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.

He came back to Sunny Kansas in 1898 with the degree of Bachelor of Science, in chemistry. He entered the Junior Class of the Law Department of -Kansas University in the fall of 1898.

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.

ALDEN DANNEVIK. Alden Dannevik was born in Buchanan County, Mo., August 27, 1875. He attended the St. Joseph High School, and graduated with honors in 1895. Since that time he has resided in Moray, Doniphan County, Kansas. Mr. Dannevik is a careful stu- dent, and, although from Missouri, he is not slow at finding out a few things without waiting to be shown Judging from the character of his Work in the Law School, Mr. Dannevik's future will be marked with success. MARGARET ELIZABETH CASEY Was born at Beatrice, Neb., December 1, 1875. She moved to Topeka, Kansas, While in her Utoddling teens, but soon ceased to toddle and walked to school. Attended School of Assumption at Topeka, and Mount Saint Mary's Academy at Leavenworth for one year. After graduating from the Topeka Business College, she accepted a position as ste- nographer with Call Sc Ingalls, who were succeeded by Dobbs 84: Stoker. Miss Casey held this position six years, at last resigning to enter Kansas Univer- sity Law School. A glance at Miss Casey's picture will explain her popularity with so many of the embryo lawyers in the Class of 1900. She emphat- ically states that she is, as yet, undecided as to the future,-much to the regret of many of her friends in the Law School. I I O AL. R. SPRINGER. In Riley County, Kansas, the Stork left Alvin Springer with his future parents, on the 5th day of July, 1880. Thereby the subject of this sketch missed one celebration, which, had he been one day sooner, he would have enjoyed-therefore the al- ways sad expression he wears fsee picturej. He soon moved to Pottawatomie County, where on a ranch he longed to grow up into a cowboy or Indian fighter. But such a wild free life was not for him. His way was to be along the iiowery path of knowl- edge. He attended Lane University at Lecompton, Kansas, until a Sophomore, but one day he was missed from the class-rooms of that historic school, and when next heard from was studying Law at Kansas State University, having entered this insti- tution in February, 1899. Mr. Springer is verv self- ish, and exnects to withhold from the world the knowledge he has gained, so he will not practice Law, unless his country demands that he sacrifice himself DUFF G. PHILLIPS. Duff G. Phillips was born August 11, 1871, in Leavenworth County, this State. His youth to manhood was spent on the farm, attending the dis- trict school and the Tonganoxie Academy. After finishing his academical work, he went forth armed with a permit from the County Superintendent to teach the young idea how to shoot. Desiring a higher education, he entered the School of Arts, Kansas University, in 1894, graduating therefrom in 1898. In the fall of '98 he accepted the principal- ship of Southland College, Helena, Arkansas, which he held until in May, 1899, when he entered the Law School. Mr. Phillips has been a hard student and a keen observer of the world's affairs, and will make a successful attornev. On August 19, 1897, he shuf- fled off the coil of single blessedness. and took unto himself a wife, Miss Lucy Steele, of Jackson County, Missouri. At the close of the school, he will form a partnership with his brother Oliver. a graduate of the Class of 1897, and will open an Oifice in Leaven- worth, Kas, ,. SHERMAN G.

ROBERTS Was born May 20, 1878, at Greenfield, Missouri. He received his education in the public schools of that city, and at Topeka, Kansas. In the fall of '98 he entered the Art Department of Kansas State University, but realizing that the talent and genius of the great institution were centered in the Law School, he withdrew to begin the study of Law in January of '99. While Mr. Roberts is not the Rob- erts of Utah notoriety, nor the celebrated Lord Roh- erts of England, yet we shall not be surprised in the hereafter if his fame exceeds that of either of these. EDWARD THOMAS RILING Was born November 15, 1875, at Leavenworth, Kan- sas. He obtained a common-school education at Leavenworth and Leadville, Colorado. Later, he attended St. Benedict's Co-llege at Atchison. After four years of college work, he returned to his coun- try home at Worden, a few miles south of Lawrence. Being the oldest son at home, the work of the farm devolved upon him. In the year 1898, he entered the Kansas University Law School. He is a Kan- sas man through and through, and expects to make his ho-me in Kansas, He is a Roberts man, al- though he does not advocate Mormonism. CHARLES WILLIS WILCOX. Jolly, jovial Wi1key, a product of the short- grass country, was born September 5, 1878, in Cloud County, Kansas. His boyhood days were spent on the farm driving the ducks to water, and swap- pingn marbles while at school. He graduated from the Concordia High School in 1898. The same year he entered the University Law School. His fine, massive physique and earlv athletic training won him a place upon the football team of '98, and on the ever-victorious team of '99. For his good work the past year he has been chosen captain of the eleven of 1900. He also prides himself on being very fond of the ladies. FRANK EUGENE CRABTREE.
