gratuitously to dispense it among the heathen, together with his in- fluence towards a moral and religious uplift. But now we believe he has decided that Coffeyville needs him as much as China, and no one among us will deny that in this he has reached a sane conclusion. Of honors he has had his meed. Chief among them are the presi- dency of the Y. M. C. A. in the clinical department of the medical school, and adjunct of the senior class. In each capacity he has acquitted himself with distinc- tion. The fixed limit of his activity coincides with that of his duty. Without hesitancy we predict for him a brilliant future. 121 ROBERT D. IRLAND, M. D. Kansas City, Mo. Nu Sigma Nu, Secretary of Senior Class of Medical School, Annual Board. Bobby is from the state of Perm ; but he has been in Kansas City so long that he is thoroughly acclimated to this region, and he expects to stay right here and practice in a good city. He has represented the state of Kansas and the medical school on various occasions, and is the man on whom we call to represent the senior medics. He has had no trouble in being rec- ognized by the dean and others as one of the best men in the class ; and his ability has been rewarded by his appointment as interne and conductor of the K. U. Free Dispensary during his entire senior year. He is a versatile man, a good mixer, a good student and observer of human nature, and we forecast for him a successful career in his chosen profession. MARK A. BRAWLEY, A. B., M. D. Frankfort. Alpha Tau Omega, Nu Sigma Nu, The People. Mark has been spotted by one of our professors as the man destined to become the automobile doctor who can charge and collect five-dollar fees. His sober countenance masks a jovial, fun-loving nature and will surely prove a valuable asset in the practice of his pro- fession. In the last year 1 he has developed a peculiar devotion to the importance of one ' s attitude towards the work ; and, too, an enormous enthusiasm respecting the great utility of the giant trocar. For originality of opinion, eager pursuit of surgical and medical research, and indifference to petty things, he is unique among us. Nothing upsets his equanimity quite so much as to be pestered by details of school regimen. BRETT DAVIS, M. D. Independence. Xu Sigma Nu, President of Senior Class of Medical School. Davey hails from Independence, and perhaps the influence of his town ' s name has had its effect upon his judgments. Fearlessly he forms his own opinions and fights for them to the last ditch against any and all comers who show any disposition to combat them. He threatens to invade the Pacific slope in his endeavor to find a location in which he can exercise his medi- cal skill. With his long eye to the future, his strong will and his pugnacious tendencies, it is easy money that he will realize the success of which he now is hav- ing such resplendent visions. 122 ©raining rtjnol ELIZABETH ROGERS.

Dean of the Grauate School and Professor of Sociology , and Economics 5tye Gkaimate rljnnl The Graduate School of the University of Kansas was organized in the year 1896, most of the work offered being in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering. From the first the excellent opportunities offered in the various departments have attracted large numbers of students. As the opportunities for advanced study mul- tiplied, the number of such students ncreased and several of the depart- ments at the present time have found it expedient to offer courses spe- cially designed for graduates. To encourage advanced study and research work, eleven fellowships paying two hundred and sixty-five dollars each, and six fellowships pay- ing five hundred dollars each, are granted annually by the University. In addition to these, several industrial fellowships, paying as high as fifteen hundred dollars each, are open to advanced students in the Chemistry Department. Eight degrees are offered by the University. These are as follows: Master of Arts; Master of Science; Electrical Engineer; Civil Engineer; Mechanical Engineer; Mining Engineer; Chemical Engineer; Doctor oi Philosophy. No set courses of study leading to any of the advanced de- grees are provided. Each candidate works independently and the aim of the University is to furnish facilities for advanced study commensurate with the demand of the students. 125 The ' 09 candidates for the Master ' s decree are 1 Stella Aiken 2 Rara Benn 3 C.

Its members have permeated the atmosphere of every phase of student activity and hold the more responsible positions in most of the college organizations. In athletics we have fared well. The captain of the Mis- souri Valley Championship Basket Ball Team was a TO man, and the track and tennis captains were also chosen from the Junior ranks. In the College organizat ' ons the Juniors have had the managers of the Man- dolin and Glee Clubs and of both Dramatic Clubs and also several mem- bers of the Inter-Collegiate Debating Teams. The entire editorial and business management of The Kansan has been entrusted to the Juniors. Foremost in every movement of the student body for the welfare of the University, the members of this class have been conspicuous in their efforts to raise the plane of student li f e and promote good fellowship. The past year has revealed possibilities of the class which next year will blos- som into full maturity. 129 Clinton Kanaga (President) Ralph Cole (Vice President) Stella Cornell (Secretary) Elbert Overman (Treasurer) FRESHMAN OFFICERS. President Milton C. Ross Vice-President James G. Smith Secretary Mabel Evans Auditor Clinton Kanaga The Class of ' 11 came tip to Kansas University last year, fresh from the alfalfa and sweet-smelling clover fields. They had the usual heart- breaking - Freshman experiences and made the usual Freshman breaks. As the class has broken no precedents, it has pulled off the customary couple-less Freshman dances and held people-less class meetings. The old-time May Day scrap being abolished, they met their ancient ene- mies, the Sophs in a bitter, wordy debate and carried the field before them with colors flying. With all her typical class troubles, however, the Class of ' 11 is a good one, and here ' s hoping that when she runs her course and emerges from behind the scenes of university life into the lime-light of public affairs, it may be said that never was there a class which was more patri- otic, better spirited, nor more missed from the school life. 130 Clark Wallace (Pres.) Will French (Vice Pres.) Mae Rossman (Sec.) Floyd Rankin (Treas.) Fryman ffllass — ' 12 No sooner had the Class of ' 12 appeared in the K. U. political spot light than Freshmen class politics took life by leaps and bounds. For two entire weeks the surprised and bewildered uppe r-classmen were allowed to witness the progress of a political campaign, which to their conserva- tive minds was altogether too fast and furious for comprehension. After the smoke of battle had cleared away and Mt. Oread ' s summit had again become visible to the wondering townspeople, the Faculty and upper-class- men were allowed to discern what a superior class had made its way into their midst. In University work we have surpassed all previous classes. Fewer flunks were registered against the Class of ' 12 than against any class previously enrolled. In athletics the Freshmen have been a revelation. Our football squad easily won the class tournament. Much of the success of the ever-victorious Varsity team was due to the stiff practice work which the Freshman team put up against them. In basket ball, the 1912 players ranked as top-notchers, completing the entire season with but one defeat. Our track men are unequalled by the Varsity itself and have already broken a number of the K. U. records. The inevitable defeat of the Tiger track team next spring will be due to the efforts of the 1912 men. In society we have trod the narrow path, leaving the giddy social whirl to be indulged in by the older classes. In time, no doubt, we shall become society leaders and set a new social pace for the University. With deep regrets we hail the completion of our Freshman year, consoled only by the thought that there are three more glorious years before us. When three years hence we mount the steep sides of Mt. Oread, clad in cap and gown, Kansas University will have attained under our benign influence the highest standard among universities and through our untir- ing efforts Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk will be known and sung the world over. 131 •M £ E X g ■g CQ tj • — m 9 g Oh g o c o a o o 5 ft. , o a bis £ jb £ S £ si o ®Ijr ratar (Ctfails From their lair up on the fifth floor of Fraser Hall, the Senior Civils look down upon the common herd, literally and figuratively. They occupy a high place among the engineers. It is a well-established tradi- tion that no one ever visits their nest without being given a slight token to remember the occasion by, and only the innocent Freshman can be per- suaded to enter their domain. The class is well organized, very congenial, above the average in their studies, well liked by the professors, feared by the under-classmen, and is justly proud of its record. It numbers among its members three varsity football captains, a basket ball captain, three athletic board members, seven K men, a member of the Am. Soc. C. E., three Sigma Xi ' s, a host of lesser satellites and about twenty-five jolly, good fellows. 133 Scott (President) Reed (Treasurer) Butler (Vice President) Thompson (Secretary) fonuir lOahiH — ' A3 In September, 1906, a crowd of wisdom-thirsty men gathered at Green Hall and, one by one, sought admittance to the dean ' s office. Some were with their mothers, some with wives and others with children. It was hard for the dean to discover whether son, father or husband wished entrance, but finally the class was duly enrolled and work begun. During the past three years the class has maintained a higher standard of scholarship than any which has preceded it, and has produced from its fifty men more prominent athletes, debaters and participants in University organizations than the rest of the Uni- versity as a whole. The dramatic stars this year were in this class, and the Thespians was originated by its members. Pat Crowell, the captain who led the Varsity eleven to the Missouri Valley Championship, is a Senior Law; and Swede Carlson, this year ' s base- ball captain, is also one of the prominent members, and so on until we have nor space nor time to enumerate further. • j The members of the class come from all over the country, and many of the men have had previous college training, experience in the teaching line or in the business world. Not- withstanding the fact that there are several not out of their teens, and some with families to care for, there has been a congeniality, good-fellowship and co-operation which has made the class work a pleasure and the university life one of pleasant associations. Each member seems to have an ambition to win out in life and if brains, determination and systematic work will succeed, we predict that the members of this year ' s Senior Law class will make the highest type of citizens and be an honor to Kansas University and to the State. 134 - MxbM? foams— ' in In the month of September, 1907, there came to Mount Oread from the busy mart, the verdant fields of new mown hay, the sleepy villages, the plains of the West, the slopes of the Rockies, and Missouri, the choicest collection of Juicy Fruit and youthful prodigies that ever assembled in one body, some with grim resolution of purpose that clears all obstacles from the path of life, others with the conviction that Sir Thomas Moore viewed things correctly when he said, As we journey through life, let us live by the way; and still others with an indulgent parent who thought it the proper thing to give a college education to his favored son, who found soon that the search of the Law would least interfere with his receiving the most benefit from a college education. Suffice it to say, that they have developed into the scrappiest, the most brilliant, and at the same time the most congenial bunch that ever worked under Uncle Jimmy, and it is only a fair prophecy to say that the fame of Yale, ' 78, will dwindle into insignificance compared with that which in after years will attach itself to the LL.B. of K. U., ' 10, through the achievements of its distinguished members. The class election the first year was quite a tame affair, owing to the fact that there were so many old heads from the college in the class and the election was over before a great many of the Juniors knew what was stirring, but the one this year was about the warmest affair that ever happened on the hill. For quite a while it appeared to be a deadlock, but the questionable tactics of a few ward heelers hailing from the larger cites finally triumphed over the opposition and the election was decided. As an indication of the real ability of the class, mention might be made of the fact that Professor William Underhill Moore, late of Colum- bia University, had no hesitancy in saying that he thought the class of ' 10 far outranked the present Seniors in real worth and in ability to reason out hypothetical cases. The Smoker (?) given by the class last year was the greatest suc- cess of its kind ever attempted and had much to do with binding the members of the class together in common interest. Another of the same kind was contemplated this year, but owing to the rush of work, etc., etc., it was indefinitely postponed and at present we are quietly pursuing our meek and Humble way. 135 Sawyer (Treasurer) Wilson (President) Campbell (Vice President) Callaway (Secretary) Juninr Hatoa — f lfl Above all others, we dislike a boaster, but when the facts are before us, it is impossible to get around them. We ask, with all due modesty, who has made the showing in athletics, dramatic clubs, musical organiza- tions, debating societies and every other form of University activities? We are not only favored by having the best men on the hill in our class, but we were honored by the presence of one of the weaker sex, an honor which has been conferred upon few of the classes of the Law School. In these few short months we have learned many things, outside as well as inside of our books. We have ascertained the fact that Uncle Jimmy is all that we have been told he is; that Dr. Burdick has a marked dislike for continued absences without excuse ; that Prof. Humble is a lover of flowers (as well as other things). We have not met Prof. Higgins, except in the court room, but we hope that he will not give us such quizzes as he gave the Middles in code pleading, or we may lose some of our reputation for being scholars. Summing up the evidence, we will say that the Junior Class of the School of Law does not take off its hat to any other class in the Univer- sity and we stand ready to defend our right and title to the honor of being the fruit in the garden of knowledge. 136 Stevenson, (Treasurer) Evans, (Vice President) Rees, (President) Dunning, (Secretary) § ?ttuir ItarmtrH— ' 09 The above members who were chosen to run the affairs of our class at the beginning - of tlr ' s year have fulfilled their individual offices very creditably, not indeed, on account of their arduous duty at many class meetings, but because of the ability to keep all questions settled outside of the meeting. All of the above officers, with the exception of Stevenson, were chosen on account of their ability as grafters, each one having a differ- ent method of plying his graft. Mrs. Dunning, for instance, puts in her spare moments visiting the professors ' wives, while Evans brings samples of drugs which he thinks are in violation of The Pure Food and Drugs Act. Rees, however, works his graft in broad daylight, for if hot air will buy a credit he believes in using it to its fullest extent, so when anything is wanted as a favor from the powers that be he is always del- egated to secure it and always returns heavily laden. Stevenson was not chosen for his graft, but truly upon his own record and it is to him that we all point when we wish to show outsiders what a Pharmic might be if he would only study. 137 ■ j - ■ •cfc ;1 m W$Bkfcji -x«l ■« « S 1 - Mfil. ii Junior pjarmtra— ' 10 OFFICERS.

