WILLIAM H. ZWICK. In a little log cabin, out upon the treeless plains of Kansas, in 1879, William H. Zwick was born. Like a sunflower, when it Hrst begins to rear its head to the gentle zephyrs from the south, he took upon himself a bright smile, which he still keeps. At the age of seven he began to learn his A, B, Cs, and had so far progressed that eleven years later he entered the University. When the Spanish War broke out, he enlisted in Company H, Twentieth Kansas Infantry, April 29, '98, and went with that famous regiment to San Francisco, but, on account of illness, he was unable to proceed to the Philip- pines. Returning, he re-entered the Law School in January, 1899. He hopes to be elected Justice of the Peace. I NATHANIEL CHARLES ELSE Was born in Davis County, Iowa, March 24, 1879. In 1885 he came to Kansas with his parents, and settled on a farm in Republic County. In 1893 he moved toWashington County,where he still resides. He attended district schools and Washington Friends' Academy until 1898, when he entered Kan- sas University Law School, from which he grad- uates with this class. PHILIP S. ELLIOTT was born . III 1898 he took the degree of A.B. at Kansas University, andat the opening of the next school year entered the Law Department. We have searched the records in vain for anything that would not reflect honor and glory on Mr. Elliott's life, but even those mistakes which it is the misfortune of great men to make are en- tirely absent, and each page of his history shines forth with a lustre all its own. In 1898 he was chosen State Orator, a place which his talents en- abled him to fill with marked credit. In 1899 he was elected manager of the ever-victorious foot- ball team of Kansas University. In this position he has distinguished himself by his fair-minded, hon- est management. So we might go on repeating hon- ors and distinctions which he has won, but, as he is a notoriously modest young man, we will refrain. Mr. Elliott will be at home to his clients and friends at his oiiice in Kansas City after September first. O O O JOHN W. HAYSON, Pursuing the even tenor of his way, was born March 23, 1876, at Swanwick, Mo., and attended school at this place, and at Burlingame, Kansas, where he later located. After three years of uneventful lite as a country school-teacher in Osage County, he en- tered the Kansas University Law School in the fall of '98. Thus quiet waters run deep. I O I MAURICE MURPHY. Born at New Castle, West Limerick county, Ire- land, July 11, 1878. Attended the National School of Ireland until the age of eleven. Came to the United States April 26, 1893, landing at Castle Gar- den, New York. Entered public schools in Law- rence in fall of '93, and graduated from the Law- rence High School with the Class of '97. Entered Kansas University Law School in the fall of '97. Left school to enlist in the United States Volunteers during the Spanish-American War. Mustered out at Greenville, S. C., February 10, 1899. Returned to Kansas University Law School, February 29th, and will graduate with the Class of 1900. J. L. COLVIN. As nearly as J. L. Colvin can remember, he was born in the year 1870, in Carroll County, Illinois, and moved to Jewell County, Kansas, in the spring of 1880. His boyhood days were not different from those of other children. He enjoyed the same pleas- ures and pastimes, and had the same sorrows. More prominent among the latter was attending school. Later, however, he apparently developed a taste for school. He attended school at North Branch Acad- emy, and the Wesleyan Normal College at Lincoln, Nebraska. Then for six years he devoted all his time to teaching school in his home county, Jewell, and throughout the six years he enjo-yed success simply from following the motto: Spoil the rod and scare the child. He took one year 'of the Law coursein 1895-6. Of late he has been perfecting a scheme whereby the skins of clients can be used advantageously. I O I MARK GILLIN. . Born at Sedalia, Mo., October 22, 1872. Moved to Kansas in 1879. Graduated from the Parsons, Kansas, High School with the Class of '92, Studied Law in the office of M. Byrne, now of New York, and in the office of F. F. Lamb, of Parsons, Kansas. Graduates with the Class of 1900. ' CHARLES R. COOKSEY Was raised down on the farm near Washington, Vvashington County, Kansas, having begun his earthly career March 23, 1878. Graduated from the public schools in 1894, and the Washington High School in 1898. W He went to Baker University, and remained one term. The redeeming feature in his downward career was that he quitted Baker sosoon, and enrolled with the Class of '00, Kansas Univer- sity Law School, in January, 1899. He says that the future is to-o big to give his possible location, but will prosecute some suit in some ordinary court of justice to prevent or redress some wrong. O O O CLEMENT J. TAYLOR. Born, reared, and cultivated on a small farm in Hardin-County, Ohio,' Clement J. Taylor began his his short span of life August 21, 1869. The stock of the tree of which he is a branch was English. At the age of ten, his father having died, he be- came a resident of a village. Here, as a bo-y, earn- ing his own way, and helping his family, he secured an education, by attending school four months dur- ing the winter, and the remainder of the year work- ing at whatever he could get to do-farm work, in the saw mill, factory, or store. He managed to at- tend an academy and the Ada University. and after- ward spent several years teaching. Following the advice of Horace Greeley to go west and grow up with the country,', he went to La Veta. Colorado. where he secured the superintendency of the city schools. Here he met a fair Kansas damsel, Miss Gillette, of Ottawa, and won her for his bride. In 1897, coming to Kansas to visit his wife's folks, he decided to stay, and in the fall of 1899, entered the Senior Law Class. , O O O J. VV. GABA Was born October 19, 1877, at Decatur, Ill.
