Lundin, R. H. Born in Lead, S. D,, where he has lived ever since. A graduate of the Lead high school and attended the Uni of Nebraska. Tall, com- manding, suave, magnetic, it is small wonder that he is first lieutenant of Co. A, was master of ceremonies of the Pershing hop, and chairman of the Junior prom. That he is a member of Delta Upsilon, Phi Delta Phi, and Pershing Rifles speaks for his popularity. That he is still single can be accounted for in no other way except that he is not matrimonially inclined. IVI cComb, Chas. This red-cheeked youth hails from Wilsonville, Neb., where he practiced farming and went to school incidentally. The high school of his home town sent him forth to seek the means with which to wield The magic Wand of justice. Hence We find him here at the U. of N. It is rumored that Professor Vifilson has an eye on him as a possibility for his next office boy. McDuffee, IVI. S. Was born in Nodaway, Iowa, but you must not infer from that that he is inclined to bow his head at the shrine of Morpheus more than is necessary. His home address is York, Neb. His mental training was received in part at Fremont Normal before taking law. Will try to harmonize Y. M. C. A, work with the practice of law. He has our heartfelt sympathy. McLaughlin, James Ross. Born in Blair, Neb. Lives in Missouri Valley, Iowa. Is a graduate of the Missouri Valley public schools. Belongs to the Kappa Sigma. Cook, Wilson, Robbins, and Pound willing, he will hang out his shingle. Curly-haired, ruddy-complexioned, blue-gray-eyed, slight, dapper, clothes cut a la mode, he is a favorite with the feminine persuasion, NIclVlahon,-IVI. C. Lebanon, Jewel county, Kan., is known only as the birthplace of this gentleman. At an early age his parents moved to Kearney, Neb., where he attended school before entering the University. A four-year high school course was completed in three years. In the near future he hopes to try his learning in the law on the unsuspecting public. Martin, T. M. Harvard, Neb., claims the responsibility of being his birthplace and home. Before attending the University he took a short course at Peru Normal. He is looked up to as authority on Secular f?J labor by the members of the Freshman Laws. He is the silver-tongued orator of the Maxwells, and it is predicted that J. T. Milek will have in him a worthy successor. Is pugnaciously inclined and is hard on the furni- ture. 56

Huffman, Yale. Evidently a sort of wandering minstrel. Born in Birmingham, Iowa. Lives in Sheridan, Wyo., and received his high school training at Fort Dodge, Iowa. Is a member of Delta Upsilon and Phi Delta Phi, yet does not expect to practice law. As to just what relation he holds with the great university which bears his name we are at present unable to even hazard a guess. Hupp, Glenn C. Wfas born in Strawn, lll. He got his high school education at McCook, Neb. At the University he has received many honors. He is a member of Delta Tau Delta, Vikings, and Phi Delta Phi. He was awarded a medal by the Lincoln tire department for rescuing two women from a fire, and then from a position upon the waterwagon directing the movements of the department, thereby saving a large part of the business district from destruction. He expects to practice law among the web-footed natives of Vlfashington. Hutchinson, John W. - First wept at Hastings, Iowa. Moved his parents to Corning so he could be in the state oratorical contest, representing Corning in 1900. A Hawkeye by birth, a druggist by profession, a lawyer by inclination. A social genial youth whom his friends call Buck Member of the Union society, Y. M. C. A., Maxwell club, and University Debating League. Kimmel, Luther. Born at Tekamah, Neb., and was reared in Lincoln. Won distinc- tion in Lincoln high school as a football player and a debater. Was chosen as a member of the interstate squad this fall. Belongs to no Uni organizations. There is hope, however, for he has a face like Beecher's, a platform style like Bryan's, is crafty as a red fox, has a penchant for coming late to torts and, too modest to recite when called upon, always DHSSGS. He has not yet posted his theses upon the door of the freak shop Ctrophy roomj. Kurtz, N. Vilas. 1 Was born at Cortland, Neb., and there he now resides. While attending school in that place he won a Second Prize in Interstate High School Debate. This is considered pretty good for a farmer. He says mayhem he will practice law. Unless the crops are poor indeed, N. Vilas, you had better stay by the farm. Mr. Kurtz is a Delian, Laird, Fred C. Was born in Sidney, Iowa, but he comes here from Tabor. He received his B. S. at Tabor College in the class of '03, He- is one of the men that worry the Varsity in the fall and play on the Law baseball team in the spring. He is debating with the Unions and will prey upon the pocketbooks of advice-seeking wrongdoers at the earliest opportunity. 55

Mathers, A. N. Born in Nebraska City. Lives now at Douglas, Neb. Formerly attended Nebraska Wesleyan University. Belongs to Maxwell club. In his list of University honors he boasts being a republican and having a Senior for a room-mate. In self-defense this Senior has suppressed his own name. Says his business is that of pedagogue, but whether a shinologist or a shoeologist we are unable to determine from appearances. Mattley, H. N. Born and flourished in Ord, Neb. Spent some time in the Ord high school, the Fremont Business College. and for two years has so- journed in the University of Nebraska. Is now assiduously applying himself to Freshman Law. There are law students and law students, but only one Mattley. Grave misfortune and overwhelming disaster have not marred his serene countenance, but his campaign for justice of the peace blasted his political career. Is now a silent partner Ccollectorj in the law firm of Mockett and Polk. Some think him an ex-Harvard law dean whom enemies ot the law instructors have hired to torment them during class hour with abstruse, finespun theories of law. Some think him Blackstone resurrected. We incline to the latter theory. Meyer, Oscar Maxwell. Born in Lincoln. Lives in Lincoln. Graduated from Lincoln high school and.expects to die in Lincoln. Is a collector by trade and a member ot Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Phi by choice. Members of the class will understand his recitations when they know that he does not expect to practice law. A desire to set him right before the class constrains us to make this explanation, as his innate modesty prevents his volunteering the information. To do him ample justice the com' mittee feel in duty bound to state further that the said Oscar Maxwell Meyer belongs to no other Meyers, Meier, or any other eier genus. He is genus, specie, all alone by himself. Merrill, L. B. Was born in Miles City, Mont. His home is now in Bridger, Mont. Before coming here he attended Uni of Washington, after gradu- ating from Miles City high school. His fraternity is Alpha Tau Omega. His thirst for knowledge of the law will certainly lead him to the bar. Metz, P. N. W Is a native of Odell, Ill., although he now hails from Sheridan, Wyo., where the demand for lawyers is always great. There he expects to strike terror to the hearts of the guilty. He is an active member of the Debating League and an Alpha Tau Omega. Also a member of the Law School crossiire question department. 57