Medical Class of 1909 go out to face the world, and make a worthy place in it for themselves, they will not go as mere beginners, as the term commencement usually signifies. For, although we are the smallest class, the very fewness of our numbers has resulted for our benefit, as we six have had a chance to do the practical work which many members of a larger class would not have had an op- portunity even to see. And if we may not do them just as they used to be done in Germany, nor call them just as they used to be called in Ger- many, we believe the American method is the method the people in Amer- ica want. While we are all anxious to establish ourselves and make our reputa- tions in our chosen profession as soon as possible, prove our worth by saving lives, and preventing - suffering wherever it is possible to do so; yet, it is with feelings of regret that we leave this great institution of learning, where we have spent several long and profitable years in acquiring a store of knowledge and experience, which, we trust, may have fully prepared us to begin our work of doing the most good for the world and its people. The friendships which were formed during these years of working and experimenting together are of more than passing note; yet after this commencement is over, we go our different ways, and some of us may never see each other again. 140 - 3umnr m btra — ' III President Julius Tretbar Vice-President Pinkney Townsend Secretary Ol iver Gilliland Treasurer Earl Clark The Junior Medic Class has arrived at that stage where it acknowl- edges with pride its subjugation to the majestic grandeur of our chosen profession. As Freshmen we valiantly advanced upon it full of confidence in our atxlity to master it in the four years which lay immediately before us. But as Sophomores we awoke to the startling fact that the battle in which we had engaged was not one of roses. Now as Juniors, with the endless vistas of medical knowledge stretching themselves out before us into a seeming infinitude of space, we humbly bend the knee and admit, without shame, that we are but neophytes worshiping at the shrine of Science in her noblest form. Our satisfaction in our achievements is second only to our pride in our school. No better opportunities and instruction could have been offered us anywhere. We have tried hard to assimilate all that has been given us, and we trust that when we come up for graduation, our record as a class will command the approval of our Alma Mater. i iptjflttuir? iHrirtra — ' 11 OFFICERS. President Arthur D. Gray. Vice-President Fred C. Powell. Secretary Frank R. Teaciienor. Treasurer John Bigger. Since our Freshman days it is astonislrng to note the development in the members of our class. Our class of last year would probably have returned in pure culture had it not been for the hand of Cupid inoculat- ing three of our members into a new culture — matrimony. Of the three, only one had the good fortune to be able to join the class for another year ' s work. This class has the distinction of being the first to introduce the honor system of conducting exanr ' nations in the University of Kansas. Under this, each individual is put upon his honor, giving the class authority to deal out expulsion in the case of an offending member. We are glad to say that our course has been wound up without recourse to such a measure. Leaving tlr ' s precedent behind us to be adopted by the Freshmen and subsequent embryos, we can safely predict years that will parallel the bril- liant one we have ourselves traversed. 141 Dennie Layton Brown FULLENWE1DER 3toBijman UriitrB — ' 12 Actuated by a love for the healing art and for work in general, the present Freshman class in Medicine gladly gave up their all to the treas- urer of the University and entered the realm of formaldehyde in Septem- ber of the year of our Lord 1908. From the time when we first assembled to have our way mapped out for us so it would be fixed in our minds, ' ' until that joyous day when the unexpected happened and everybody passed in Embryology, the class has been distinguished for its good-fellowship, due largely, perhaps, to closeness of association and community of r ' nterest, but als o to a fortunate congeniality. When a member is absent from a lecture, it is touching to note the fine sense of loyalty to the absent one that prompts each and every man to answer present in his behalf. This spirit of brotherhood, of generosity, reaches out and beyond the limits of the class. What could be more affecting than the action of the student, who, when he saw two apples on Dr. Sudler ' s desk, took one and left the other? Emerging from the murk of cyanates and cyanides, inspired by the martial tones of the organ of Corti, the Freshmen push aside the cribri- form fascia and peer through the saphenous opening to see the plexus ot a brighter day, a day when Freshmen shall be Sophomores and Sopho- mores shall be no more. 142 Taylor (Secretary) Rogers (Treasurer) Gragg (Vice President) Hemphill (President) %. 1. ©raining ri?onl— ' 03 No longer is our beloved Univer sity without the gentle heart to cheer, and the trained hand to soothe the ills of humankind. Arising from the depths of obscurity with no light to guide, the first and most illustrious class ever to be graduated from the K. U. Training School stands as a marvel of perfection. Other classes may be great, but the day can never come when the physicians will not long and sigh for the responsi- ble Four. Never again will methyl salicylate and guaiacol be so well and so vigorously applied. Never again will the chief surgeon receive such valuable assistance and advice; nor will nurses respond so quickly to his gently spoken requests. As to the morning star, it falls to our lot to announce to the world the awakening of a new day of which our Alma Mater shall be proud. Like pioneers of old, we have burst asunder the obstacles in our path and blazed a trail up the mountain side for future classes to follow. Victory is on our banner as we go forth doin g deeds of mercy and making smooth some of the rough places in life. To future classes we would say: Far- ther you cannot go; higher you cannot climb; but strive to equal the rec- ord we have established. 143 , .a W « O £ !5 cq 5 bp I £ o w r° ° O X o Oh Albert S.

How deep this feel- ing had spread as early as March 1, 1909, is best indicated by the fact that on that day some of the men most interested met in Fraser Hall and organized the Kansas Canoe Club. It has remained for these men to push aquatic athletics at the University. Previous to the year 1909 there were a number of canoes on the river, but there was little, if any, acquaintance among the canoeists. The Kan- sas Canoe Club has done away with this, and now the canoeists of the University are organized, taking periodical cruises and enjoying on these occasions among the customary delights of the canoeist an occasional spread in the form of a fish or frog dinner. The club is as yet very young, but still it has under way plans for securing a tract of land a few miles up the river, near Cameron ' s Bluff, and erecting a rustic club house. The club already has possession of the docks at the foot of Tennessee street, and has had them enlarged and im- proved. The primary purpose of the club is pleasure, and for that end the cruises and outings and the big regatta in May are held. The regatta, which is the annual exhibition of aquatic skill, is held on the Kaw at Lawrence about the middle of May. It is under the supervi- sion and direction of the club, but is open to all students of the University who wish to participate. Not only canoe races of various distances, but rowing, sailing, swimming and motor-boat races are given, with a grand melee, or tilting contest of all the canoes, as a finisher, to enhance the attractiveness of the program. Appropriate trophies are given to winners of some of these events. The officers of the club are : Captain John Power First Mate Ridley Pearson Second Mate George Russell CREW.

It was also intended to foster the con- nection which the school naturally has with the pharmacists of the state. Meetings are held bi-monthly to discuss business and scientific sub- jects relating to pharmacy and medicine. This year the society has had a series of talks on pharmacy laws by W. E. Higgins, a lecture on Adver- tising by Irving Hill, and interesting talks from various members of the faculty. The social feature of college life has not been neglected, several pleas- ant social evenings having been spent at special gatherings of the society. Officers for the year : } FALL TERM. President C.

Meetings are held every Thursday night and are open to members of all the classes. Three meetings in the month are given over to the review of technical journals, while at the fourth meeting some outside speaker is secured or a special paper is read by one of the members. On account of the rapid growth of the school and the unusual interest taken in the society this year, it was decided to apply for permission to form a student section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This permission was re- ceived early in March, and the local society reorganized as a student section of the national association, the twenty-two members of the local society becoming the charter members of the new organization. The forming of student sections is a new departure on the part of the national society, which has been very conservative in this matter, only three or four of the larger eastern schools having organized to date, and the action granting the privi- lege to the local society is considered as a recognition of the high standard of the engineering school here.

Several of the students and some professors have taken an interest in the furtherance of woman suffrage, in the desire for cleaner politics and better government, the avowed purpose of this organization. The League here is part of the National Equal Suffrage League, and at one of the two meetings which must be held during the school year, a speaker of national importance addresses the club. At the other meeting the local league furnishes its own speaker. A delegate is sent to the national meeting and another to the state meeting, in states where it is held. The League lent its influence to the petition to Congress for woman suffrage. Mrs. Olympia Brown Willis addressed one meeting this year. Her Skutarif?

The news is collected and edited by The Kansan Board, composed of about fifteen students. Position on the staff is secured by the election of the Board after candidates have shown their abilities along journalistic lines by try- ing-out for a number of weeks beforehand. The officers of The Kansan are selected from among those on the Board who do the best work, but anyone elected to an official position on The Kansan must have the recom- mendation of the Faculty Advisory Committee.

Kansas Hatoger The Kansas Lazvyer, the Law School paper, is published monthly in the interests of the Kansas University Law School and of the State Bar. It was founded in 1894 by the students of the law school, and is the only legal publication in the state. Vol- umes I to XIV inclusive averaged about twenty pages to the number, but the present board, believing a radical change necessary to the growth and usefulness of the paper, put it into regular magazine form, changed the policy and increased its size so that this year ' s paper averages forty pages an issue. The success of this plan is shown by the fact that our subscription list is double that of any previous year, and that over two hundred and fifty practicing lawyers of this state take The Lazvyer. It contains leading articles written by prominent judges and attorneys; Notes on Recent Decisions, written by members of the board ; An Index to the Syllabi ; Ed- itorial ; Alumni Notes, etc. Lawyers over the state have found The Lazvyer to be the quickest, most efficient and reliable way of securing the supreme court syllabi each month, as so far it has been the first paper to officially print them in its columns. Among those who have contributed leading articles are the following: Judge J. C. Ruppenthal, of Russell; H. J. Eaton, of Kansas City, Mo.; Henry T. Ferris, of St. Louis ; Stanley E. Bowdle, of Cincinnati ; Vice-Chancellor W. H. Carruth, of Lawrence ; John Q. U. A. Norton, of Lawrence ; W. R. Biddle, of Fort Scott ; Wil- liam Dunkin, of Independence ; Judge J. A.

Its primary purpose was to bring- together the faculty and students of the advanced English classes, especially interested in literary composition. With this object in view, the club has maintained its organization for ten years. Its history has been varied with many events closely connected with the University. There was a time a few years since when the club was on the point of dis- banding for lack of interest. But its members rallied, and the real growth of the organization on a substantial basis then began. Membership in the club is honorary, and is limited to the junior and senior classes. The meetings of the club, which occur on Tuesday after- noons, are devoted to the discussion of literature in general, and to the de- velopment of original prose and verse composition among the members. The emblem of the organization is two quill pens, formerly used by the Dons of Merton College, Oxford. This spring the club publishes its an- nual Quill, a collection of stories, sketches, and verse by the various members. The officers for the year have been : FIRST TERM.

As a result of its famous edition of the Lawrence Journal last year, it has a reputation unequaled in extent by any other organization in the University. Meetings are held twice each month, at which papers are read on news subjects and literary compositions are discussed. Meetings have been held at the Sigma Chi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Delta Theta, and Beta Theta Pi chapter houses, and at the Allemania Club house. Upton Sinclair of New York, Hamilton Holt of New York, Dr. van Eeden of Amsterdam, Holland ; Professors Robert Kennedy Dun- can and E. W.

The members who were graduated last year are holding positions of trust in various places over the United States. One is running a newspaper of his own in Kansas, two are managing editors of papers within the state, one is a traveling correspondent, a number are employed on metropolitan newspapers, and one has drifted into the profession of law.

Its membership is limited to law students and includes nearly all the men of the Law School who are actively interested in debating-. Of its forty members about twenty-five have been doing active work. The club meets every Friday afternoon in the Cooley Club room in the basement of Green Hall. Every program includes a debate on some legal question, or a question of political or economic interest. Much benefit has been derived from a series of parliamentary drills. The Cooley Club team this year — composed of Amick, McMullen and Schulman — again defeated the X. Y. Z. Society in the annual debate be- tween the two clubs. In inter-state debate, Cooley Club was represented by Merillat, leader of the Oklahoma team, and Lock, leader of the Missouri team. 169 X 34 F H G O CA .3 o bi a Cfl wm 2tyr Abating (Eomtrtl The Debating ' Council is an organization of the University which con- trols and manages all debates between Kansas University and other uni- versities and colleges.

The truest education aims to make one do his own thinking and his own work. The Young Women ' s Christian Association is based upon this principle of education. It is an organization of the young women of the University, an organization in which the young women attempt to supply for them- selves some of their own needs. Although the initiative in the organiza- tion comes from the girls, for greater efficiency the Association has a general secretary to supervise the work, and an advisory board to whom it looks for counsel. The purpose of the Association is five fold: 1. To develop and deepen the spiritual and moral life of the young women of the University, and to bring to them the conception that no part of their life lies outside of their religion. 2. To be the medium between the women students of the Univer- sity and the Churches of Lawrence. 3. To give practical aid to studen ts whenever they are :n need of it. 4. To be one of the agencies to create the best social standards. 5. To train young women to become efficient workers : ' n church and philanthropic organizations. OFFICERS— 1908-09. President. . ....

Cole Conspicuous among the commanding events in the daily life of our great University is the Young Men ' s Christian Association. It is conspic- uous in that it is filling a long-felt need in our midst. If it is anything, it is extremely practical as it is now conducted. It stands for Christian service, and aims to be a directive and regenerative force in sympathy and co-operation with all other means of elevating student life and thought. It stands for clean souls in sound bodies, against influences and temptations which all college men must face and with which few have had earlier ex- perience to enable them to meet the danger fairly and overcome it. It as- serts the right of Christ to control the whole of men ' s lives; to be the Mas- ter of every department of human life. Appealing, as it does, to Univer- sity men to be Christian students, Christian athletes, Christian citizens, Christian men, may we not hope that the organization will become increas- ingly a power for good until its influence extends through every county of our state, out into the larger service of our great country? Under the leadership of Secretary J. P. Hagerman, the University of Kansas Y. M. C. A. has begun a movement for a permanent home. In two years they hope to have a building on Mount Oread adequate for the needs of K. U. men. 179 far , fbj bS 09 o U pq s £ fa c d s b £ « ■ ■jff p P%j J P J £ -3 .6 DC s -= !

The Union meets fortnightly on Tuesday evening, either in one of the rooms of the Library or Main Hall, or at the home of one of the professors. The character of the discussions, which aim to bring out the frank opinions of the members on the matter under examination, renders the meetings of great value to all who take part. There is no restriction to membership beyond the signing of the constitution and payment of the small member- ship fee, and all who are interested in frank discussion of religious mat- ters without reference to creed or prejudice are invited to attend. 182 • iffluatrai anfc iramattr ©njattteaitottH GLEE CLUB ORCHESTRA BAND EMERGENCY BAND SENIOR PLAY MASQUE CLUB THESPIANS PRINCESS IDA JUNIOR FARCE OF ' 09 CLASS FRENCH PLAY fa 3d Z Oh o o U (Sir? (Elub This year was a highly successful one for the merry Glee-men of the University, who added something- to the standard of musical excellence that has been set by the club in previous years. For the third successive year the club put on a mixed program of classical and popular music, and pleased the music lovers as well as those who came but to be entertained. The first part of the program was given in conventional evening togs, but in the second half the boys appeared as the nifty chaps, in white ducks, shirtwaists and tennis hats, with a round of vaudeville stunts and take-offs that made a hit wherever they went. The club was under the management of Edgar M. Forde, who made the trips successful financially by his management. The club was under the direction of Professor C. Edward Hubach, head of the voice depart- ment, whose solo work was a feature of every program on the trips. Con- certs were given this year in the following places: University of Kansas, Tonganoxie, Holton, Soldiers ' Home (Leavenworth), McPherson, Eldo- rado, Strong City, Ottawa, Olathe, Emporia, Osage City, Manhattan, Abi- lene, Leavenworth, Hiawatha, and Topeka.

