journalistic. In the fall of 1894 the then Senior Class cf but forty-seven members were seized with the desire to herald abroad the fame of their beloved institution, and being of an adver- tising turn of mind, they resolved to pub- lish a monthly journal under the name of the Kansas Lawyer. XV hen the Kansas Lawyer was started, there were sages and prophets who predicted for it a short career, and when it was launched on the turbulent waves of life. the world laughed and said: tfOh, you foolish builders! it can never survive. The.storms it must encounter will cast it upon the hid- den shoals. Venture not or all will be lost. But, undaunted by reproach, it darted into the waters of experience. XVinds blew, waves dashed, but how fearless it rode! for the storms came but from the mouths of the Arts and the waves they caused to dash were but the light, foamy spray of an eifervescent jealousy. y Greater intercst is continually being mani- fested in the Lawyer, both by the staff and by the members of the bar. The great aim of the staff is to secure contributions from men of prominence and authority in the legal profession. Among those who have aided ,us in this way are the names of Judge C. L. Dobson, of Kansas City, Mo., E. D. Ken- na, of Chicago, Ill., Stephen H. Allen, ex- Associate Justice of the State Supreme Court, Henry C. Caldwell, United States Circuit Judge, of Little Rock, Ark.5 and Associate Justice David J. Brewer, of XVashington, D. C. This year the staff-officers are as follows: Editor-in-Chief: Otto Sump. Assita-nt : Lorne E. Gartley. Associate Editors : J. A. Overlander, R. E. Everett J. H. Tolan, L. M. Gensman. 7 Local Editors: E. P. Rochester, J. H. McGraw. Treasurer: Margaret E. Casey. ' Business M aaagers: Otto Sump, Acting, Hale R. Hamilton Owing to circumstances, the writer has been compelled to assume the duties of busi- ness manager as well as those of editor-in- chief. It has been a most burdensome duty to issue the ten numbers, involving much time and work, but we feel more than repaid by the experiencewe have gained. But the time has now come when we must consign the management of the Lawyer to the hands of anotherg when, after two years of pleas- ant association, the first year as assistant editor, and this year in the present capacity, we must bid it adieu.

YVhen it is remembered that the company formed from the State educational institutions was as- signed to another regiment, it is all the more conclusive evidence of the University's influ- ence on all S-tate institutions to note that of the University men connected with the regi- ment, two became generals, one a lieutenant- colonel, six held the rank of captain, tive the rank of first lieutenant, and one the rank of second lieutenant 5 that of the non- commissioned 'staff of the regiment, three University men were hospital stewards, and W one was regimental quarter-master sergeant 5 that in the ranks of the various compa- nies University men were holding non-com- misioned otlices, as first sergeant, second ser- geants, and corporalsg that every company had its University representative, and that all or nearly all of them were holding posi- tions of trust and responsibility. That a university education makes a man a good soldier is evidenced by the fact that while but one man in twenty-five in the regi- ment became an otlicer, one in every three a.nd a fraction of the Kansas University men obtained that rank. It is still more gratify- ing tothe Law Alumni to note that of its representatives, nine were commissioned and the other two were non-commissioned ofhcers. GEN'L W. S. METCALF, '97, who went out as junior major, has just recently been commis- sioned a brigadier general by brevet. He was twice woundedrwhiie in the service, a Mauser bullet passing through his ear at Caloocan, and another through his foot atBocane, Luzon, P. I., the latter wound being very serious and painful. It must be conceded by all that General Met- calf's military pride, precision, and information did more towards perfecting the discipline and promoting the eiiiciency of the regiment than any other combination of influences. CAPT.. FRED E. BUCHAN, '95, had had military training as an officer of the Kansas National Guards. He acted as adjutant-general of the 2d Brigade, 2d Division, 8 A. C., in Manila be- fore the insurrection, and was in command of the first battalion of the 20th Kansas in its first series of engagements. The serious illness and death of his wife, Lucinda Smith Buchan, Arts '95, terminated his service with the regiment in the P. I's. He has, since his discharge, been commissioned a second lieutenant in the Regu- lar Army, and assigned to the Sixth Cavalry. LIEUT.-COL. E. C. LITTLE, '86, had had little previous military ti-aiming, but being an ardent student, he soon fitted himself for his position. His big-hearted disposition made him a favor- ite among the men of his battalion. His inter- est in and care for the safety of his men re- sulted in some very unfair criticism, but no one who ever saw Ed Little under Hre approves such criticism. ' CAPT. EDVVARD L. GLASGOW went out as iirst lieutenant of Company M, but was promoted captain and assigned to the command of a company. Entering the service with no pre- vious military training, he soon became rec- ognized as one of the most eiiicient oiiicers in the regiment, When the 11th Cavalry, United States Volunteers, was formed at Manila, Glas- gow was given a commission as captain, in which capacity he is still serving. And here 's hoping that the boys who are still serving their country in- the far-off tropic isles will receive regular promotions, and will be permitted to return in health and strength to their native State. -53-
