at Rossville, Ill. In November, '91, he decided to come West, and grow up with the country. On arriving at Florence, this State, he immediately en- tered the Florence High School-graduating in 1894. To obtain the wherewithal to go higher in the edu- cational line, he turned to that ever-ready vocation, teaching. After following the career of a pedagogue for two years in the country school-houses, he en- tered the University in 1896, and took a year's spe- cial work in the Art Department. The following year he was Principal of the Florence High School. Again, in the fall of '98, he entered the University, and in the spring entered the Law School. In the summer of '99 he officiated as pencil-pusher upon the Florence Bulletin., in the capacity of local edi- tor. Before hanging out his shingle for himself, he will spend a couple of years in a law office in the Texas Panhandle. O O 0 FERNAND BURTON. ' In the far-away land across the sea, Belgium, ushering in the New Year, came Fernand Burton, born January 2,1876. In the first eleven years of his youth, he gained a fair education in his mother tongue. In 1887, wishing to learn more of the world, he secured transportation for his family, and sent them to America, following himself 'on the same vessel. His first location was at Florence, Kansas, a thriving little railroad town, where he sc-on had the rough edges knocked off of him. After migrating to several other places, he at last settled down at Ponca City, Oklahoma. He increased his fund of knowledge in the Ponca City High School, and by a short term in the University of Oklahoma. He secured a teacher's certificate, but decided to en- ter the Kansas Law School, which he did in '98. He has become quite prominent in olratory, and has taken part in several contests. C 0 0 ERNEST C. LOCKWOOD. Ernest C. Lockwood was shown the light of day for the first time, some twenty-six years ago, in Davies County, Missouri. Since that time he has had to be shown in nearly everything in his brief existence. Among the moss-backed hills of his na- tive State, he received a common-school education and attended a college a year or two. His first ambition in his 'fteens was to pull taffy with the girls, and find the first red ear at the husking bees. Not content with always being a Missou- rian, he went to Iowa, and later to Nebraska, work- ing on farms, and looking for the goal of happiness. To make this happiness more palatable, he taught school once. In July, '98, he came to Kansas, and entered the Law School that fall. The Juniors have shown him, and he expects to be shown some high place in State or nation in the dim future. J. HOWARD TORRENCE. Born on the banks of the Ohio in Middlepiort, Ohio, and wishing to grow up with the country, he moved with his parents to the short-grass country of Kansas in 1884. Being of a studious turn of mind, he so far completed a common-school educa- tion as to spend a year in the Central Normal Col- lege at Great Bend in '92 and '93. The next year he graduated from the Ellinwood High School. To secure the wherewithal to acquire professional training, he taught school the next three years. Emulating the example of his worthy ancestor, Judge Torrence, of the Supreme Court of Connecti- cut, he entered the Kansas University in the fall of '97, going into the Law School the following year. His aspirations are to be on the Supreme Bench of his adopted State. ' ofrfro SUMP First saw the light of day in a log cabin in Ran- dolph, Riley County, Kansas, January 17, 1878. His early education was received in the little log school- house of his home neighborhood. At fourteen he entered the High School, and advanced so rapidly in a year's time that he, armed with a common- school diploma, hied himself away to the State Nor- mal at Emporia.. He attended the State Normal in '94 and '95. Taught two years, and returned to the State Normal for another year. Later he was em- ployed as conductor on a street railway in Topeka for several months. Tiring of this, and other work he had been doing, he decided to study law, and en- tered the Kansas University Law School. He is at present editor of the Kansas University Lawyer, and is an energetic young man. He aspires to the Chief Justiceship. O I I EMORY W. EARHART. t'States are not great, except as men may make them. Pennsylvania claims as one of her sons Emory W. Earhart, who was born at Lykens, in that State, May 26, 1872. In 1884 he decided to give the citizens of Kansas the benefit