Power 185 ■ utyp llnferattg (§rri}?0tra Since the early clays of the University there were occasional attempts to form an orchestra, beginning with a group of players who organized under Mr. Newhall, a local bandmaster, and played consecutively for several years between 1868 and 1874. During the next twenty-five years orchestras were occasionally organized for special purposes, such as furnishing music for Commencement; but the first consistent effort began under Professor Farrell, Director of the Violin Department from 1889 to 1900. During the next two years, the Orchestra met at the home of Professor Carruth, and was composed at that time of three violins, a flute and piano. The following year a violincello player came to the University, enough players were added to dispense with the piano, and rehearsals were begun at Fraser Hall under the direction of Mr. Frank Carruth, a nephew of Professor Carruth. That year, the spring of 1903, the Orchestra made its appearance in chapel, playing the Tampa Overture by Herold. In the fall of 1903, Dean Skilton became leader and the Orchestra was enlarged to its present proportions. The Orchestra gives two public concerts each year, and furnishes the accompaniment for the Annual Opera by the Fine Arts Department, besides providing music for Com- mencement and other special occasions. The College Faculty grant one hour ' s credit for work in the Orchestra and members are allowed to wear the pin after one year ' s service. OFFICERS. President.. Professor W. H.

C. Mc- Canles and the faithfulness of every member. Praise for it does not alone come from the appreciative student body, who anticipate eagerly its concerts, but from Nebraska and Missouri, where they have individually and as a band contributed this very year largely to those glorious gridiron victories. Not only is our band the largest, but the fact that it is the best college band in Kansas is indisputable. With forty members , fully uniformed and containing solists on all instruments, it has proven itself competent in con- cert to handle the most classical and all standard music. In loyalty to old K. U., students would do well to emulate them, for their present efficiency is due to incessant practice and drilling each week. Without its loyalty many heavy-hearted Kansas warriors would have given up seemingly hopeless tasks, and we ourselves would have been de- prived of that inexpressible thrill which came to all on several occasions as our band took up the strain of Boola. The University is interested in the future of our band, and perhaps before long daily practice will be instituted. If the University decides to issue cred ' ts to the band the next step will probably be to install a cadet military drill for the students. Given this, the government would be in a position to support a military organization, and this would assure us a con- tinuance of the best concert band in the Middle West. INSTRUMENTATION. Prof. J.

When the regular band was in Lincoln and some sort of noise was needed to help out the excitement of the celebration of our victory over the Cornhuskers this aggregation of music decimators came to the front. Instruments were picked up from dark corners, junk heaps and second- hand stores, and, calling themselves the Emergency Band, they headed the triumphal procession down Massa chusetts Street. As one of the local papers put it, The noise was something awful, but they made a kind of music, and that was all that was required of them. They now rest on their reputation and await another chance to get into the limelight. Whenever they do they will come to the front just as readily as they did last November, and will make just as much noise in the interests of school patriotism. 190 i tttnr pag Director Elinor Lincoln Manager Tom Veatch Assistant Manager Walter Brown SENIOR PLAY COMMITTEE.

Izmiena is a realistic drama of college life, built upon the theme of professionalism in college athletics. The play opens a few days prior to the Kansas-Nebraska football game. Stephen Carr, the chief support of the team and the idol of the whole University has lately, through his love for Jane Welch, come to a realization of his position on the team; he is playing professional ball. No one knows this except Buckley, the coach, who had. discovered him in a small school of the Southwest, where our standards of football ethics are unknown, and had offered to pay his expenses to K. U. to get him to play on the team. Acting on Jane ' s advice, he makes a stubborn but vain attempt to withdraw from the team, but Buckley holds him to his contract. In the meantime Steele, an- other member of the team, becoming involved in financial difficulties and believing Kansas doomed to defeat in the coming game, has put up money on Nebraska, and when the odds suddenly swing round in favor of K. U. he is desperate. Through some unguarded words of Buckley ' s, and frag- ments of a conversation he has overheard between Carr and Buckley, Steele suspects that Carr is a professional. He has conceived a bitter jealousy and hatred for Carr on account of his evident success with Jane Welch, whom Steele also loves. Moved by these combined motives, he sends the information to Nebraska that Carr is playing professional ball. Just before the game Nebraska challenges Carr, who will not deny the charge against him. He is accused by Buckley of being a traitor, and the game is played and won without him. But Steele has overleaped himself, and his treachery is discovered by Jane. He hurriedly leaves town, and Stephen Carr is restored to the confidence of the team. He and Jane come to a happy understanding, and the play ends with a general jollification and a rousing K. U. chorus. This plot is original with the Senior Play Committee, who worked it out carefully in a local setting with many realistic touches, making the atmosphere of the entire play unmistakably local and suggestive of real 191 u u U u as iJ fc = u life in old K. U. Some widely known University characters, as well as several time-honored University institutions, have been immortalized here. Tubby, Josh, Tilly and the old-clothes man are familiar characters to every frequenter of the Hill, while the scenes on the way to the foot- ball game and the characteristic method of celebrating - the victory bring smiles of recognition to the faces of all who have ever breathed the intel- lectual atmosphere of Mount Oread.

Qllub In 1901 the desire among the students of the University for organ- ized work in dramatic art was satisfied by the formation of the University Dramatic Club. Asa part of their plans they staged one or more success- ful productions each year. The Dramatic Club in 1905 bequeathed its good will and fame to the organization now known as the Masque Club. One is entitled to membership in the club through showing himself worthy by his work in a speaking part of any of the club ' s plays. Open try-outs are held twice a year before each play, and the director of the club chooses from the contestants those who shall take part in the masque productions. Last fall the club presented A Royal Knave, a dramatization of If I Were King, and this spring the modern comedy-drama, In the Bishop ' s Carriage. In addition Madam Butterfly was given as a curtain-raiser. Miss Gertrude Mossier was the director for the year. The members are : President and Manager Roy K.

Lee This article chronicles the second year of the work and existence of the Thespian Dramatic Club at the University. The club was organized in 1907, and was very successful in its initial bow to the students of the Uni- versity and the people of Lawrence, both from a financial and artistic standpoint. It has developed even in its short history some excellent tal- ent for dramatic work. Both years it has been under the immediate super- vision of Mrs. Georgia Brown of Kansas City, which would be recommen- dation enough for any organization of this sort. The Thespians produced two plays this year, presenting The Climb- ers January 14th and 15th, which scored a great hit and much worthy mention, and As You Like It April 2 and 3. Members are selected for the club at a general try-out held each fall and open to all students of the University, while the members of the casts for the plays are selected from those so chosen. This organization stands for good scholarship, and one who neglects his studies while taking part in any of its performances will be expelled at least from the cast, if knowl- edge of such failure is comm unicated to the management.

While voice students are given the preference in assigning parts, members of the gen- eral student body are also admitted. Costumes are carefully selected and new scenery is prepared for each production. The first opera was The Pirates of Penzance, the second Patience, and this year The Princess Ida, all by Gilbert and Sullivan.

While the doings of - other years upon the football field may have been forgotten by one who scans back over the years past in athletics at the University of Kansas, the performance of the ever-victorious team of 1899 is remembered in de- tail. But a new- epoch has been started in K. U. athletics by the record of the ever- victorious team of 1908, and a new point has been established from which to reckon. In the second year of the Missouri Valley conference, Kansas carried off the championship in football without a single defeat to mar her record, and took the championship in basketball. In basketball and football Mis- souri and Nebraska have been worsted by the Jayhawkers with as much ease as it took to administer defeat to the weaker opponents in the Mis- souri Valley conference. Only four out of nine teams that Kansas played crossed the goal line, with a total of 20 scores to their credit, while Kansas ran up 131 points on her opponents. Perhaps the greatest surprise of the season was when the team and Uncle Jimmy Green went to Nebraska and brought back the scalp of the Cornhuskers. One of the hardest games of the season was the one played with Missouri at Kansas City, coming as it did four days after the hard Iowa game. The record of the football team has given Kansas the premiership in athletics in the Missouri Valley conference. The K. S. A. C. was the first opponent to score on the University, and from then on the score book is clean on the opposing teams ' side until the last three games. As a result of the good work done by the large squad of football players Kansas was so fortunate in having during the year, fifteen Ks were granted to players. As for the standing of the athletes of this year as to eligibility and amateur qualifications, no one has dared to even point the finger of suspi- cion. The eligiblity rules have been rigidly enforced, and more and more it is becoming a disgrace in the University for an athlete to be classed as ineligible. Clean men, clean playing,courtesy to opposing teams, and busi- ness-like management of the contests have made the University of Kansas highly respected among the teams of the Missouri Valley. This year Kan- sas bore the enviable distinction of being the only football team in the United States of any note to win every game played. 204 George Crowell (Captain) ifaatball i rijrimle anb jRrrnrft Kansas 11 Kansas 24 Kansas 12 Kansas 11 Kansas 10 Kansas 23 Kansas 20 Kansas 10 Kansas 10 Kansas.

George Crowell, called Pat, because his foreparents sojourned for a few centuries on the Emerald Isle, on their way to America from Europe, bears the enviable distinction of being the captain of the all-victorious football team of 1908. Pat holds down the position of right tackle, and dur- ing his four years has been known as one of the most con- sistent players on the squad. He weighs close to 180 pounds. His home is in Attica, a town said to be in Sumner county. Pat is 22 years old, a graduate from the law school this spring and a pet of Uncle Jimmy ' s, which however is not the only reason he is going to graduate, as Pat is a good student. TOM STEPHENSON. Tom Stephenson alternated with Dahlene at full back. He has also played with great promise at half. Stephenson weighs 186 pounds and is 20 years old. He comes from Holton, Kas. Steve played full back in the Missouri game. ' TOMMY JOHNSON. Tommy Johnson is not only a football star but a bas- ketball star and captain of next year ' s team and also a track athlete. It was owing to the head work of Tommy and the dexterity with which he handled the ball that much of the splendid success of the team during the season was due, for Tom plays at the responsible position of quarter. Johnson is a Junior in the College and a resident of Lawrence. He is another one of the famous athletes who became a fraternity man during the year joining Phi Delta Theta. Johnson was one of the great punters of the year. He weighs 158 pounds. 208 BILL CALDWELL. William Caldwell is a Junior Engineer who comes from the town of Geneseo, Kas. He played at right tackle and made a reputation as one of the really great tackles of the Missouri Valley. Caldwell was prominently mentioned as captain for the squad for next year. Billy is 26 years old according to old residents of Geneseo, and taught school be- fore he came to the University. No one ever heard of the eligibility committee getting after Caldwell. His weight is 180 pounds. HARLEY WOOD. Harley W t ood, of Ness City, was one of the new men on the gridiron who took a K this year. Wood hails from Ness City. He played in both the Nebraska and Missouri games, although he was kept out of a number of the games by injuries. He weighs 180 pounds. He is a Senior law. -STAN MYERS. One of the gridiron heroes of former days who won a K on the ever-victorious team this year was Stan Meyers, of Fort Scott, Kas. Stan was a K man when Pooler was captain of the team in 1905, but has played none since, owing to a bad knee until the last year. Myers played at half and was another one of the players who was put in the all-Western team class of players. He was one of the great ground gainers on the team. After the football season Myers left school. His weight is 160 pounds. 209 TUB REED. Howard Reed, of Kansas City, Kas., is the heavy man of the team, tipping the beam at 230 pounds. And Reed is not slow despite his weight. When properly incensed in a game by being slapped on the ear by a rude opponent, Tub sets his mind on making mince meat of the opposite team and he usually succeeds. For the past two years Reed has been known as one of the stars of the gridiron. Reed will graduate from the law school this spring. He has always played a guard on the team. CLARENCE STEELE. Clarence Steele, of Kingfisher, was the lightest man on the team this year. He was a sub quarter last year, but won his K this year at the same position. Steele, despite his light weight, was good on both the defensive and offensive. He weighs 142 pounds. JAY BOND. James Bond, alias ' Jay Bond, alias Lucky Bond, held the premiership during the great football season as the fleetest man on the team. Jay seems to be able to run fastest when he has a pigskin under his arm. Jay played a halfback on the team. He is a product of Lawrence, Kas., and a Senior in the College. During the year he skirted the ends of the opposing teams for some of the prettiest gains seen on McCook since the days of Pooler and Hicks. Bond weighs 182 pounds. 210 SWEDE CARLSON. Tohn Carlson comes from Kansas City, Kas. He is con- ceded to be the star center of the Missouri Valley teams. He was one of the gridiron stars who became a fraternity man during the year, joining Sigma Chi. Swede is the captain of the baseball team and one of the heavy sluggers. He weighs 182 pounds. This spring he graduates from the law school. BEN HENNESSY. Ben Hennessy was one of the first subs on the line and succeeded in making a K. Ben ' s greatest performance dur- ing the season was in breaking up the vaunted peek-a-boo play in the Nebraska game. Hennessy is a Senior Engineer and claims Fulton, Kas., as his home. His weight is 156 pounds. Ben is an end man. CARL PLEASANT. The next year ' s captain of the football team and one of the most popular men, not only among the football team, but among the entire student body is Carl Pleasant a Senior En- gineer. He is deft end on the team. Pleas comes from Lyndon, Kas. Pleasant was one of the fast men in getting down the field on punts. He was prominently mentioned s an end on an all Missouri-Valley team. He weighs 166 pounds. 4i - 211 OSCAR DAHLENE. Oscar Dahlene made his debut on the ' Varsity team this last year, although he is a third year man. He won his greatest fame as a place kicker and a line plunger. At the Xebraska game he played sensational ball, being directly the means of scoring all 16 points in the first half. Oscar is a Lawrence lad. He tips the scales at 156 pounds. CARROLL FISK. Carroll Fisk is one of the members of last year ' s Fresh- men who landed a place on the ' Varsity all-victorious team of 1908. Fisk is a Sophomore in the College. His position on the team was at half and he figured in some of the biggest gains made on opposing teams during the season. Fisk comes from Topeka. His weight is 164 pounds. BILLY RICE. Billy Rice ' s position on the team is at full back, but he is an understudy for nearly all the other players on the team and can hold down any position where offensive work is needed. Billy finishes the law school this spring. He is an old head on the team and has played football at his home in Topeka and at the Western University of Pennsylvania. Rice is 25 years old and weighs 172 pounds. . 212 Atljta of % (tea nf 1909 FOOTBALL Pat Crowell Clyde Wallace Clarence Dennis Carl Pleasant Oscar Dahlene Ed. Coulter Ben.

