This makes the seventh year that William Osburn, '77, has been connected with the Central Tennessee College, Nashville, Tenn. He is at the head of the Natural Sciences and during the present year has also taught Histology and Bacteriology in the Medical Department of the College. Prof. Osburn has sent recently to the University a box of entomological specimens for exchange.
Quite a number of the Alumni have made short visits to Lawrence and the University in the past ten days. C.C.Brown,'96, snatched enough time from his pedagogical duties at Olathe to come up and assure himself that the University had not been obliterated. Maude Nichols,'96, of Olathe, took advantage of the Kappa theatre and visited old friends. The old politicians of the University were gladdened by a sight of A.O.Garrett,'94. Mr. Garrett no longer delves in politics however, but is engrossed in teaching sciences in the Fort Scott High School. W.E.Higgins came up from Kansas City for the Phi Delt function.
University people had the pleasure of a brief visit Wednesday from Rev. Joseph E. Curry, '86, who conducted Chapel on that morning. Rev. Curry is now located at Cranbury, New Jersey, where he is installed as pastor of the Presbyterian Church. Graduating from this
University in 1886, Mr. Curry attended New College, Edinburg, Scotland, during the year 1887-88. The following year was passed at Princeton Theological Seminary, and in 1889 he graduated from the Zenia Theological Seminary. During the years 1889-94 Rev. Curry was pastor of the Huntsville United Presbyterian Church, Huntsville, New Jersey, and since 1894 has been pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Cranbury, New Jersey. He is now preaching for a short time in Topeka and will soon return to the east.
Mr. C. C. Crew left Lawrence Monday of this week for Holly, Colorado, where he has accepted a position with the Amity Land and Irrigation Company. Mr.Crew graduated from the University in the School of Engineering June last, and during the present academic year has been doing post-graduate work in Engineering. Upon Professor Emch's resignation as Assistant in Graphics Mr. Crew was appointed to take charge of the classes in draughting and has conducted these classes since that time. In Colorado he will do general Canal and Irrigation Engineering work for the Amity Company. That success will follow his efforts his friends have no reason to doubt.
The second volume of the University Geological Survey, by Prof. Erasmus Haworth,'81, and assistants has just been received from the state printer. It comprises the stratigraphy and general geology of Western Kansas including the Upper Permian, the Cretaceous, and the Tertiary. Among others Prof. Haworth has been assisted ably by W. M. Lopan,'96, principal of the Pleasanton High School. Other contributors are Prof. C. S. Prosser, J. W. Beede, and Prof. S. W. Williston. The publication of two important volumes on the geology of Kansas within less than a year is an achievement of which any one might justly be proud. That this work is all done under University supervision and for the most part by University men is another cause for gratification, and disproves the erroneous belief that the University is not of direct value to the people of the commonwealth.
