Tremper, 76, upholder of legal ethics, is visiting his alma mater, and thinks of locating in Kansas. Success to you, "Tremp." J. J. Houston is at Garnett. We are sorry to learn that "Jim" has been afflicted with rheumatism during the greater part of vacation. Of the class of 78, Miss Anna Mozley is teaching at Wyandotte, Miss De Etta Warren at Manhattan, and Miss Kate Williams at Lawrence. Miss Lizzie Yeagley, a former student of the Kansas State University, but now a resident of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is visiting friends in the city. John M. Walker, '80, is in Kansas City, and is connected with the city circulation of the Daily Journal. John has decided not to enter the regular army. Harry Rankin, after a severe examination, succeeded in entering the U. S. Naval Academy, at the head of his class. Harry is now a full fledged cadet midshipman. E. P. Tremper, who has been sick for about a month, is, we are happy to state, rapidly recovering, and will soon show his familiar countenance at the Western Union Telegraph Office. Frank D. Altman, '80, is a member of the present Junior class of Wittenberg. He favored Lawrence with a visit during vacation. Frank cannot stay away from his first love. Elmer B.

Colin Timmons, '77, the logician, is principal of the city schools of Louisburg, Kansas. From a private letter we learn he spends his leisure moments in the philosophical study of Baxter's "Saint's Rest." Frank P. Clarke, who, in times gone by, was accustomed to give vent to his eloquence in University Hall, is now Deputy Circuit Clerk of Jackson County, Mo., and is located at Kansas City. He will probably soon sail for France. Frank H. Morgan, the mention of whose name will recall many recollections to the minds of the older students, having recently graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has been honored with a tutorship in that institution. Bion S. Hutchins, 80, is in charge of the schools of Thayer, Kansas. Hutchins won for himself more than a local reputation last summer as an instructor in the Montgomery County Normal Institute. Mr.H.intends to resume his studies in the University next session. P. W. Magrath, an ex-student of K. S. U., and latterly a graduate of the Law Department of Michigan University, has formed a co partnership with A. H. Kagy, of Kansas City, for the practice of his profession. We are sure all students of the Kansas University having legal business in Kansas City will place it in the hands of Magrath & Kagy. Will F. Sargent, 76, occupies a responsible position in the new banking house of Armour Bros., of Kansas City, Mo. "Soc." was first connected with the First National Bank, and when that institution closed its doors he stepped into the employ of the Mastin Bank, when they "Crisped" he was offered a similar position in the new bank above mentioned, and in which he will probably remain. Frank F. Dinsmoor, 75, still "holds the fort" at the Court House. Frank is an honored son of K. S. U., has served one term as Superintendent of Public Instruction in Douglas County, and was unanimously nominated by his party for reelection. The State Superintendent lately complimented Dinsmoor very highly upon having the best annual report of any Superintendent in the State. He is deservedly popular in Douglas County, and will be re-elected by a handsome majority. The Kansas Academy of Science held an interesting session at Topeka, on the 8th and 9th inst. Papers were read, by Prof. Patrick, "On some Kansas Minerals," and "On the so-called 'Alkali;'" by Prof. Snow, "On Additions to the Catalogue of Kansas Birds," and "On the Dermal Covering of the Mosasauroid Reptiles of the Cretaceous Formation in Western Kansas;" by Miss Anna Mozley, "On the Relation of Insects to Plants." On Wednesday evening, Prof. Snow delivered an able and interesting lecture, in Representative Hall, on the subject"The Birds of Kansas."
