40. ALFRED H. LUNDIN. Home and place of birth, Lead, South Dakota. In the College of Law he has the reputation of never having been called upon and found wanting, and his grades are close at the heels of the chosen few. The College of Law, however, is acquainted with only half his activities. He takes with him next june an A.B. as well as an LL.B. Is an earnest Y. M. C. A. worker and a strong man on the football team. Lundin is a member of Delta Upsilon, Phi Delta Phi, Vikings, and Innocents. There is little doubt that the bold, hot blood of the Vikings courses through his veins, but his claim to Innocents-well, since the morning of the partnership exam we have begun to doubt everybody. The promoters of many a social stunt have sub- mitted to his edicts, and as to informal affairs down to and including bench work, they say he just will have his way. Seldom do you find such an abun- dance of good nature coupled with such unyielding persistency in satisfying ambitions. Expects to practice. 41. ARCHIE I. STRATTON. Sigma Chi. Phi Delta Phi. Theta Nu Epsilon. Vikings. Ye peaceful bailiwick of lfVahoo is honored as his birthplace. Born 1882. Of his early years little is to be said. His history commences with his advent to the University of Nebraska in 1898, when his experiences com- menced and followed thick and fast for two years. Here it was he gained the appellation of Fat, for the physical phenomena of being as thick as he was long. At the end of two years for reasons unstated his father placed him on a ranch in Colorado and he breathed the unpolluted air of the cow camps for three years. He returned to the University to take law in 1903, his only i7l'lf7Cd'I'77LC71-fd being a boiled' shirt tied in a bandana kerchief, his being encased in corduroys and a flannel shirt. He turned out to be a 'fjoinerf' making three inter-fraternities the hrst semester after his return, but society he scorned and side-stepped the ladies like an ancient mariner boxing the com- pass g-be it remembered, however, the compass won on points and so did the ladies. His chair in the good-fellows club is now vacant and his friends are putting up something on the side for a wedding in june. 42. LLOYD OSCAR CROCKER. Home address, Filley, Gage county, Ne- braska, at which place he was born. As a true Nebraskan he has no lack of enthusiasm. Took preparatory work at the Wesleyan academy, being at that time a popular member of the Everett society. Save for his semi-monthly quasi-social trips home, he has been faithful to his study of the law. His manner bespeaks importance, pride, and confidence in very proper propor- tions. A man of good habits, a good disposition, and always a good friend. He refuses to make known his intention after the close of the school year, yet many of his fellow students could make a happy guessf, We wish him good luck. 43. MARTIN LUTHER KIMMEL. Born at Tekamah, Nebraska. Graduated at the Lincoln high school, where he was both football player and debater. Has done some debating since entering the University. Has the appearance of a great man and the attitude of one buried in thought. For three years he has been a faithful attendant, though innate diffidence has sometimes inter- fered with his recitations in class. When he graduates he will get busy at something. Will sing his way through a sunny threescore years and ten. 44. FLOYD LooM1s BOLLEN. january 18, 1875, and Wells, Minnesota, are the place and date to be famous because of the birth of Bollen. After ob- taining the degree of Bachelor of Science at the Fremont Normal in 1897, he entered into business. But preferring the deep and intricate study of the law to a lucrative hardware business, he entered the University of Nebraska. There he has shone as a particularly bright light in partnership. His mine of linogzledge, studious habits, and appearance of prosperity insure his success at tie ar. 22

35. JOHN L. SAWVER. This silver-tongued orator hails from Torrington, 'vVyoming. There he attended certain sod schoolhouses and, like Lincoln, under diliieulties, managed to acquire an education. X'Vas hartlened for the contests and trials of life by his early experiences on a ranch. I-lis honors at the University are those quiet rewards which come from within from work well done. cases well tried, and examinations fairly passed. W'hen he gets his label next month he will throw a half-hitch over some good partner, brand his name on a shingle, and lasso all the clients in some wild, XVestern town. Is wielder of the sledge in the Knockers society, and one of the Seven Sleepers. 36. PETER FR.xNCIs O'G.xR.x. ls purely of Nebraska origin, although since our last publication we have learned that one of his remote ancestors hailed from the Emerald Isle. XVordsworth says, In trailing clouds of glory do we come, but Mr. O'Gara's lirst existence was an earthly one, being a sod shanty on the prairies of Nebraska. Born September 23, 1879, near the present town of Laurel, which he still claims as his domicile. Farmer, school- teacher, and bookkeeper are his landmarks. During the three years at the University he has made many friends among students and faculty. Among the latter there is no doubt but that Professor Robbins stands lirst. He is a member of the Palladian literary society. Politics is his long suit. Has the habit of applying Bryan democracy to every legal proposition, even to the rule in Shelly's case. I-Ie says that Parker has been cut out and that Bryan has the freehold and reversion. He expects to practice law and go to con- gress. Ilfe will watch his smoke. 37. CHARLES CHESTER BEAVERS. Sigma Chi. Mr. Beavers has not seen a checkered career. Iowa since 1883 has claimed him as her own. He pushed westward, however, before the Statute began to run, and is now domiciled in South Omaha. Beavers is a steady man. Except as prevented by illness he has always been numbered among those Where. He makes a specialty of pleading. His declarations are not multifarious, his replies never subject to demurrerg though he has been known to let a case go by default. XVe predict success to Beavers in any chosen line, and, if allowed to suggest, would say that while he stays out of the jewelry business, horology wants its master. IfVith his genial smile and a diamond in his ascot, he might sell sparkling circlets to the very queens of fashion. 38. XNILLIAM J. BALLARD. The patriarch of the class of '06, was born at Elgin, Illinois, in 1869. Attended the Iowa Agricultural School at Ames, from which he holds a B.Sc. The second semester of last year he entered the Law School. Mr. Ballard is a member of the students' Debating Club. Is a hard-working, painstaking student, well liked by all the fellows and a great favorite with the ladies. Declares he is growing young again. I-Iis intention is to practice law in Kansas, for which he has our sympathy. Home address, VVall Lake, Iowa. 39. FRED C. LAIRD. Alpha Tau Omega. Fred received an A.B. from Tabor College, Iowa, and, having a notion that law would suit him, he came to the University' of Nebraska in 1903. I-Ie immediately took a hand in foot- ball and baseball, and played on both the law teams that and the two years since. Laird is not only an athletic man but a conscientious student and a good fellow-who could wish to be more? Fred graduates this year and expects to practice law in the near vicinity. Is familiarly known as the jolly jester of the A. T. Ofs. 21