For the second time in the history of the game at the University the basketball team closed the season with championship honors. This despite the fact that the season ' s schedule of twenty-five games was one of the hardest ever played, and with the glori- ous record of only three defeats to their credit, and one of these did not come until the championship was securely tucked away under the belt of the Jayhawkers. The team was coached by Phog Allen, a basketball star himself, and, as he has demonstrated at the University, one of the best coaches in the West. Earl Woodward, a speedy guard, who is playing his second year on the varsity, was the captain of the champions of the Missouri Valley. Kansas started the season by winning nineteen games without a single defeat, which establishes a record for Western teams. They were then defeated by Washington by the small margin of two points in a very close game. Later before they won the championship they suffered a defeat at the hands of the University of Missouri team. This is how near the team came to tacking to its history the phrase of ever victorious, something which few if any basketball teams have ever succeeded in doing in inter-college athletics. The championship series was arranged in a new and novel way this year for the first time. It was under the Missouri Valley conference and the field was divided into a northern and a- southern division. Nebraska, Iowa and Ames composed the northern division, and Kansas, Missouri and Washington made up the southern division. Ne- braska won the undisputed championship of the northern division and Kansas the un- disputed title to the best team in the southern division. These two teams then met at Kansas City and the Kansas basketball tossers took the first two of the three games from Nebraska. Much credit undoubtedly belongs to Coach Allen for the brilliant record of the season, but he was fortunate in having one of the fastest squad of basketball men that was ever gotten together at the University. Johnson, McCune and Long, who played at forward, were without doubt the most accurate goal throwers in the Missouri Valley. At center Bergen and Heizer were not outmatched in a single game by a rival center. The position of guard is one that is often not given the credit that it deserves, because of the fact that the work of the guards does not show up in the score. But Wood- ward and Martindell, who held these places, were easily the match of the other guards in the conference games, and much of the credit for the record of the season belongs to these men, who kept down the score of the opposing teams. Tommy Johnson has been chosen to captain the team next year. INDIVIDUAL RECORDS. Goals and F. T. Fouls.

HAGERMAN Manager Athletics Track Coach 235 w Mm Wi a Uiake % ufcama Without Uncle Jimmy Green, any list of coaches at the Uni- versity would be very incomplete. Uncle Jimmy always give the ath- letic teams their final try-out in chapel before they start on a trip, and it is he who inspires the student body with the enthusiasm that has cost Nebraska at least two defeats. Uncle Jimmy has passed his seventieth birthday, but is just as fond of athletics as he was in his boyhood days before football was known. He has a reputation as an athletic prognosti- cator of which he is justly proud. In the good old days of ' 99 Yost, now of Michigan, turned out an ever-victorious football team at Kansas, but Yost was not hampered by any kind of eligibility rules, and he had the broad state of Kansas to pick from. It remained for Bert Kennedy to turn out an ever-victorious team under the new eligiblity rules and new football rules, despite the fact that Kansas played a much harder schedule this year than ever before. All the football coaches are what might be termed graduate coaches, as they are all ex-members of the Kansas football team. Kennedy was captain of the eleven of 1897. Assistant Coach Mosse is another one of the old Kansas gridiron stars. In 1906 he assisted Coach Kennedy and by his solution of the Nebraska formations did much to give Kansas that memorable victory. He worked untiringly on the coaching staff the last year, and Kennedy and all the players say he is entitled to much credit for the undefeated team. Carl Rouse, captain of the 1907 Varsity, coached the freshmen and made a team out of the first year men that in many respects was able to cope with the first team. Phog Allen of Kansas City has now two years in succession turned out a Missouri Valley championship basketball team. Phog is himself a star basketball player who won fame as a goal thrower on the K. C. A. C. five. He trained the team to go through one of the longest and hard- est seasons it has gone through with a phenomenal record to its credit. J. P. Hagerman is this year serving his last year as the coach of the track team. Next year he goes to California to take up city Y. M. C. A. work. Coach Hagerman has been somewhat unfortunate in not being able to turn out a winning track team at the University, but other numerous causes have been responsible. Hagerman has an abundance of enthusi- asm, and his optimism has become proverbial. Mills Ebright is this year ' s ccach of the baseball team. In 1904- Ebright coached the victorious Baker team, and since that time has been the coach at Missouri. He is a student in the Law School. 236 itti K W V A P X J hCWKIurt..

The Panhellenic Association of the University of Kansas was organ- ized in 1907 for the purpose of uniting the various Greek-letter, non- professional fraternities more closely, of accomplishing- things for the University that would be impossible without the united organization, and of regulating inter-fraternity affairs. The association is governed by a Council composed of two representatives from each of the e ' ght fra- ternities. The members for this year are: George March, President Grover Dolman, Vice-President Harold Harlan, Secretary Warren Bellows, Treasurer Tom Veatch Earl Rockefeller Morris Blacker Robert Banks (Sororities) Dick Adams Edward Markham Burton Sears Clay Shinn Howard Randall Herbert Luther Harold Armsby Frank Loucks The Panhellenic Association of the Sororities at Kansas University was first organized in 1905. The object of the association was to create a general governing body for all the Sororities which should have power to regulate methods of rushing and pledging, etc., and should serve to unify and broaden their work. This association consisting of two dele- gates from each Sorority, one from the active, and one from the alumna? chapter, has done much toward advancing good fellowship among the Sororities and toward increasing their influence and sphere of action. The present members of Panhellenic are: Elizabeth Stephens, Lois Stevens, Nola Ayres and Jennie Purdy. 262 pjt Srta IKappa The Phi Beta Kappa is the honorary fraternity of the college. Those members of the graduating- class who have the best grades are elected each year to membership. This year the following have been elected: Mabel Eggleston Fay Livengood Rup y Hosford Eugenie Sterling George Hiatt Maud Maffet Amy Merstetter Paul Faragher Gertrude Copley Addie Jackson Willard Wattles S tgtmt Xx The Iota Chapter of Sigma Xi was installed at the University of Kansas in 1890. It has always maintained a high standard of excellence here and stands high in the national organization of Sigma Xi. This is shown by the fact that the names of three Iota Chapter members ap- pear as national organization presidents. The present president of the national organization is Dean F. O. Marvin of the Engineering School. The honorary society of the Sigma Xi has for its object the promo- tion and encouragement of original research along scientific lines. Its membership consists of faculty members, graduate students and members of the Senior class who have followed or are following some line of origi- nal investigation and who give promise of future usefulness. New members are elected at three elections of the society during each year; the number from the Senior class not to exceed one-third of the number of scientific members of the class. During the elections of 1908-09 the names of seven faculty members and eighteen Seniors were added to the roll : Professors Glenn, Sterling, Corp, Ziefle, Dalton, Hartwell, and Wernicke; Senior class members, Bartholow, P. Faragher, Kackley, Lusk, McClure, Parmelee, Weidlein, Frichot, HofTman, Ball, Pulliam, Powell, R. K.

With apologies to whomsoever apologies are due.) First Spasm. We are the brigade that puts in the shade Every pirate that ever was made; Never afraid to march and parade, Carrying cookies and pink lemonade. Rake in the cash, feed ' em on trash, Glucose and wiener-wurst, rhubarb and hash. Cut up an overshoe, boil it and slash, Put in a clove or two, strain it and mash. Chorus of Spasms. Say, you, hurry up, do; All of the landladies feed ' em on stew; Prunes and potatoes, tomatoes and glue, Moldy old gingerbread, pieces of shoe; Jay, you, take it and chew. That ' s what the landladies do at K. U. Second Fit. We give you enough of beefsteak that ' s tough, Cold storage vegetables, only a bluff. Any old stuff that is warty and rough, Stir up in noodles or Jayhawker duff, Eggs that are dried, chicken inside, Gristles and bristles, and pieces of hide, Steaks from a tabby-cat, larded and fried, Lured from his habitat, slain in his pride. Grand and Sublime Convulsion. Our mutton and lamb we cut from a ram, Stir up the horns and the hoofs into jam. Really our ham is terrible sham, Fricasseed poodle-dog, not worth a Dam up your tummy with stuff that is gummy, Once in a while we get hold of a mummy; Cut out the bony part, save all the rest, Even the stony part ' s good when it ' s pressed. 281 ■P (With apologies to Edgar Allan Poe.) I. Once upon a midnight dreary, as I crammed all weak and weary, Over Cady ' s Chemistry, till my eyes were strained and sore, Up I rose and vowed perdition — Death — destruction — demolition! Then with a little contemplation of those good old tricks of yore, Came a little mild suggestion, for this never-ending bore, Down with study ! — nothing more. II. Now that grievous trouble ceasing ; pleasure, comfort, both increasing - , Gave my face that smile of gladness, that it never, never wore. For I had my trusty co-ed, Brown-eyed, dark, with hat of red, Heavenly, grand, heart-easing co-ed, never once did she get sore. How these days did give me pleasure, boat-rides, parties, as before. ' Twas my co-ed, — nothing more. III. Ah! my sad fate I was rueing, surely this was my undoing, Back to Ostwald, how I studied, always midnight o ' er and o ' er. Now my soul was all submission, Just imagine my position — Surely this was a condition, and I ne ' er had flunked before. Cruel, ungrateful, K. U. co-ed, woe is me beyond restore, Only this — but who wants more! 282 My Co-ed ' Pnlilirs Quotations from various K. U. celebrities. H. C. Waters — Something- to renounce entirely.

I am in for the boodle. Tom Veatch — Put the best man in office. I sometimes get there my- self. Martha Stough — It is a simple matter to make a person think that you are his best friend. Miss Galloo — An awful disappointment. The Freshmen — A good excuse for getting acquainted with upper classmen. 284 . My Country ' Tis Not of Thee I Sing. Dedicated to Dean Hoxie.

For weeks I had been struggling with the problems of animal classification, until at last a deep despair seized upon me. By chance, one day, I found myself in chapel gazing upon the imposing assemblage on the platform — Deans, Professors, Assistants, and Instructors, no two alike. And as I gazed, I slept, and as the speaker of the morning talked, I dreamed. An imp appeared. You are dead. Come with me, he said. I followed. Our descent was long and painful ; at last it ended before a great tribunal. My sentence was read : Lead him to the lowermost laboratory. It was a great, ponderous-doored room. Arranged on shelves in tiers to the ceiling were great jars of specimens in fluid. In one end of the room was a case labelled, mummies, and some large, leather-covered books were piled in one corner. A great table covered with all sorts of instruments of precision occupied the middle of the room. You will find here all the instruments of science ; in yon tomes is the summary of all human scientific knowledge. It is decreed that as your first task you shall classify the specimens before you. In those jars and in the mummy case are the Professors you knew at old K. U. We got most of them — very ' few took the elevator upward. Approaching the doorway, I heard him say, In ten thousand years I come again. The door crashed shut. Such was my task. For months I raved and cried, Impossible ! But soon I set to work. For years, and scores of years, I worked, until all track of time was lost, but all in vain. My search for generic and specific characters was fruitless. To my surprise, many familiar forms at first could not be found in that great collection, and I was about to give up all when I discovered, in the fluid at the bottom of some of the jars, small parasitic forms which had dropped from the specimens. These, when ex- amined under the highest powers of the microscope, were recognized as assistants, in- structors, fellows, and scholars. Nine thousand years were gone — my task was yet unfinished. Through that last thousand years I toiled as no ten shades could do. On the evening of the last day, when the last specimen had been returned to its jar, the last mummy labelled, and the last character inscribed upon my parchment, with a noise like thunder, the door of that great laboratory began to open — I awoke to hear the Chancellor announce in familiar tones, You are dismissed ! As I neared the chapel door my eye fell upon a sheet of paper in my hand, bear- ing inscriptions in writing strangely like my own. Sinking into a seat I read with amazement the following document : 291 f arttal 2C?g to tty Jffantltg Division I. The tallest man in the University Chancellor Strong Division II.

The matter is quite practical, he told his class one day, Despite disparaging remarks the comic papers say; If happiness you fish to find, there ' s not a one but can Indulge in agriculture on an economic plan. And so quite carefully he bought a spotted bossy-cow, A lop-eared mule, some wagon wheels, a second-handed plow; He planted an alfalfa patch, and made some wooden pens In which to put his swine and hogs and little guinea-hens. He built these pens himself, you see, avoiding woeful waste And sawed and planed and hammered them with rare aesthetic taste ; He only used a pound of nails, — he was a cautious man And he was building pig-pens on an economic plan. Now late one winter evening when he ' d gone to bed at night, Attired in pink pajamas economically tight, He heard a fearful squealing, and his wife sat up in bed, I do believe those pigs are out, get up and see, she said — For she had grown so like him, she was economic too And never used a word entire, when half a word would do. As swine are very nimble beasts, and time was rather pressed, He sallied forth to chase them economically dressed. The night was dark and sleety, and the piglets rather shy, They looked on such a costume with a very cautious eye. He coaxed them and cajoled them till his nose was cold and blue; Then Mrs. Economical came out to chase them too. Just then a Freshman student in the hay-mow overhead, Who milked the spotted bossy-cow for daily board and bed, Woke up and pounded on a pail; the pigs came home to dine, For they had been brought up, you see, as economic swine. 298 Sty?

