The subject of this sketch is not a teacher, alumnus, nor member of the Law School, but he is the fellow who puts the finishing touches upon the graduating members of the Law School. As Clerk of the District Court, Mr. Tucker admits us to the bar, and he has the distinction of admitting more men and women to the bar than any other-per- haps more than all other clerks of the court in Kansas. Born in England in 1857, left an orphan at an early age, without friends or wealth, Charles H. Tucker has known the trials and hardships of life. In 1870 he came to Lawrence, Kansas, to live with an aunt, and by the dint of hard work has made his way in life. After several years inthe produce commission business, he was elected to the Kansas Legislature in 1895 as a Republican, and in '96 elected Clerk of the District Court, and re-elected two years later. Last January, he was made cashier of the Watkins National Bank, and Captain Adna Clarke, a Law alumnus, as the deputy, runs the office. 3' il il ' ALEXANDER C. MITCHELL Was born October 11, 1860, at Cincinnati, O., and came to Kansas in 1867. After graduating from the county schools in 1880, he learned the machin- ist's trade, at which he worked in Cincinnati' until 1885. Later, he was a machinist in the Santa Fe shops. Entering Kansas State University, he took the degree of LL.B. In giving up his trade for the Law, Mr. Mitchell seems to have made a wise choice, as he is to-day one of the leading attorneys of this part of Kansas. He located in Lawrence, wherehe has since been a member of the firm of Bishop 85 Mitchell. He was County Attorney from '93 to '97, and -for four years prior'Deputy County Attorney, under Mr. Bishop. it 5' W' X CATHERINE SWOPE HYATT. The Kansas Law School, in keeping with the progress of the age, has and is graduating, a few ladies each year, and they are heartily welcomed by the legal fraternity. One of the best students of the Law, who ever graduated from the Kansas Law School, is Mrs. Catherine Swope Hyatt. Both she and her husband, W. S. Hyatt, were graduates of the Class of '89, Mrs. Hyatt is a native of Delaware, O., and received a degree of A.B from the Ohio Wes- leyan University. Prior to her entering the Law School, she was an Instructor in the Labette County High School, and since her graduation has held the position of Professor of Mathematics in the Law- rence High School. As her husband has recently been nominated, and will undoubtedly be elected County Attorney of Labette County, Kansas, he will certainly have an able assistant in the practice of Law. 1 , ' fi' Y Y W. S. HYATT VVas born in Labette County, Kansas. He is a graduate of the Law School, Class of 1899, but has spent the past year taking special w-ork in the Art Department of his Alma Mater. Mr. Hyatt is a successful orator and debater, being a member of the debating teams, and representing Kansas in the annual debates with Missouri and Colorado. He was nominated by the Populists and Democrats of Labette County, Kansas, for the oflice of County Attorney. This is a 'strong Fusion county, and Mr. Hyatt stands a strong chance of being elected. If such should prove his good fortune, we predict he will make a good official. -31-

Mr. Pope is a pro-mising young attorney, and is making a reputa- tio-n for himself in his chosen profession. iii' JOHN SULLIVAN. Perhaps the most enthusiastic and energetic friend of Kansas University, and especially of the Law Schoo-1, is John Sullivan, of the Class of '87. When he came to Lawrence, fresh from the farm, he had, figuratively speaking, uhayseed in his hair, but he soon developed hustling and political quali- fications, and became the leader in University circles. Following his natural bent, he located in Kansas City, and at once entered into politics, and has been for years one of the Democratic leaders of that city. Under President Cleveland, he held a very fat posi- tion, but refusing to desert his idol, Bryan, in '96, he was removed by the noted duck-shooter, and still remains one 'of the leaders of Missouri Democ- racy. Mr. Sullivan has been a money-maker, and enjoys 0-ne of the most lucrative practices of any of the Kansas University alumni. You can always find him smiling and happy at his ofiice, first fioor, from the roof,', in the New York Life Building.
