His boyhood days were spent in attending school, playing marbles, and shooting paper wads. In 1892 he entered the Argentine High School, re- maining there until '96, when he came to Lawrence and continued his work in the Lawrence High School. In the fall of ,98 he took his place in the Law Class of '00. He will locate in Oskaloosa for the practice of Law. O O O JAMES FRANKLIN HOGG. James Franklin Hogg, a Phi Delta Phi, was born at Weir City, May 25, 1876. He attended the schools of Columbus, graduating from the High School in '93.

To prepare himself further for his chosen profession, he attended the University from 1895 to 1898. In the latter year he, accepted a position with the Republican State Cen- tral Committee. His stay at the county Copeland put him in touch with nearly all the prominent men of the State. During his stay in this county, and from its lasting effects, he has expanded with the country until now he is the biggest man in the Class of '00. O I O DAVID W. WOOD. David W. 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.

In 1897 Mr. Dana entered the Law School. but during the winter of 398 and '99 he canvassed for a nursery. Again. in '99, he entered the I.aw School, and is now ready for graduation. ROY T.

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.

The place of his birth, said Forrest C. Cochran further swears, was Columbia, Iowa. N-ow, Iowa being a good place in which to be born, but a poor place to live, our hero came to Kansas, and, to be plain, to Plainville, Kansas. Here he safely ran the gauntlet ofcommo-n and high schools, but fell into the toils of Washburn College at Topeka. Entered Citizens' Bank at Plainville in 1897, and remained in that institution in the capacity of assistant cash- ier until September, 1898, when he entered the Law Department of the State University. He is a mem- ber of the Phi Gamma Delta and the Phi Delta Phi fraternities. Future clients will do well to consult him when in need of legal advice. I O C - PAUL ADDISON DINSMOOR.

FIELD. Russell W. Field was born, the 12th of July, 1877. He emerged from chaos at Solomon, Kas., where he dreamed the dreams of joyous adolescence. But one day, Hnding ignorance no longer bliss, he entered the School of Arts of Kansas State University, in the fall of 1894. Here he spent three useful years, working the professors, and studying on the side, until one day he strayed into the class-room of the Law Department, and heard one of Uncle Jim- mie,s stories. I will have more of this,', he de- clared, for it is true wisdom, and the next year 418983 he entered the Law Department. Here his work has been of excellent grade, and he has evi- denced the material of a good attorney. He will form a partnership with Robert Landers. Both of these gentlemen are members of the legal fraternity, Phi Delta Phi, classmates, and chums, and we be- speak for them successful careers. GEORGE L. DAVIS Was born in 1875 at Spring Hill, Kansas. His early years were spent attending school, and in the employ of the Spring Hill Banking Company. Af- terward, he accepted a position in the American National Bank, of Kansas City, Mo., which position he resigned to enter the Kansas University Law School. While in school he has been local-agent of the Kansas City Star Company. The high esteem in which his business ability is held by his class- mates was shown by his being elected business manager of the Kansas University Shingle, but 'his other duties compelled him to resign. He is at present associate editor of the Kansas University Tlkielcly. He is a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Mr. Davis will not engage in the prac- tice of Law at once, but will spend four years in the Art Department at Kansas University. E I l I E. D. KARR, Of Topeka, is another charter member of the Senior Law Class, whose modesty is only excelled by his ability. With the aid of Nick Carter and Sherlock Holmes, we were unable to gleam many facts from Mr. Karr on which to build a biography. Day says he has done nothing that he is ashamed or proud of. He is a member of the Sigma Nu and Phi Delta Phi fraternities. 0 I O FRANK ARCHIBALD REID VVas born August 14, 1877, at Concordia, Kansas. He attended the Clyde High School, graduating in 1894.
