Miss Alberta Corbin, '93, writes from Yale. "I enjoy my work greatly. I heard Reverend E.E.Hale last evening in an informal talk before the Divinity School, a talk exhibiting that broad humanity and depth of charity which gives one confidence in the goodness of God and man."
His base ball and other friends will be glad to learn of J. C. Kelsey's success in Electrical Engineering work. Since leaving the University in '95, Mr. Kelsey has been engaged constantly in the pursuit of his profession and is now superintending the construction of an electric street railway in Stanton, Illinois. Upon finishing this undertaking he will go to Southern Missouri to do similar work.

Learned, Germanic Languages and Literature, University of Pennsylvania, to become a contributing editor to the Quarterly Americana Germanica. This periodical is devoted to the literary and linguistic relations of Germany and America and it is especially desired to have articles representing German Literature, language and folk lore both in Germany and America. MacMillian & Company are the publishers.
Among the many Alumni of the University
who have snatched enough time from business to round out their education in other schools is Thornton Cooke, '93. Mr. Cooke is now attending Harvard, 511 Wendell, and will probably come up for his A.M. this year along with R.W. Cone,'95. Since graduation,Mr. Cooke has been connected with the bank of Herington and is the author of "The Panic and Western Country Banks" and "Provincial Hostility to Banks."
Out of eighty-two state teachers certificates granted to graduates under the law of 1893 twenty have been granted to graduates of the State University.
E. C. Franklin, '98, Associate Professor of Chemistry left Lawrence Sunday afternoon for Los Quemadas, Costa Rica, to accept a position as chemist in a gold mine. Prof. Franklin goes direct to New Orleans, and there takes a steamer to the coast of Costa Rica. From there he journeys by rail to the Capital, San Jose, thence overland to Los Quemadas. Ever since graduation Prof. Franklin has been connected with the University in the department of Chemistry, with the exception of two years spent in study at John Hopkins and the University of Berlin. A man of great personal charm and highest scholarship the University would lose more were he gone for good instead of upon a years leave of absence. May the end of that time see him safely returned to us.
