Society Swings Out--an account of Mt. Orcad society

Once again that weather man has played a trick on us. Instead of the hoped for sunshine and thaw, the wind is whipping in from the west and another cold wave is here. Snow suits and heavy jackets worn perpetually since Christmas will continue to be favored garments for out-of-door wear.
For those who desire an "escape" from winter but are unable to take a dash into warmer climes, the movies with their short subjects of tropical Edens are presented.
But somehow glimpses of sunburned people with squint lines about their eyes and sun-dried hair kill the appeal that is generally ascribed to these inhabitants of other regions. Surely a red nose is more attractive and less lasting than these features. So, unless you shy from a Polly-anna attitude observe that Kan-e'c41; activity obsession.

Enrolled in University at 13; Holds Youngest Age Record
The days of Horatio Alger are not dead. At least there's a typical "Bound To Win" story in the files of the Alumni office.
J. D. Ramsey CwO were student conductor of University's Glee Club at a meeting session. Ramsey has sung in the musical organization during each of his four years as a student.
It is the story of Homer Hoyt, 138, the youngest student ever to enter the University. In the fall of 1909, he enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, when he was a budding 13-year-old, thereby setting a record which has never been broken.
Young Homer lived on a farm near Kansas City, Kan., with his widowed mother, who was determined that he should have the benefits of a college education. So one day in the fall of 1909 she bundled him on a sorrel mare, gave him $15, and started him on his own farm. In 1916, Kansas City, Kan., to Lawrence, Concerning that particular bright spot in his life he says:
"When I caught sight of the towers of Frasher hall at a point in the road 17 miles from Lawrence, my heart was filled with joy. It was the goal of my ambitions, the "City of Learn," that was to lead into a great world."

Ed Young
E. W. Young
During his four years of college, Hoy worked his way through school, holding his expenses to an unbelievably low average.
"I managed to live during the four years I was at K.U." he said, "but I barely managed. I probably lived on the lowest budget ever recorded at the University. My expenses did not include board, room, and everything else."
In spite of all this economizing,
however, Hoyt played guard on the
senior football team, and was elected
to Phi Beta Kappa, and Delta Sigma
Rho. And all this when he was 16
years old!
School Projects Chosen by N.Y.A.
Hoyt was graduated in 1913 before he was 17, receiving his master's degree the same summer as his bachelor's. He started out into the world of art, and most of us are still wondering when we are going to get out of high school.
Fifteen types of work projects under the University's NYA will be written up and sent into the national office for a study directed toward improvement of the government's infrastructure by Dr. Kihmoa Klimah announced yesterday.
Hoyt is now principal housing economist for the Federal Housing Administration. He has taught in several universities, among them the University of North Carolina, the University of Missouri, and the University of Florida, where he books on economies and real estate. One of the more recent, One Hundred Years of Land Values in Chicago, has been a best seller in its field.
The University was chosen by Miss Laughlin, state director, on the request of the national office to pick one university or college in Kansas where there was an NYA program. The basic value of the work to
students, educationally, socially, and for its work experience value will be the criteria for determining the integrity of the work activities described by the University.
Miss Tullian said that some of the projects selected will be as follows: improvements in ground; construction of chemical laboratory equipment; a representative clerical position; a library project; paleontology work at Dyche Museum; a book supplement for sixth grade students; and rejection of Prof. Bert Nash of the School of Education; a description of the hospital work; and experiments in home economics.
