Fewer Kansas graduates have attended other American Universities. But wherever they have gone they have made the same honorable record. W. H. Johnson, E. Haworth and E. C. Franklin attended Johns Hopkins, the latter two taking the doctor's degree. W. S. Franklin received the degree S. D. from Cornell, Anna L McKinnon the degree Ph.D., V. L. Kellogg his M. S. and Effie J. Scott, A. B.; E. C. Case was a member of the Cornell colony, but took his Ph. D. at Chicago. J. F. Carlson is the only one of our graduates in the School of Arts of Columbia, but Geo. B. Watson, P.L. Soper, Scott Hopkins, J. W. Gleed and several others graduated from the Columbia Law School, while E. G. Blair distinguished himself in the Medical School and was succeeded by Chas. H. Johnson and others. The Medical School of the University of Pennsylvania has attracted quite a group of K. U. graduates: D. E. Esterly, Ernest F. Robinson, James V. May, B. M. Dickinson, D. H.

Long is Professor of Chemistry in Northwestern University; J. A. Wickersham, Professor of Modern Languages in the Rose Polytechnic; J. D. McLaren, Professor of Biology in South Dakota; A. E. Curdy, Professor of Modern Languages in the Orchard Lake Academy, W. S. Franklin, Professor of Physics in the Iowa Agricultural College; V. L.
