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.
