—John F. Tucker, '83, whose name is inseparably connected with Orophilian society, left on the 15th ult. for the great Theological University of the Congregational Church at Andover, Mass., where he will take a three year's course.
—S. W. Brewster has been studying law in Thayer, Kan., during the past summer. After continuing his reading a year he will settle down at Chanute as a disciple of Blackstone, with "reduced prices to students."
Frank Todd, a former University favorite, is a partner in the firm of L. L. Todd & Co., proprietors of the Atchison Transit Co. It is rumored in Atchison society circles that Frank is to enter into a life partnership with one of the fairest and wealthiest belles of that city.
—C. C. Ramsey, whom the Oreads elected debater a year ago, was lost to student view for a long while. He is, however, on the top of the heap, with a degree M.A. from an eastern institution, and "Prof. of Mathematics" put opposite his name in the catalogue of Healdsburg College, Colorado.
—Clarence Smith is neither a Bachelor of Didactics or a Bachelor of Arts, yet is as successful as any of those who have left K. S.U. with their beribboned parchment. He draws his thousand dollars per year as superintendent of public instruction in Wyandott county, and is so well liked that he will be honored with another term.
Munsell-McKean. Another acquaintance formed in the University, consummated this summer in marriage.E.A.Munsell, of Council Grove, was united in wedlock to Miss Virginia McKean, at the home of the bride's parents at Erie, Pa., on the 5th of July. Miss McKean is a member of the K.A.T.society,has a sweet disposition, graceful deportment and winning manners. She was most popular in the University and possesses a host of friends.Her father,
Thos. McKean, is editor of the Erie Sunday Gazette, and Mrs. Prof. Marvin of this place is a sister. She has the kindest wishes of all who know her. On Mr. Munsell different people place different estimates.
It is always an especial pleasure to us to be able to notice any high advancement of those who worked their way through the University by "the sweat of their brow.' We therefore gladly record that Erasmus Haworth has been called to the chair of Natural Science in Penn College, Iowa. The fine collection of minerals which has filled the cabinet in the west chemical laboratory was Mr. Haworth's. He has spent the last summer in south-eastern Kansas and the adjoining portion of Missouri, making a study of the lead, zinc and other geological resources of that region. These researches he will embrace in a pamphlet of some seventy-five or one hundred pages, and present it to the faculty as his thesis for the Master's degree, next June.
—Sterling-Fellows. During July two of our best known students, M. W. Sterling and Miss Cara Fellows, were married in Lawrence. To those who were acquainted with the contracting parties, the announcement of the event was received, if not with startling surprise, at least with great pleasure. Mr. Sterling is one of the boys whom the University can call her own, and show claims him as an instructor. Accepting a place as janitor in his freshman year, he has worked his way up to his present position by the most determined efforts of both brain and muscle. Only success attends such exertions. The bride, Miss Fellows, has been thorough in her work as a student, and has won the cordial liking of those around her. Both stand high in University society. The I. C. Sorosis, of which the bride is a member, presented a fine china tea set. The Phi Psi Fraternity, which proudly claims Mr. Sterling, gave half a dozen silver teaspoons. W. C. Spangler and Miss Hattie Fellows acted as attendants.