of his wisdom and sagacity, so moved to Oxford, in the southern part of the State. Mr. Earhart engaged in the no- ble occupation of teaching for several years, but, co-nsidering how much more he could do for suffer- ing humanity in the legal profession, he gave up teaching to enter the Law School in the spring of '99. He has already had nine cases in court, and as he is a calm and fluent speaker, as well as a logical reasoner, he will undoubtedly have others. . CORNELIUS GANT. A product of a Kansas farm, Cornelius Gant, was born near Topeka, October 27, 1877. Here for the first seven years of his life he grew as did the corn and the pumpkins, and developed into a sturdy youth. In the fall of '84 his family moved to Leav- enworth, where he received a goiod education in the city schools, graduating from the High School there in June, 1898. That summer he came to Lawrence, where he has since made his ho-me, and expects to hang out his shingle. In September, 1898, he be- came a charter member of the Law Classof 1900, and, notwithstanding matching cloth and samples, and remembering that it is No. 40 white, instead of No. 50 black, he has found time to study, and has successfully passed all quizzes. CHARLES DARWIN DAIL Is the son o-f Attorney C. C. Dail, of Kansas City, Kansas. His home is at Quindaro, a small village- suburb of Kansas City, Kansas. He was .born Jan- uary 30, 1878, in Douglas County, Kansas, six miles from Lawrence. He graduated in the Latin course from the Kansas City, Kansas, High School in the spring of 1898. He entered the Law Department of the State University, at Lawrence, in the fall 'of the same year, graduating in the spring of 1900. He is altogether a Kansas boy, and is not only' proud of his State, but is trying to make his State proud of him. He is thoroughly temperate in all his habits, using neither intoxicating liquors nor tobacco in any form. During the summer 'of 1897, he had a severe attack of the gold fever, and, accompanied by his father, made a trip to Alaska, returning in a few months Crich in experiencej, and cured of the fever. His prospects are bright for success in the profession he has chosen, and if. determination. pluck, and energy will aid, then Kansas may add one more name to her list of bright young lawyers. --39- -

Wood, grandson of the late S. N. Wood, whose name was a familiar word in the sod homes in the early days of Kansas, was bo-rn near Strong City,'Chase County, this State, March 9, 1878. He grew to manhood among the hills and rocks upon his father's ranch, always foremost in anything which seemed to catch his eye. While but four years of age, he ran away from home to attend school. While at school he was very often caught breaking rules. In 1896 he graduated from the Cot- tonwood Falls High School, and immediately se- cured a teacher's certificate. After a year of this profession, he gave it up, and came to the Univers- ity. Upon Mt. Oread, where, forty-three years be- fore, his grandfather had camped, he commenced. this last course of his school life. A year's work in the Art School fitted him for the Law, which he entered in 1898. Mr. Wood will not practice this line as a profession, but will use it to assist him in the business vocation which he may take up. In the Way of athletic sports he has taken great inter- est, and has developed himself into a good, healthy physical man. He has participated in baseball,foot- ball, and basketball, being manager of the victori- ous Junior Law baseball team of '99. I O I J. W. DANA.

We almost wished to break into song when called upon to describe this illustrious young man, but, for the sake of uniformity, will refrain. He first ap- peared in Farlington, Crawford County, Kas,,August 17, 1874. His only playmates were grasshoppers, sandstorms, and prairie fires. He attended common schools until he found them too common, and then hied away to the Fort Scott Normal. where, in four short years. he lived, loved, lost, and graduated. It is hinted that he taught school, but he denies it from the depths of his poetic soulft He entered the Law Department of the Kansas State University in 1898. Mr. Landers expects to form a Law part- nership with R. W. Field, one of his classmates. They will probably begin practice somewhere in southern Kansas. Geniality, industry, and beauty -this combination-can not fail to heget honor. wealth, and matrimony-success indeed. He is a member of Phi Delta Phi. :ftSee Dante's Inferno, book seventeen, line 300.
