PERSONAL.
—C. H. Carter, who attended the K. S. U. from '76 to '78, is publisher of the "Western Friend," at Quakervale, Kan.
The senior member of the firm of West & Humphrey of Fort Scott, brought home a pretty girl wife from the blue grass regions of Kentucky, last spring.
—Mrs. Kate (Smeed) Cross, wife of Chas. S. Cross, takes a prominent part in the social and musical circles of Emporia. She has a very fine musical education and is a constant student in that direction.
—L. D. L. Tosh, one of the University's Master of Arts, is engaged in a most prosperous real estate business in Lawrence. He shows little trace of the sick spell which carried him to the verge of the grave last year.
—Miss Luella Wilkinson, since leaving the University in June,'82, has been teaching with great success at her home in Ohio. Unable to withstand the temptations of a fine Kansas climate, she came out to spend the summer months with friends in Perry.
—All remember E. E. Lewis, that is, all who ever met him. Well, Elmer left Abilene and started out in the "Gem City Drug Store" at Solomon, doing a very successful business. He went east in July to cool off and enjoy a little recreation.
—Walter Challiss, an old member of Beta Theta Pi at this place, is traveling for Samuel Cupples & Co., of St. Louis. He still retains his old love of natural history; and, by the way, Dame Nature has repaid his admiration by adorning him with a magnificent new moustache.
Will E. Bolton, with a smile and a body alike thrice as big as an ordinary marshal, graduated at the State Normal School at Emporia last year. As Will was a member of the first year normal the year before he graduated at Emporia, the four years' course there can scarcely be longer than our three. We wish him success.
Herbert J. Humphrey, '81, who acted as principal of the West Angelos, Cal., schools last winter, is now studying law with his father in Junction City.
Geo. F. Gaumer, '76, is meeting with great success as Professor of the Natural Sciences in the University of New Mexico. He is a veritable disciple of Prof. Snow.
Miss Clara Bailey has numbered among Chase county's best teachers during the past year. She will however drop the pedagogic profession and devote her time to music.
Miss Decima Miles, a former member of '84, is acting as assistant post-master at Lane, also having charge of a set of books. She is still pursuing the course of study begun in the University.
Frank P. McLennan, '75, has been on the Empora Daily News for over five years, and one of three partners since 1880. He is a vigorous writer and is pronounced a number one business man.
The Misses Alice Van Buren, Winnie Halderman, Rose Wagner and Helen Baldwin, and W. E. Willis, all graduates of the Lawrence high school, join the freshman class of K. S. U. this year. All are bright students, well known already to many of our Mount Oread friends.
Geo. S. Scott filled a three months appointment at Clinton, near Boston, Mass., during the present summer. He goes to Xenia, Ohio, this month, to finish his theological studies, after which he will preach at Hamilton, Ohio, a city about the size of Atchison, Kan.
John T. Harlow used to rule the Orophilian society by his eloquence, and it seems that juries are influenced in the same manner. During the last term of court he lost but one case, and convicted every dealer in whiskey he prosecuted, one hour being the longest time the jury was out in any case.