She never accepts a seat from a gentleman in a street car. 6. She never forgets her ballroom engagements, or refuses to dance with one gentleman and immediately dances with another. (If she likes the first gentleman.) 7. She never snubs other young ladies even if they happen to be more popular or better favored than herself. (It wouldn ' t pay.) 8. She never laughs or talks loudly in the library. (Because she doesn ' t dare.) 9. She never wears clothing so singular or striking as to attract at- tention in public. (If she hasn ' t any of that kind.) 10. She never speaks slightingly of the professors. (When the pro- fessors are around.) 11. She never says that she doesn ' t care whether her conduct meets with the approval of the S. G. C. or not. (She only tries to make it meet its disapproval.) 12. She never permits gentlemen to join her on the street unless I hey are very intimate acquaintances. (Or unless they have candy or nre near Wiedemann ' s.) 299 mm At the Freshman-Sophomore Debate No doubt you have heard of the State University, Perched upon top of Mount Oread hill, Offering courses of greatest diversity, Go to Dean Templin and take what you will. Physics and Botany, Greek and Geology, History, Chemistry, Spanish and Art, Most of the students enroll in Spoonology, That is a science that deals with the heart. Artie ' s exceedingly good in Epigraphy, Phi Beta Kappas exclaim over Zeus. Daddy, they say, is immense in Stratigraphy, Works all his classes and shirks like the deuce. Boodin has discovered a proper Theology, Based on a liberal up-to-date plan. Most of the Thetas prefer Sociology, That is the study that tells about Man. And if you acquire a dislike for Geometry, Before to Prof. Van you confide your distaste, Remember he can by applied Trigonometry Measure the arc of an arm to a waist. Zealous young co-eds in Social Pathology, Blushingly analyze feelings of bliss, Many a culture in Bacteriology Grows from the microbes absorbed in a kiss. Miss Neuen Schwander ' s French is the purest vernacular, Dear Uncle Charley is peaches and cream. We love Uncle Jimmy, although he ' s spectacular, And vote economics a genuine dream. Miss Lynn is delightful in Browning and Tennyson, Murray ' s acquainted with Venus and Mars, But Miller ' s the man that we bless with our benison, Teaching his students to gaze at the stars. Hunter ' s authority very notorious, Duncan has written a wonderful book. Aunt Carrie Watson ' s a trifle censorious, Won ' t let us whisper or scarce even look. If Lessing you care for, or German Mythology, For Herder or Schiller, enroll with Carruth. Kappas more often in Modern Spoonology Struggle to realize Platonic Truth. So, if you ' re romantic, pedantic, or logical, Cynical, finical, very blase, Dramatic, erratic, or etymological, Or mathematical, hear what we say ! If you attend these instructions implicitly You will know how you should go through the mill ; Read all the catalogue very explicitly, Go to Dean Templin and take what you will. 301 Utye IRrbfi nnh lljr £foar Hefts Publication: The (brick) Bat.

His Scientific Knowledge gained from Constant Companionship with Bindeis ana Culti- vators induced him to take up the Study of Engineering. When it came to Ambition he was right on the Job, but he Bid Fair to take it out in Ambition. He was also Foxy, and one of these Show-Me Guys, so when he learned of the Roost known as the Fifth Floor, he was all for Going Up. The Juniors who had put the Bug in his Ear didn ' t Tie very many Weights to his Feet, so he went. The Senior Civils nabbed him and Ap- plied the Gad in the right Spot. When he came Down again he had De- posited one of his If-they-wear-out-hside-of-six-months - send-them-back- and-we ' 11-give-you-a-new-pair ' s on the Official Clothesline, and for some Time afterward he Experienced some little Difficulty in Assuming a Sit- ting Posture. Moral: It served him Right, but They should have been Ashamed of Themselves. THE MORNING AFTER 66%— ZZVs 309 torg nf % Stolen Ibnnattia There was once a Rum Bunch at K. U. who were Counted as Fallen angels. Now these Geeks had made an Agreement among Themselves that they were some Rough, but when the Clan, for that was what they Dubbed themselves, met one night, they Awoke to the Fact that the Im- portant Factors of K. U. were getting Wise, so they Decided to make a great Splash. They did a Society stunt that made Prince Pepperell look like the Advance Agent for an Employment Bureau. They voted down such suggestions as House Parties, Taffy-Pulls and decided to Sponge off some of the Easy Churches. When they Caught the Fever they had it Hard. They were glad that the Churches were close together so that they could Take in More than one Session in one Trip. Church Feeds were their Long Suit and their Free Lunch Grabbers worked like Steam Shovels. This Fussing, as they found out, Paid. Their damaged Halves were mended in the Sight of their Fellow Men and they could with perfect Grace Gnaw off the Southeast Corner of a piece of Horseshoe, Pocket the remaining Sandwiches and depart to Conquer other Worlds. The Minor Circles of Society had just begun to Expound on the Ail- Around Embracing Virtues of our Heroes when the crash came. It was upon one of these Pilgrimages that the Dubs showed their Mugs at an Eatin ' held in a Swell Dump decorated with Fluffy Stuff, Pen- nants and other Junk. These Mutts did the society Stunt right. When they Left, most of the Trimming which Adorned the Wall was also Found to have Occurred elsewhere. In other Words, it was Gone. Soon a Meeting was called of all the Detective Talent in the congre- gation. Some Broken Down Sleuths were set on the Trail and with their Noses to the Ground they set out Making a Noise that was not unlike a Grey Hound talking to a Rip Saw having a nightmare. Fourteen Long Weary Days did they wait, and through days of Labor and Nights devoid of Ease did they think of some way of bringing about a Painless Extermination of these Pests. Giving them time to Pin up all this Trash, the Detectives had the city Dog Catcher station his Depu- ties around the clan ' s Den and send an Agent up to Break the News. He was Admitted, Initiated, etc., but no such Decorations did he Find. He cast his Glims over the Walls, reading such Posters as Plain Sewing Neatly Done Here, Smile, D - - n You, Smile, and Lastly a Motto,.

In fact, she was Quite Popular, and got in on pretty much all that was Doing in the way of Blowouts. She may have Powdered to Beat the Band, but you couldn ' t tell it at a Dance, and at the Skating Salon you were too Busy to Notice. Anyway, she put up a pretty good Front. One Geek in particular thought she was All the Candy, so he Purchased her an Ice-cream Cone and asked her to go Skating with him next Friday night. After one of those coy little Hesitations, she finally consented, conveying to him the Impression that he was Pretty Lucky to get in on the Deal. He was Mooning over a Law-book, about what a Deucedly clever Fellow he was with the Girlies, when another Guy slipped in and asked her to go to a Class Party that same Friday night. Naturally, she preferred the Dance to the Free-for-all, so she gave a Correct Imitation of a Law trying to get an Engineer to sign his Student Council Petition, and told Swain No. 1 how Truly Sorry she Really was, but her Mother was coming, and so forth. He Downed it with about as much Ease as the Chancellor finds in Conjuring the Sheckels out of the State Treasurer ' s Pocket, but he Swallowed it, nevertheless, and Went his Way, till next Day he happened to compare Notes with No. 2. They happened to be on Intimate Terms with each other, so they proceeded to produce a little Language like Father used to make, and No. 2, who had a Keen Sense of Humor, called up aforesaid Demoiselle and told her how Sorry he was, but mother .

U., one long- and the other short, and they were Some Pumpkins. In fact, they were so Wise that they could not Act like Other People. In other Words, they were Bores, but they weren ' t Next to it. Now they saw in the Gloomy Corridors of Fraser, a Student, masculne gender, whom they thought was It, but the Mash wasn ' t Mutual. They Visited this new Pal of theirs Real Often at his humble abode, and in fact, wore out their welcome, but not being like other People, they never Tumbled. So, one Evening, our poor Friend, after being Bored by these two- Augurs for three Hours, gave one of his colleagues the Wink. He, being- a Student, knew in a M ' nute that Something was Doing. While our two- Educated Friends were loudly laughing at one of their Antiquated Chest- nuts, the Sufferer told his Scheme to his Rescuer-to-be. While our Math- ematicians were Convulsed in Laughter at Why is a Cow, the two Students slipped out, locked the two Sapheads in the Room and Betook themselves to the Nickels. There they had a great Time, C 02 being a joy beside the Gas they had been Breathing for the last three Hours. About midnight, re- turning they found that the two Jaybirds had Escaped by a Ladder made of Bedclothes, Exit being taken through a Hole in the wall left by the Carpenter to let such Gas escape. But now the Profs take that Insult for a Huge and Tremendous Joke, much to the Chagrin of the poor Victim. Their prolonged Calls still occur at frequent Intervals. Moral : The Sum of two Bores is greater than the Distance to the Nickels and back. — Q. E. D. Just Back From Nebraska. 314 Once there was a Doc at K. U. who Taught the Scientific Art of Bumming Handouts and of doing Slum Duty to the Young Hopefuls who had Placed themselves in his care. This Freak Trait of his made him Celebrated around the Temple of Knowledge, and even to the Four Corners of the Village. He was Tickled about himself — thought himself some Dope. The good People didn ' t know much of his sinister Calling, but he gained much Renown among them. Soon he attracted the attention of the Man who made Lawrence famous, — Bowersock, who came to the Tabernacle to tell his Victims about it. Now, among this Doc ' s Acquaintances were some men of great influence in the East Bottoms of the Settlement. One Night as he lay on his downy Bed, trying to think of some means of working up Enthus- iasm in his Hobby, a Thought struck him. When the Birds began to yell, and the grass to turn pink, he would take his charges over to see some of his East Lawrence Friends. But these influential Friends were not next to the Art of being In- fluential and also Keeping away from the Fins of the Law, so when Sol was in his Glory once again, our Hero had to take his Flock over to the Fold, where the State keeps her Wandering Sheep. Frankie thought that, as he was as Famous as Kemp, surely Every one in the space occupied by Kansas would be next to his Phiz and Fall on his neck and weep. But ' twas not so. The Leavenworth cops were the only officials who looked his Way, and in his Despair, he applied to the guardian Angel of the Wayward Sisters at the House of Correction. Telling his Gang to turn their Lamps in his Direction, he made Good as a Professional and very Capable Goat. You Surely know Me, he said, Extending his hand; but here He Experienced what Keilman does every day. The matron Turned on him and growled: I never Saw or even Heard of you before. When did they Let you Out? Moral : Keep the Estimation of Yourself at an average Height and it Won ' t have so Far to Fall. A f ntmg Hafoger b iFtrat fflaae Once upon a Time, there was a Senior Law, who contracted a Case, which he could not Remain in School to Cinch, with a Fair Lower class- man. Not wishing to Leave Her at the mercy of the Rough College Boys after he had graduated, -he Besought a Bosom Friend named Gussie, to Hold it Down for Him while He was out in the Cold, Cold world gath- ering together a pile of Rocks, big enough with which to Establish the Foundation of a Home in a little Cottage Built for Two. Although the 315 m Bosom Friend had never seen the girl in question, He was a True Sport and agreed to Monopolize the case through Thick and Thin, provided all Expenses were Paid, and no Limit established to the amount of Goo. Everything went along Swimmingly so far as Anyone could Tell. Gussie did his Stunt without a Broken Line, to the satisfaction of all con- cerned, including the young Lady Herself. Although the poor Struggling Lawyer in Emporia sometimes thought that the Monthly Expense Ac- count was rather High, He Dug up without a Murmur, when He re- ceived a Perfumed Epistle from the Dear Co-ed, telling how perfectly Lovely she was being Treated. Now when Commencement Time came and the Aspiring Young Law- yer who was having His case Held Down, came to visit His Dearly Beloved, He found that instead of Having a case Held Down for Him, He had been Held Up for a Case, and that He was so Far in the Back- ground that He could not even Detect the Powder on the Young Lady ' s Face, although he could see Large Splotches of it on Gussie ' s Shoulders. Moral. If you want a Thing done well, do it Your self. All $all ta lifatb 3ntn (§tu $art Once upon another Time, there was a College widow, with Leanings toward the Stage and the Boys, who was accustomed to haunt the Swellest Ice Cream Blind Tiger in Town, especially if there were any of the Fellows in the vicinity. One day it Happened that She and a Lady Friend went into the Joint just in front of two of the College Boys and Accidentally they were all seated around the Same Old Cracked Marble Center Table. Four Batches of the Goo that Cheers but does not Inebriate were Dished up together with a little piece of paper which was placed by chance near the elbow of one of the Guys. While the Fair Damsels Noisily Imbibed through two paper wheat Stems, the Chaps, Wild-eyed with Fear of an Impending Financial crisis, Hastily Absorbed the two Tumblers of Dope in the Old-Fashioned way, and Departed in such Pre- cipitate Haste that they Forgot to Excuse themselves to the Ladies, and also Absent-mindedly Neglected to take along the Insignificant Bit of white Paper with two Holes punched in it. The College Girls hastily followed Suit, Bringing Up the Rear with the little Checque. When the Theatrical young Lady saw the first young man finally Excavate two Small thin Pieces of the Root of all Evil and Whisper Two to the Severe Girl be- hind the Bars, she Forged bravely to the Front and murmured in her Disdainful stage whisper, Just charge this to .

Now I am glad to say that I am not troubled with them in the least, although I occasionally take your sup- plementary S. G. C. Tablets to ward off any attacks which might appear. M. P. My Dear Doctor : — When I first began to take your medicines the effect was not just what I had anticipated. I could not have chapel dates two mornings in succession with the same fellow. But now after considering the matter for some time, I am quite con- vinced that they are just what I wanted. 1 recommend them to all girls who love a va- riety. I. C. SYMPTOM BLANK 1.

