Failing: Too great sensitiveness about his pink complexion. l1Vill practice law. 76. JOHN E. LOWE. In the valley of Salomon, Phillips county, Kansas, August 21, 1879, was born one of the CCarriej Nation's most illustrious sons, J. E. Lowe. That his career has been well in keeping with his fortuitous place of birth is certain. I-Ie graduated at the Phillipsburg high school in 1898, and attended the advanced course in the Leavenworth high school. Xdfas a student at the Agricultural College at Manhattan, Kansas, for three years, which explains his frequent use of the word 'AManhattan. Like many great men he was a pedagogue for some time.

Among the things he intends to do in life is included the practice of law. Is soft-soaper in ordinary of the Greasers' Club. . 77. ARTHUR GUsrAvUs ADOLPHUS NELsoN. The politician of the Junior class, was born at Shickley, Nebraska, December 29, 1879, where he has since made his home. At an early age he began to fit himself for the varied duties of a lawyerls life and in 1897 graduated from the Shickley high school.

After some experience at teaching in a parochial school he entered the Nebraska Law School. Is a member of the Union society, president 'of the University Roosevelt Club, one of the Glee Club's strongest bass singers, and was presi- dent of his law class last year. Broadly educated, a politician by nature as well as by choice, a popular friend and ardent admirer of the gentler sex, with a manner and dignity well becoming an inchoate lawyer, Arthur's future is certainly most promising. 78. BENJ. F. BUTLER. Acacia. Not the Benj. F. of Civil war fame, Wfas born at Calhoun, Iowa, June 20, 1881. Registers from Cambridge, Nebraska. Ben is one of the most distinguished members of a distinguished class. He is now at the pinnacle of class honors, being president for this semester. Was secretary last semester. Not only has he acquired honors for his rank as a student and for ability as a class politician, but has made good on all class football and baseball teams. Ben's chief failings are C15 a mischievous pro- pensity for conning Ayers, and C25 an extraordinary affection for syllabi. Says he will practice law, and, if his school life is any criterion for the fu- t-ure, Ben will attain an enviable eminence at the bar. 79. VVILLIAM CLARK PARRIOTT is a product of Nebraska. I-Ie graduated from the Nebraska State Normal at Peru in 1896. Taught school three years and served as county superintendent of public instruction for Nemaha county for four years.

Mr. ShawVan expects to prac- tice law after graduation. From the interest he has manifested in common law pleading it is thought by some that he aspires to be either an assistant to or a successor of Prof. Ayers. 32

After a varied experience as farmer, school teacher, and business man he decided to gratify his life-long ambition for a career as a lawyer- statesman, and so entered the Nebraska Law School in the fall of 'O5. He has been a close and conscientious student, and -having the advantage of years of experience his rise in the profession will doubtless be rapid.

Mr. Ryan has been with us only the past year, as he took his first year's law work at a law school in St. Louis. But during that short time he has proved himself a good fellow and a capable student. He intends to practice law, most likely in Idaho, after finishing his course here. May success attend him in his efforts. 74. HERBERT WILSON Posr. Phi Kappa Psi.

He has held a numbernof positions in the cadet battalion, and at present is a member of the Mandolin Club. His great failing is a disposition to take life too seriously, and with eye single toward the future to deny himself the proper pleasures of youth.
