Fireman, Doctor, Director, Chief--- It's Harold (Orson Welles) Ingham
How to keep out of the hospital should be no problem to Harold G. Ingham, extension division director. He has two doctors in the family, his son and his daughter's husband.
He even has been mistaken for an M.D. As head of the extension division, he has worked with the state medical society and other medical groups so often that he has learned their vocabulary. Many doctors, thinking him a member of their profession, have asked for his advice.
Mr. Ingham started his career as a hard worker in college. During his senior year he carried 19 hours of academic work the first semester and 24 hours his final term.
On occasion he has been also mistaken for a fireman. As director of the State Fire school, he attends many fireman's conventions and and keeps up with the latest fire prevention and fire fighting techniques.
"Naturally, I didn't go out for baseball, basketball, or track during these semesters as I had done before," Mr. Ingham said. "I didn't have time.
His first full-time job after graduation from college was bookkeeper for a dairy farm which specialized in sausages and other pork products.
Being meticulous almost to a fault is his hobby, say his secretaries and those who work with him. He also stresses correctness in the smallest detail which the average person would overlook, and if he has any spare time, he searches for more details which need correcting.
As director of the extension division, he has charge of the University radio station, KFKU, correspondence classes, and extension classes in Kansas City, Wichita, and Topeka. In addition, he is chairman of debate materials for the Nation! University Extension association.
Before coming to the University in 1915 as secretary of the correspondence study department, Mr Ingham worked in the extension division at the University of Wisconsin. In 1917, he was appointed acting director of the extension division
here, and in 1921 he became director.
Mr. Ingham received the bachelor of arts degree at Milton college in Wisconsin in 1909, and did graduate work at the University of Wisconsin.

'K.U.-by-Mail' Classes Make a 'Mountain'
A mountain can be moved!
A mountain of mail is exchanged each year through the University's correspondence bureau.
About a thousand of the 5,222 persons enrolled in the extension division's correspondence bureau between July 1, 1944, and June 30, 1945, were overseas students, Miss Ruth Kenney, secretary of the correspondence study bureau said.
"Students from 38 states, Alaska, Canada, Venezuela, and all places in Europe, Africa, and the Pacific where our troops have been, were taking our correspondence courses," Miss Kenney said.
Battles were hard on books. Sometimes in the rush to the front, students had to leave behind all materials except frontline equipment, and schoolbooks were among the articles missing when the men returned to
The Navy has added a few more to the multitude of new men on the campus, Sixty-seven V-5 naval aviation trainees from Ames, Iowa, moved in Saturday, Comdr. R. J. Baum, executive officer in the University Navy unit, said today.
Navy Adds 67 V-5's To Campus PT's
The men will live in the PT's and will eat in the Navy chow hall, the Union ballroom, along with the V-12 trainees. The V-5'will study regular college courses related to their field, Comdr, Baum said, and will be permitted to participate in all activities.
These men are either second or third semester students. There is no assurance that they will complete more than one semester here.
Part of K-State Trailertown Burns
Manhattan, (UP) — A large-sized trailer, housing lavatory and bathing facilities in the 100-trailer community for married ex-servicemen students at Kansas State college was destroyed by fire today.
The fire was discovered by the wife of a veteran living at the trailer site. Volunteers kept the flames from spreading through the community. The college fire fighting department extinguished the blaze.
camp. In such cases the University made replacements.
Damage was estimated at $3,000. The fire apparently was caused by an oil heating unit in the trailer.
Some navy men lost books when their ships were sunk. The biggest handicap in such instances was the delay while waiting for new books to arrive.
Correspondence enrollees include former students who are trying to accumulate a few more hours toward a degree, high school graduates who cannot come to the University and are taking a few hours in fields that will help them in their work, and high school students who lack units and are allowed to finish high school in this way.
Advantages to this system of getting an education are that a student can start his course at any time convenient for him, work at his lessons when he feels like it and has time, and can get credit for it whenever he has finished it satisfactorily, Miss Kenny said.
St. Louis Makes
400 Per Cent
On $500 Motorcycle
St. Louis. (UP)—Bet you never made more than 400 per cent on a six-month investment.
The City of St. Louis did.
In June park commissioner Palmer B. Baumes ordered the purchase of a motorcycle so Forest Park police could enforce a 30-mile-an-hour park speed limit.
The machine cost $500.
Since it was bought, Baumes said, the city has netted $2.675 in fines from park traffic violators.