They rose from comfortable sleep and found the snow was two feet deep. Alas, they heard Moneta say, no buggy rides for me today, Unless dear Milton hires a sleigh. Oh, what a dreary sort of day. And all the other ladies fair went wildly clawing at their hair, Till Helen — what a hapless lot ! — did dislocate her Psyche knot. At last one maiden, sore distressed, a little wiser than the rest, Climbed up upon a parlor chair, and, speechifying, sawed the air. Dear sisters, listen to my rede, for it is very good indeed. Since livery rent is rather dear at this especial time of year, And youths are canny, much I fear today we ' ll have no callers here. But shall we let our sorrow show? Here all her sisters shouted, No. ' Tis sure no men will come ; and so, we ' ll fabricate a man of snow. They all acclaimed the artful plan, and sallied forth to make a man. ■ The snow balls rolled across the yard, as all the sisters labored hard, And yet, despite their woolen wraps, their hands began to feel the chaps, Not of the human species, though, but such as oft reside in snow. The air was sharp, the north wind blew, and so were all their noses, too; But quite as well as, ladies can, they labored on to make a man. Then, all at once, the work stood still, and all was silent on the Hill. Bernice and Patty, in a ring, two icicles were brandishing, And it was very evident that they were both on slaughter bent. Cried Bernice, If you make him tall, I will not help you girls at all. The only way a man should be is just about as tall as me, With dark brown eyes and palid skin, and nose so prominent and thin. Cried Patty when the other ceased, A man should be six feet at least, With hazel hair and light blue eyes, the color of his azure ties ; He must be tall, or else I ' ll go away and leave your man of snow. And Patty emphasized her choice by elevating nose and voice. 320 Then Mildred thrust herself between the icy swords so sharp and keen. ' ' Let nothing- interrupt, said she, our sacred vow of fealty; Let bonds fraternal be above all mediocre ties of love; Be sensible like me, and place a sort of comic picture face, A long - , uneven-scalloped head upon an awkward frame, she said. But don ' t forget upon his brow to twine a chaplet out of snow, And set above the statue droll, a saintly shining aureole. What care I for the men, said she, while my dear brother cares for me? Then resolutely seized a thick and rather knotty sort of stick, This hefty sapling, I design, to serve my brother for a spine. ' Tis somewhat stronger than his own, but snow men need a good backbone. But Helen pounced upon her then. I like another sort of men. We ' ll give our man light hair and eyes, tho ' make him of a similar size ; His nose must tumble toward the ground, a sneer upon his lips be found. Not of ill nature, just to show, he knows much more than others know. The sisters now had ceased to toil, and all had mingled in the broil ; With flashing eyes and doubled fists, each damsel on her rights insists, And Tessie shouted constantly, No blue eyes and light hair for me; A tall dark man, with deep brown eyes, bedecked in Ober ' s spring supplies Will suit me best; no other plan will build a suitable snow man. At once Moneta butted in : Now girls, it really is a sin To have you standing quarreling there. Of course, a snow man should be fair, With pink and white complexion sweet, that ' s nearly good enough to eat. His grin must reach from ear to ear. Oh my, won ' t our snow-man be dear? Just then, another voice replied ; ' twas Ruth who would not be denied, But she must have the snow-man tall, or else would have no man at all. Snow is too white for men, said she, for Cole-black everything should be; Broad-shouldered, tall, the sturdy whole, should straightwav be composed of Cole. I quite agree, said Amarette, the big man is the kind to get, If you can find one rather wise, and very fond of exercise. 321 II But Hazel had a word or two, as ladies very often do. I can ' t believe that men should be constructed so stupendously, The way that I would have a man, is just as solid as you can, Not very tall, not very lean; just perfect — you know how I mean. Then all the Pi Phis cried, Oh, yes ! It isn ' t very hard to guess. Then each one set to make a man, upon her individual plan, And strange and wonderful the scene enacted on the Pi Phi green. Each separate sister tried to fight for measurements she thought were right. Hat pins were out, and blood and snow were streaming from each doughty foe As round the warring factions fought about the snow-man they had wrought. There might have been none living left and many faithful swains bereft, When moon-beams on Kaw river play, of many a pleasant tete a tete, If musically a sleigh-bell ' s chime, had not disturbed them just in time; As Milton gravely hove in sight to end the sanguinary fight. Abashed the manless maidens fled, their snow-man left without a head; While through the town Moneta sped in Milton ' s livery-stable sled. 322 i (ftlippmga iFrom % PLAGUE THREATENS K. S. U. The angel of death hovers over the University in form of a new and dread plague known as measles-mumps. Several members of the Fi Delt fraternity have been attacked by the terrible scourge. Their house has been quarantined and all persons forbidden to enter the yard. The Kappas cannot even talk across the gap. So dreadful and contagious is the new disease that the city board of health has issued imperative orders that no couples go strolling after seven o ' clock. Many giddy young peo- ple think the order simply a hoax on the part of the week-night date committee. Their disregard of the wishes of the city health officers makes the situation more desperate. Hundreds of persons are suffering in the throes of great agony. Joseph Murray was suddenly taken last Monday night at the home of Professor Sterling. Riley is suffering from measles, the first stage of the disease. Miss Erna Rudolph, Ike Lambert, Cy Morrow and Edgar Markham are also among the sufferers. Unless the ravages can be stopped the school will soon be depopulated. Special physicians from the Senior class at Rosedale will come to aid the regular staff in warding off the dark messenger of death. Mcknight - march The marriage of Mr. George March and Miss Dorothea McKnight last evening at the Phi Psi Fraternity house was a most elaborate affair, long to be remembered by those who were favored to be the guests. Long before nightfall the people began to arrive and at eight o ' clock the house was ablaze with light and crowded with a happy excited throng. At exactly eight o ' clock Mendelssohn ' s March, played by Miss Bertha Kil- worth, hushed the uproar of conversation into silence and the young couple marched out, and stood under a tasty bower of symbolic emblems in the Bay Window. j The bride was beautifully attired in a lace curtain gown and wore a long veil which streamed gracefully over her whole figure. The groom wore the conventional black. The impressive ring ceremony was per- formed by the Rev. Ralph Spotts. After this an elegant supper was served in the dining room to which fifty or more guests did ample justice. The table groaned under its bur- 324 den of the delicacies of the season. After the supper the bride pinned forget-me-nots on all the guests present. The numerous and costly pres- ents testified to the esteem in which the young- couple were held, and the presence of so many of their antecedents bore witness to the wide rela- tionship they have to the people of Douglas County. The chickens were crowing before the party began to disperse, and the electric lights were out as the guests drove swiftly homeward in their automobiles. SENSATIONAL DIVORCE Weeping bitterly, the beautiful Mrs. Richard Breenough Daring took the stand this morning in district court as first witness against her husband, Richard Daring, in divorce proceedings which she herself brought ag-ainst h ; m, naming Mrs. Mabyl Hardwick Kreg, a prominent K. U. society woman, as co-respondent. Between sobs Mrs. Daring charged her lord with desertion and cruelty, stating that he had given all his time for the last three months to Mrs. Kreg and the large St. Bernard dog, jack, that was present at the trial. He will be used as a witness later on. It seems that Daring left his spouse entirely alone and without protection during the football campaign. During those stirring times when many a heart was wrung with anguish for a loved one, she did not hear a word from him. Her testimony was almost incoherent and twice she was on the verge of a collapse. She was dismissed to re- gain her composure. Daring next took the stand. I have lost my happy home, I know, he sighed wearily. It wasn ' t my fault and I don ' t give a darn. All my life I have had trouble with women, and I ' m glad it ' s nearly over. He denied emphatically his wife ' s charge that he was seen with Mrs. Kreg on Fraser Hall steps at 11 :56 the evening of April 1. Daring shifted un- easily in his chair. He showed the effects of a severe mental strain. During the fusilade of questions fired at him by Horton Thompson, the prose- cuting attorney, Daring became confused and admitted that he had taken Mrs. Kreg to breakfast April 13. Mrs. Daring- and Mrs. Kreg, the chief actors in the dramatic scene, were watched intently by a large crowd of the upper crust of K. U. society. The court room was crowded with women. The social prominence of the 325 principals and the sensations that are expected kept the audience in a flut- ter of expectation. Mrs. Daring wore an elaborate gown of taupe broadcloth built on the directoire plan. It was recently purchased in Paris from the famous modiste, Madame McGinnis. A large Jonesboro hat completed her cos- tume. Mrs. Kreg was daintily attired in a beautiful wisteria morning gown, constructed on the wrapper idea. The women stared coldly at each other as the examination proceeded. Tub Reed is making the plea for the defense. Daring ' s testimony ended the morning session. Mrs. Kreg will be called as the third witness. A BRUTAL MURDER Goaded to desperation by the knowledge of a large deficit in his mental reserve, Ward Coble attacked and brutally murdered his former friend, A. Quizz early this morning in a room of the Law building. He made no attempt to escape after committing the dastardly deed, and seemed to exult in his crime. He was extremely hilarious, evidently feigning in- sanity. The students who saw the affair say the attack came in the most unexpected manner. Coble had been chatting pleasantly with Quizz for several minutes, when he was heard to exclaim, At last I ' ve got you? Take that and that and that ! striking his victim furiously with a loaded pen. The hum of busy workers in the Law school stopped and the stu- dents rushed to separate the combatants. They reached the spot too late. Quizz fought gamely, but was taken unawares and was dead when his friends reached him. Coble coolly kicked the prostrate form and smiled as he waited for the officers. When arrested he said that it was either his life or that of Quizz. He and Quizz have had trouble for several years, but Coble never seemed to take it seriously. Quizz was a harmless fellow and had many friends among the best men of the school. Coble told the police that he had been a student at the University for several years. The officers discredit the story and are collecting evi- dence to prove the contrary. Coble was unable to raise the bail of 59 cents and was taken to jail. He is confident of acquittal on plea of self-de- fense. If this fails he will plead temporary insanity. He is now awaiting his preliminary hearing. 326 Medical Building Snow Hall 1 «■ NICKELODEON TO BE CLOSED. The University Nickelodeon will be closed by the authorities unless certain objectional pictures are taken from the list of attractions. The picture causing- the most trouble is the Evening- Call of Mr. Merrillam. It shows a sentimental couple on a front porch spoomng ardently. The managers of the theater refuse to take the picture out of the show as it is one of the best drawing cards. Citizens object to it on the grounds that it will have a bad effect on the freshmen. ARRESTED FOR KIDNAPPING. Miss Georgia Smart, a prominent K. U. society woman, was arrested at the Kappa Alpha Theta house to-day on charge of kidnapping little Archie Beard, who disappeared from home several months ago. He was seen walking along the street this morning with Miss Smart. Detectives were informed and made the arrest. RUMMELL IS DEFEATED The returns from nineteen precincts show an overwhelming defeat for Rummell, the independent candidate for junior law presidency. The battle is lost for Rummell. He and his friends have conceded victory to Wilson, the opponent. At the end of a most exciting campaign in which every- thing seemed to point to the laurels of victory, the downfall of his hopes came as a complete surprise. Mr. Rummell, R. C. Johnson, his campaign manager, and a crowd of friends received the returns over the phone at the Rummell residence on 413 West Adams street. Rummell was silent but confident. He smiled cheerily as the first reports began to ring in. Boys, we ' ve got them going, he said as the first three votes came favorable to him. Send out and get some cigars. Let ' s have a time. The smile faded from his face as the reports continued to come in. Something was wrong. Some new and unexpected enemy had appeared that showed surprising strength. First ward 203 -for Wilson, gasped Johnson at the phone. 328 Who in blazes is he? asked Rummell excitedly, spilling- a bottle of ink on his new Garden City Co. tailor made suit. He did not have long to wait. Increasing returns showed Wilson to be the winner beyond a doubt. Rummell ' s intellectual brow was wrinkled in thought. Never mind, boys, he said, I went into this fight on the advice of my friends and if they turn against me in the last moment I can at least die game. I have no statement to make to-night. Leave me and let me rest. The crowd dispersed at the command of their chief. Johnson posted a bulletin on Lee ' s Place admitting defeat of independent candidate. Kansas City, Mo., March 26. — The University of Kansas track team won from Missouri in an exciting meet in Convention Hall this evening. The score was 70 to 15. Missouri did not take a single first. NEW YORK THEATRE LETTER New York, Dec. 5, 1915. Miss Dorothy NcMight, formerly of the Masque Club of the Univer- sity of Kansas, is starring on the Bowery in one of Earle Grant ' s new plays, The Beau Catcher. The first act introduces us to the hero, a foot- ball player in one of our great American universities. A very sensational football game is shown in the second scene of this act in which the hero wins the victory for his college by a field goal kicked near the close of the second half of the game. The crowd goes wild and he is carried away in triumph. This act wins for him the heart of the heroine. Two years lapse between the first and second acts. The lovers quarrel and the heroine immediately becomes enamoured with a young army officer. One of the strongest and most unexpected emotional parts of the play is the utter indifTerence with which the heroine treats this break with the football hero. Act III. shows the heroine still in love with the military man but toying with all the college boys. One good part of this act is the party given by the Senior girls of the college to the boys. Here she lures a boy away from the girl he came with. This part of the play is too much like The College Widow. In Act IV. the boys get on to the fact that she is making sport of them 329 fS and keep away. The military man ' s ardor begins to wane and his visits from the Fort become less frequent. The heroine seeks consolation on the stage. The company is an all star company, as the cast shows. Military Man Capt. Nickerson. Football Man Fam Sorter. College Widow Dorothy NcMight. College Boys — Nale Vanse, Art Haskins, Card Woble. Another hit of the season is My Maybelle, a new tragedy by Keith Clevenger, in which he plays the leading role. Edward Haney plays the villain. A great fight takes place between the two and the play is discon- tinued until the blood can be pumped from the cellar. During the intermis- sion the audience is entertained by vaudeville stunts by Roy Dietrich and Abe Van Meter. Sis Hopkins, Gretchen Rankin and Grace Warner play the parts of Kansas City and Osawatomie girls. BUILDING PERMITS.

