Veta Lear, Assistant to Dean Dies Following Long Illness
The death of Veta Lear, 71, was "undoubtedly a loss" to all who knew her, George R. Waggoner, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said.
Miss Lear died Nov. 18 in her home after a long illness. She retired in October, 1958 as assistant to the dean of the College. In her 38 years in the College office, Miss Lear served under four deans: Olin Templin, Joseph G. Brandt, Paul B. Lawson and Dean Waggoner.
SHE WAS BORN AT STEFFON-
ville, Mo., in 1890. Her family moved
to Columbus, Kan., when she was a
junior in high school. She graduated
from the Cherokee County high
school in 1909.
While at KU, she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, national honor society for the liberal arts and sciences. She served as secretary of the KU chapter from 1923 to 1932 and as vice president from 1944 to 1946.
After studying a year at the University of Illinois, she discontinued her studies for a year. She then came to KU where she received her A.B. degree in 1914.
AFTER GRADUATION, Miss Lea taught Latin and German at Osawatomie high school. In 1917 she became principal of Anthony (Kan.) high school.
Miss Lear came to Lawrence in 1919 where she taught Latin in the
high school. She was appointed secretary of the College in 1920 and was later promoted to assistant to the dean.
While in the College office, she was counselor and adviser to many of the students who worked part time in the office.

NEW YORK—(UPI)—The family canine might eat you out of house and home but he's worth the expense. He's a cheap form of psychotherapy.

Wheeze Total
NEW YORK—(UPI)—The allergy Foundation of America estimates that up to four million Americans suffer from bronchial asthma.
This form of asthma is a chronic allergic reaction in the bronchial tree. The foundation said it is most often found in persons with a family history of allergy, but it may develop gradually during a bronchial infection. It also may set in suddenly after exposure to an allergen.