Parties of ladies and gentlemen are afloat for an evening at a time in the sumptuously appointed City of Lawrence. To one person espe- cially is credit due for the revival of interest in canoeing. This is the pop- ular and celebrated singer, Lord. Power, who has induced a number of the ultra-fashionables to build a club house at Cameron ' s Bluff that he may use during the long summer vacations. Another unique feature of this club is that each member adorns his sweater with a large K fac- simile of the regulation football K. On either side, it is true, there is a tiny C, but at a short distance the Canoe Club man shines with all the glory of a ' Varsity K man, and you know we all love a sportsman. . The attractive and popular Count Clifford de Young (the one with the accomplished dog, James Bedamn, who assists his master by supply- ing saliva for bottle labels), is said to be suffering from nervous prostra- tion. According to his own narration, he has paid court to over twenty ladies since his arrival here, and the numerous disappointments he has suf- fered are beginning to tell. One of the most elaborate affairs of the season is the reception given to the ladies of the reigning house by the young women who made their debut four years ago. This reception was given in the historic Fraser Hall, in the great Greek room at the end of the upper south corridor. This room is beautifully adorned with Greek pictures and statuary, and furnished with an immense table from which the collation was served. The color scheme was pink and lavender, and was carried out in every detail. The witty and beautiful hostesses scored a brilliant success by the afternoon ' s entertainment, but it is hinted that the expenses were very heavy and considerable difficulty was encountered in obtaining the neces- sary money to meet them. The coming of May was celebrated by a gorgeous fete in imitation of the old-time customs in vogue in the early days of merrie England. This fete is given for philanthropic objects, and is the signal for society folk to quiet their consciences, for their absolute selfishness during the rest of the year. All the most beautiful and graceful young ladies of the smart set take part in charming May-pole dances, or quaint milk-maid or gypsy dances. The amateur theatrical companies, of which there are two r 332 composed of the best known of the elite, each gave a dashy little sketch. One of the most prominent and enviable positions of the whole af- fair was that occupied by the handsome French ambassador and his lady, who were King and Queen of the May. Though neither are accustomed to horses, ' tis said they managed their splendid mounts creditably. April the 30th was the date of the Grand Annual Ball, given by the younger set (the climbers we will name them between ourselves), to those whose position and rank are settled beyond further dispute. This is really the most sumptuous and carefully planned of all the events of the season, both because the climbers know they are setting a standard which must be reached by the next younger set, when their turn shall come, and because the King looks with great favor upon this entertain- ment. Musical comedy, novelty dances, home talent music and dainty re- freshments, made the evening a memorable one. THE SENIOR BOY ' S RETURN PARTY The boys of the Senior class gave a delightful little party in return for the delicious affair given this winter by the girls of the class. The social event of the boys was pulled off with much noise April 1, 2009, in Air Castle, where most of the Senior boys are living in most sumptuous style. The guests danced on the clouds, the music being furnished by the Zephyrs Orchestra, an out-of-town organization, much better than the home talent. Etherial refreshments of wind pudding, chestnuts, taffy, onions and hot air a la mode were served. Everyone had a time that was simply out of sight. THE ALL-STAR DANCE The most delightful social event of the year was the All-Star Dance given in Smith Hall under the auspices of Mr. Bill Fishman. The Sor- ority Chocolate Band furnished the music. Owing to the exclusive nature of the affair no newspaper men were allowed to enter, hence the meager details of the function. It has been whispered, however, that some of the stunts pulled off long after midnight were equal in niftiness to the shiver producing ideas of the blase New Yorkers. Mr. Fishman is receiving the congratulations of his select coterie of friends this morning, and has un- doubtedly set a record in pace making that will be hard to beat for some moons to come. 333 H SOCIETY AND PERSONALS The following- students have enrolled in the Downward course at the University of Kansas : France G. Wilson, Cecil Forter, Harold Larson, Ed Van der Vries, Herbert Ellis, Gordon Bennet, Horton Thompson and Timmy Shotts.

A Raffle — Next Friday evening, in the parlors of the Quivera Club, Ralph Hemenway will sell to the highest bidder his tar bucket. Ralph Pryor has changed his address to 1215 Tennessee street. The Thetas are having their house painted this week. Beta Theta Pi entertained April 8, quite elaborately, a number of girl friends. The house was beautifully decorated with wall flowers. The uni- que feature of the delightful affair was the absence of sorority pennants. The Phi Delts had their house cleaned with the new vacuum cleaner yesterday. Ben Young with his bunch of Halsted athletes visited the University Saturday and Sunday. The boys won the championship. Ben is very happy. Good luck to you, Ben.

CHAPERONE COLUMN QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED IN NEXT ISSUE Delphi — Which of my men acquaintances should I invite to call? Should I wait until they have shown some particular interest in me? V. D. V. — Is it not ill-bred to take soup audibly and to continue to chew one ' s- 33b food while serving oneself? I should like some people to see your opinion here. Little Senior — I have been wearing engagement furs all winter, but my fiance has left this part of the country. With how many men may I spoon and still remain within the bounds of convention? ANSWERED QUESTIONS. Art H. — I have a very jealous disposition. Is it not justifiable for me to ask the girl I go with to give dates only to me ? It is very unfair to ask it unless you intend to give up going with other girls. M. B. — Kindly tell me how I shall speak of the man I go with. His name is Milton Bosse. The boys call him Sook and the girls call him my lover. I prefer saying ' ' Mr. Bosse. Which is correct? You are correct as far as delicacy of language is concerned, but would it not be more honest to say, when speaking of him: ' ' My good-natured pocketbook, or my faithful meal ticket? E. G. — Do you think it is good taste for a girl to allow a very good friend to kiss her in the yard of a frat house when a dance is going on, or should it be done in private? It would be more proper to reserve such demonstrations for private delectation, but circumstances may make it permissible if you are sure you have been introduced. BUI Fishman — Will you tell me whether it is proper to sing snatches of songs when at a dance ? I would not overdo this thing as it might look as if you could not think of any- thing to say and were merely filling in the gaps in the conversation. Pearl — A cold plunge is healthful provided that you lead up to it gradually, but I would not advise breaking through the ice for your first experience. Mary J. — If you have been accustomed to driving a great deal, do not let this habit become so strong as to make you neglect your daily walk. E. Greenyard — If you will try the out-door habit, it will grow so strong that you will wonder how you ever spent so many hours in close hot rooms. You can- not get too much fresh, pure air. It will clear your complexion, give you an appe- tite and calm vour nerves. L. IV. — It is very unkind of Prof. Dunlap to make you write so fast. He is apt to forget that we can ' t write valetudinarianism as fast as we can say it. I advise a male massage of the overused muscles. R. L. — Ts it bad form to allow your case to embrace you in public or should it be done in private? It is better to do it in private, for even on a dark porch one is not entirely safe from flash lights. Mr. D. — Since your name is Dennis, green is a very appropriate color for your new spring hat. 337 ■ Bernese B. — Just because a boy wishes to meet you is no sign that he wants to work up a case. Ralph Cob urn — It was indeed unfortunate that you did not get to attend the dance. The young lady understood you to say, Have you company for the dance? when you really said, May I have your company for the dance? Next time speak more distinctly. Mr. Hottel — Yon say that the tables were turned when you told a girl acquain- tance that you were up here to study law and not the weaker sex, she answered that she was here to study the weaker sex, and as a consequence was making a study of you. Well, it ' s hard, but the laugh is on you. Besse — Since you have had so much trouble with the mothers of your boy friends, I should advise you to work up a case with an orphan who has no relatives. Mr. Babb — It is customary in K. U. for even Freshmen to keep their dates. But since you were in the dark about the subject, we shall try to overlook the matter, but be more careful next time. Bess Keneaster — Is Swimming Good Exercise ? Every time I take a plunge I lose two pounds. I doubt the benefits of swimming as an exercise. Farber — It is bad form to take a young lady ' s arm while strolling in daylight. Floyd Rankin — The idea ! You should never ask a girl to go with only you, especially when you devote your time to several others besides this young lady. You are an inconsistent flirt. Miss Bccmcr — Your girl friends are only teasing you. They don ' t want your man. Bud Tyler — If a man loses his hair no amount of advertising can restore it. Uncle Jimmy — Wear your hair either parted in the middle or pompadour. Both ways are becoming and very fashionable. Verna Rowe — To take care of your hands in cold weather, bind two handfuls of Lint on tightly. Val Adams — ' Blow can you remove freckles? If your freckles are of a light brick color, a. summer vacation in Garden City might help them ; otherwise you must place a small charge of dynamite under each freckle and ignite by an after supper spark between 1200 and 1333 Tennessee Street. John Power — To Remove a Tight Ring. Apply a plaster of chapel dates and kodak pictures, holding the hand gently each evening. Hold in river water twice each week on moonlight evenings. Repeat the operation as often as necessary until the desired effect is produced. Don ' t get in a hurry. It may take time. Be patient. 338 ' S Green Hall Museum ■ A ItuterBtiy Elopement University society received a surprise today when the news leaked out that Edgar M. Forde and Miss Hazel Allison had eloped early this morn- ing to Columbia, Mo. They are now visiting at the University of Mis- souri and are receiving congratulations from a host of friends. They are well known here and belonged to the most excLusive set in the uni- versity. It was so exclutive, in fact, that no one was permitted to join but Forde and his fair partner in this interesting romance. They tried to slip out of town unnoticed. Forde met Miss Allison this morning at the Kappa Alpha Theta house, from which they hurried away in a cab to the station. The God of Chance played a trick on them, however, as they were surprised by a crowd of university men who were waiting for a train to Kansas City. Forde showed wonderful presence of mind. When he saw his school fellows on the platform he told Miss Alli- son to remain quietly in the cab till train time. If the boys could be kept ignorant of her presence until the train pulled in, their plans could still be finished. Forde alighted from the cab and talked gaily with the boys. Tom Veatch, his fraternity brother, became suspicious and went to the cab to investigate. Haw, haw I he laughed, as he spied the blushing girl. Good joke, Ed! What ' s up? Let us in on the ground floor and we ' re with you till death us doth part. Aw, cut it, Tom, interrupted Forde bluntly. We ' re simply going down to the city. Umm ! So ? All right, go ahead, my children. We can ' t stop you, answered the rest of the rah rahs, who had taken an active interest in affairs. They left the loving ones and did some hasty planning. A quan- tity of rice was purchased and some old shoes were gathered in from a junk house near the station. They had no chance to use them in Law- rence, as Forde went alone to the smoker and Miss Allison to the Pull- man. At Kansas City they boarded the Wabash for Columbia. The students were anxious for revenge. They distributed several placards through the train announcing the happy couple, and used the rice to good effect as the elopers rushed to their car. Veatch telegraphed the Missouri University Beta fraternity men to greet the fugitives. A reception will be given by Forde ' s fraternity brofhers at Columbia tomorrow evening in honor of the successful elopement. 340 llnttaetopittg Hkpartment Chancellor ' s Taffy. — Take a chapel full of students and stir up with a half hour chapel-talk on Friday morning.

He joined the Sigma Alfalfa Whoopsilums, but it didn ' t Faze him. He was still undoubtedly Green. The Alfalfa Boys tried to Bring - him Out, but he refused to be Brung. They did Get him to go Call on a Girl, though, so he put on his newest Sears-Roebuck Co. and Flitted Out. He lived through the Evening, but he heard a noise in the Park, coming home; and went to Investigate. It happened to be a Mass Meeting of Upper Classmen, and they all Spotted his color immediately and decided to make an Example of him, of what happens when Bad Boys are caught out after the Curfew blows. They Propelled him to the Brimming Edge of the Nearby Fountain, and Soused him good and plenty. By the Time he reached the House his Trousers had Broken all previous Flood Records and they had to Amputate his Coat. Moral : It would pay Some of Us to go out of our Way to keep from Butting In.

The best way to see Lawrence without getting lost. Our attendants speak five languages ordinarily and seven when repairing the machinery. Yes, madam, the best people patronize us. A distant relative of Governor Stubbs rode on this wagon yesterday. All aboard now. Before we start notice, to your right, the Eldridge House, famous loafing place for young men elastically in- clined. This place has been burned to the ground no less than 19 times, but Phoenix- like, has risen from its ashes unab — ashed. To your left, looking back, Bowersock ' s Opera House, 305 years old. No, madam, farther on down by the alley. Now, hold on to your hats. We are starting (chug, chug). To your left, Mrs. Pattee ' s Nickel. The melo- dious strains coming from within are those of Susie, the girl bird, in her illustrated song. Her voice is thin, thin- ner than she is, in fact. She strained it singing a difficult air (COO- To your left, Dick ' s drug store. There is a private soda fountain at the rear and a side entrance, where it is custom- ary to wipe the lips. The tall 3-story brick building to your right is F. A. A. Hall — Fussers ' Athletic Association. Free-for-all meets are held weekly. To your left, the Hiawatha Cafe, where an assassination occurs every Saturday night. 345 I We are now passing Wiedemann ' s. I will go slow that you may no- tice the window decorations and get a glimpse of the crowd inside. How- ever, as it is not 5 p. m., the elite have not yet arrived. These excavations along the wayside are for the new street railway which the citizens have been fighting against for so long. To your right, Con Squires ' taffy shop. Con is a second Raffles when it comes to gentlemanly robbery. To your left, the Skating Rink where the students have a chance to get acquainted with the town girls. At both right and left you see South Park, a famous place for hold- ups. Now, turning to the right, there being no places of popular interest, you may view with delight the magnificent homes. Here we reach the main boulevard and will go slowly on account of the immense traffic, this being a popular street for driving couples because there are always plenty of people on the porches to see who is going by. Up the hill a block to the right is the home of Kappa Alpha Theta. The hours between 5 and 6 p. m. are reserved for fire drill. This is a very popular district for boarding and rooming houses. To your left, the Kappa House, with annex to the south. The noise coming from within may be a dog fight, as the boys have their own kennels, but is more like- ly the Phi Delts singing their songs. To your right, the Beta House, 102 years old. They are having $400 worth of grass sod put in the yard to match the wall paper in the chap- erone ' s bedroom. We are now outside the realms of civilization and hence will turn to the right and follow this hill road, which leads to the campus. To your left, Blake Hall, principally noted for being the ugliest build- ing in the West. We should not like to fall off the top of it. Fraser Hall, the most successful matrimonial bureau in the West. The little dog kennel to the right is Billie ' s Restaurant, closely modeled after the famous Maxim ' s. Yonder to the northest is Spooner ' s Library, the Old Maids ' Home. To our front, the Museum. This building cost 5 million dollars and was presented to L. L. Dyche as a dump for his Arctic souvenirs. If you have occasion, go in and see how exactly the explorer has captured the polar atmosphere. Turning to the left, we see at our right hand the Law Building, where young men learn how to pitch pennies and play practical jokes. No, the building is not on fire. No smoke without some fire, is a delusion here. The reason they are coming out of the wr ' ndows is because classes are out. 346 i To the left, Snow Hall, or the K. U. Slaughter House. Through the basement window you can see the pens where the victims are first starved then poisoned or stabbed to death. Now, ladies and gentlemen, hold your noses. This is the Chemistry Building, which contains the famous liquid air machine and other human curiosities. To your left the Fowler shops, poorly named as the Medic Building, is much fouler. To your left the $120,000 muscle builder, called Robinson Gymna- sium. Far in the foreground you can see the Engineering Building. By the aid of a spyglass as we approach you can see how large and fine it is and why it cost so much money. Now you can d: ' stinguish the workmen, who appear like small ants moving about. Now we can faintly hear the sounds of their sledge hammers. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but the machine ' s run down. The gaso- line has given out. Those wishing to return to the city will have to wait for a passing airship or an electric car. Those wishing to endow the stu- dents ' dormitory during the chancellor ' s lifetime had better take this road back to the campus immediately. All alight, please.

He had a Bunch of Numb-Skulls who used to Delight to Drink at the Foun- tain of Knowledge as it Flowed in the Dry Dessert of Old Bones ; and of this Conglomeration of Ninnies he was Very Proud. He even went so Far as to Apply Zoological Terms to the most Timid and Bashful of the Little Darlings, and though he Never called them Deer as Anyone is Cognizant, he had been known to Apply the Term of Burro to a Thick- Headed Guy who didn ' t know the Difference between an agger and a maris. One Merry Morning, when most of the Victims had been up the Night Before to a Musical Shin-Dig given in the Screech-House down by the Post Office, and had Forgotten to Look up the John Henry of a Gentleman who Once Made an Insignicant Statement about the Size of a Bed-Blanket that Caesar Wore for a Petticoat, the Reverend Professor became Somewhat Sarcastic and Insinuated that his Young Hopefuls were Somewhat Related to the Turkey Family. This Original Handle did not Suit the Infantile Prodigies, and they Cast About for Some Painless Method of Getting Even. Then Spake up an Ingenious Mortal who had long Withered under the Scorching Glances of this Nonpareil of the Antiquities, and Proposed that those Designated by the new Title Should All Chip in and Buy Their D ear Preceptor a Large and Edible Turkey-Egg to be Manufactured by the Boss of the Saccharine Trust Down Town, and Present It on the Evening of the Sunday when all the Ladies Trot out their New Spring Bonnets and some of the Oppo- site Sex don a Prince Albert and a Bored Expression and pay their An- nual Visit to the House of Worship. The Night was Thick and Sum- mery when the Young Hopefuls arrived on the Scene Clutching a Huge Chocolate Egg that had Cost all Their Pin Money for a month; but their Cardiac Organs Fluttered Wildly with Excitement as they Hid Behind a Lilac Bush and Watched the Learned Gentleman Bear the Missive of Affection into the Bosom of His Family. Surely when he had Appre- ciated the Humor of the Situation He Would Throw Open the Parlor Gateway and with a stately Wave of his Right Prehensile would Invite the Whole Drove in to an Expensive Collation of Edibles, where the Turkey-Egg should Serve as a Center-Piece. But, alas, for Youth ' s Fond Fancies ! The Intellectual Marvel did not See the Point, and Think- ing the Package Contained an Infernal Machine, bade his Fond Spouse to open it in the Kitchen while he awaited the Explosion in his Smoking- Room. And the Ingenious Individuals behind the Lilac Bush waited till Twelve O ' Clock, and All the Lights in the House Went Out except 349 the Coffin-Nail of the Professor, who was still Cogitating- in his Morris Chair, How he Might Apply the Axe to the Throttles of the Fated Inhabitants of his Turkey Pen. So the Ingenious Individuals went Home in the Rain. But when the Next Qu: zz Came Around they were Plucked Clean and Dry and Hung up among the Other Specimens in the Classical Museum.

She had formed the Habit of exploring - for Tabbies with a Gunny Sack and many a pound of Good Veal Cutlets did she throw to the Unsuspecting Victims in Inducing them to visiting her Dissecting Kitchen, where she Carved the poor Pussies into dainty little Souvemrs for the Edification of her Classes in Physiology. As She sometimes Neg- lected to Lull the Departing Thomas Kittens into Dreamless Unbroken Slumber with a Gentle Dose of Sledge Hammer, they Sometimes objected to being made the only Vaudev ille Performers on the Circuit, and Perme- ated the Anaesthetic Atmosphere of the Lady Doctor ' s Torture Chamber with Long and Plaintive Yowls that would Raise a Hirsute Exhibition of Horror even on the Smooth and Glassy Surface of Uncle Jimmy ' s Cere- bral Cocoanut. It so chanced during one of these Excruciating Concerts that a Conscientious Person happened Round one of the Open Portals of the Temple of Learning in which the Lady Doctor was Artistically Flay- ing a Lovely Tabby-Cat to the Applause of her little Circle of Disciples ; and, Experiencing a Sudden Stimulus in the Region of his Bump of Inter- ference, the Champion of Felinity Telephoned to the Monitor of the Law in the Little Burg in which all this Intellectual Racket was Going on. Then the Brass Buttoned Individual who Runs the Metropolitan Coop, called up the Inquisition Chamber of the Lady Doctor, and hearing the Despair- ing Shrieks of the Martyred Pussy-Cat, in a Harsh and Cruel Manner, Gave Orders that all Victims should be Chloroformed before being Dessi- cated for the Instruction of the Embryo Medical Murderers. Thereupon the Lady Doctor became so Ebullient that She hung up the Telephone Noise-Box in Sr ' lent Scorn, and went back to Perform a Few More An- tics on the Helpless Feline. But, Ever Afterward, She kept her Windows Shut, and No One but the Initiates ever knew How the Thomas Kittens Departed Hence from this World of Woe. And the Intellectual Dump on the Mountain Top might have lived Forever in Blissful Deprivation of Excruciating and Awful Concerts if Daddy Skilton had not Organized an Orchestra. Moral: The Experiments of Science are too Complicated tor the Common Herd to Appreciate. 352 i I I Eleanor Taylor Bell Memorial Hall, Rosedale m Once there was a Bunch of Lovely Young Girls called a Sorority, who united Efforts to Promote Brotherly Love, and all lived in the Same House in order that they might learn Each Others ' nicknames. They were Fresh from the Grindstone on the Rushing System and when, at the end of this Trying Time, during which it is Customary to treat other Sorority Girls in the Light of Transparent Goods, they had captured several Innocent Looking Freshmen, they began to go to Classes again and Wear a Pleased Expression. Now it is the Habit among this Tribe for the New Girls to give a Dramatic Entertainment, known as a Farce and it Usually Lives up to the Name. After the Newly Initiated had been Cautioned as to the Na- ture of the Entertainment they were to Furnish, they were told to Cut Loose and give a Performance that would be the Wooziest Ever. Now among these Damsels was a Taffy-ha : red Person named Kate who was more than Ten and could Take Care of Herself Along any Line. Be- sides knowing how to Make Fudge and Welsh Rarebit in a Chafing Dish, she knew a Lot of Other Deviltry and Disliked very much being Imposed on. Then there was a Girl named Ethel who was of English Descent — in fact she was the Real Essence of Old John Bull. And She too thought that Sugar-Coated Pranks wuh a Jolly good Soat of thing, don ' t you Know, and it made Her very Exhausted to be Used as a Mere Enter- tainer. And Thirdly was a Young Thing named Myra who had Marsh Mal- low Eclaire written all over her and other Girlish Charms, Calculated to Lure a Bird out of a Tree. She was a Ring Performer when it came to Practical Jokes. All Apparently went Well till the night when the Show was to be Pulled Off. A Great Crowd was Present, consisting of Alumnae from all Parts of the Country, and the Actives were Feverishly Anticipating a Grand Piece of Work. There was to be a Free for all Treat after the Show consisting of Various Foods which Even Then awaited Consump- tion on the Dining-room Table. Gradually the Audience began to get Numb below the Hips from Waiting. There was Much Clapping and Stamping of Feet till Finally the Door was thrown Open and There stood a Tree of the Genus called Rubber, and Hanging to it were Numbers of the Fruit called Lemon, and not a Soul was in Sight! The Souls were all on the Outside, looking in with Suppressed Merriment. Gradually the Audience Came To and with Piercing Shrieks arose to Wreak Ven- geance. After Searching Carefully behind all the Pennants, under the Piano and So Forth, they Nailed up the Gate and Merriment ran High 354 Meanwhile the Mischievous Girlies were doing a Soft Shoe Sneak about the Premises. They had a Sort of Panel Picture of Themselves being Ad- mitted by the Relenting Revelers in due Time, but after Basking a few hours in the Cold Moonshine they began to Come Wise to the Fact that they were Driven from Home. Moral : Keep on the Inside. Beelzebub was at the old stand as main guy in the reception line, when Prof. Marty Rice blew in, and, pointing to the left of his Satanic Majesty, said: Right over there, Professor Rice. After a while, Prof. Templin came along and Beelzebub assigned to him the place on the right side of His Majesty. But, not long after, he saw some one else coming and peered out to find out who it was. Greatly excited, he returned to the throne and said, Get down, Satan, here comes Cady. 355 ©Iff Fable nf % gw?zi r Ubn Hau in tt?e SUglrt (dhurrl? iut % Mrnng j to Once there was a Geezer who Occasionally exposed Himself to a Course or Two of the Knowledge (?) they keep on Tap over in Green Hall.

The Pippin, how- ever, was Wise and couldn ' t quite Focus on the Picture of Herself as the Fusser ' s Pardner at the Fireman ' s Cotillion. So, to get Solid With Heart ' s Desire, he asked her Brother Out to spend the Vacation. After being bumped across the Prairies all day, the two Future County Attor- neys caught the Depot Platform on the Second Bounce and started for Home. When Father and Mother had been sufficiently Impressed, they were sent to Bed, and Brother and the Guy discovered by comparison how Really Rank Barber Bros. ' Best was. Some time during the Night Brother was escorted to a Room, where he turned in. Not long After- ward he heard Father and the Hogs and Rolled Over. On the Far Edge of the Four Poster was a Figure. Brother couldn ' t recollect when the Geezer had gone to Roost, but as he had some Difficulty in Recalling the other Events with any Distinctness, he let it Pass. He reached over and Batted the Figure a Good One. Come out of it, Old Kid, he whispered. Old Kr ' d came out, all right. It was the Geezer ' s Grand- mother.

He invited them all Down to Look over the Premises of his little Education Plant, in Order to Persuade them out of the Goodness of their Hearts to take a Little more Interest in State Institutions. The Main Guy worked Up Some Excitement by Giving the Tender Saplings in his Hot-House a nice, Pleasant Holiday, and he Lined Them up on Both Sides of the Street to wave Flag Poles and throw Cabbage at All the Dear little Daughters of the State House Janitors who rode by in Fancy Buzz Wagons winle the Band played Dixie. When the Promenade was over the Boss Broncho Buster held a Little Love Feast in the Place where Doc Nai- smith trains his Chesties, and all the Young Foundlings were Properly Coached as to the Psychological Moments when to Yell, whenever the Long-Headed Champion Grafter wiggled the Little Finger on his Left Hand. Everything Went off Beautifully, and the Whole Gang had some Simple Little Prayers, a Few Revival Hymns and then Sat Real Still for an Hour and a Half while One of the Assistant Exhibitors read a long Essay about Honest Old Abe ' After the Hot-Air, Came the Christ- mas Dinner, and the Boss Grafter went Around with a Ramrod Seeing that all the Visiting Legislators Got Enough to Eat. It was when the Last Gob of Mince Pie had Bumped against the Topmost Leg of a Tur- key Buzzard in the Digestive Sewer of the Last Bell Boy, that the Memorable Event Occurred to Which all this is a Prelude. One of the Honorable Representatives from the Little Burg Down the Road, calling to one of the Hash-Slingers who had Tenderly Presided over his Gastro- nomic Edification, gently Insinuated a Worn but Perfectly Good Spon- dulick into the Small and Unsuspecting Paddy of the Aforesaid Hash- Slinger. But When the Conscientious Little Maid, who had been edu- cated in the Straight and Narrow W ' ay, realized What Was Going On, with a Chirp and a Gurgle that resounded above the Din of the Main Pebble ' s fetching Little Anecdote, she Jumped Six Feet into the Ozone and Lit on the Other Side of the Table. The Well-intentioned Individ- ual was so Astonished at this Gymnastic Exhibition that he Forgot to Tamp Down a Hunk of Apple Pie that he had Just Poked Between His Incisors, and he Immediately Choked to Dea th from the Pressure on his Diaphragm. But the Fair Hash-Slinger bought a Three-Pound Box of Wiedemann ' s Best and Entertained her Gentleman Callers for a Week, until the Supply Ran Out. Moral: You Can NeverTell What a Hash-Slinger will Do by the Uniform She Wears. 358 c w Work Shc Power House Mining Engineering Building m Utyr Jrats The Phi Psis say they ' re better than the Betas by a lot, And the Betas say the Phi Psis are not even getting hot.

The Phi Gams, Sig Alphs, Sigma Nus and Alpha Taus all vow That when :t comes to sailing, you ' ll find them in the bow. And each and every frater swears his own frat is the best, For when it comes to doing things, they ' re way ahead the rest. Each proudly points to catalogues, and others all defy, And say their national standing is so very, very high; They own their house, are building one, or have the plans nearby ; Then when it comes to honors, not a frat can even tie. But what ' s the use of wrangling, a-knockin ' now and then, Each frat is doing what it can to turn out famous men.
