Folsom Man 'Pet' of Eisley New Sociologist Here To Delve Into Archaeology of Kansas
The Folsom man — the earliest known culture so far located on the American continent — is a specialty of Dr. Lorren C. Eisley, newly appointed assistant professor of sociology at the University.
Doctor Easilay, a graduate of the University of Nebraska, has made extensive study of evidences of prehistoric man in Nebraska, and the author was involved in Dioniphon county, Kansas, with the exploring party from the United
LOREN COREY BISELEY
States National Museum. He plans to devote additional study to the problems of Kansas archaeology this year.
Remains of the Folsom man and his culture, now avidly sought by prominent institutions through the High Plains area, have been found associated with long-extinct animals generally regarded as belonging to the Pleistocene age. These animals include the cannel, extinct American horse, musk ox, giant extinct bison, and the mammoth.
Doctor Esley referred to the pioneer work of the late Prof. S. W. Williston, famous Kansas paleontologist, in revealing the presence of early man in the Midwest area, and expressed confidence that investigations would reveal more such occurrences in Kansas as were reported 30 years ago by Doctor Williston and H. T. Martin of the University of Kansas. Dyche the skeleton of the University has the skeleton of species of bison, found with an Indian arrowhead beneath the shoulder blade. Authenticity of the find was long disputed by scientists.
horticultural peoples of later times will, he says, undoubtedly be revealed in Kansas.
"Finds of later years," Doctor Elsie says, "fully corroborate Doctor Willison's report of the association of a dart point with an extinct species of bison. Such reports are no longer question for argument. Though the exact time of extinction, of certain of these ice-age animals is a problem, few would estimate the chapled time since their disappearance as less than 10,000 years."
The possibilities for archaeological research in Kansas impress Doctor Eldreycke. Chicago is the early nomadic hunter of extinct binon to the semi-
Karsans having knowledge of Indian sites of any nature are urged by Doctor Easley to get in touch with he University, as irreparable harm an result from unsciecient digging. Attempts by untrained persons to ex-avate important sites often hamper he work of the archaeologist who wishes to obtain exact information concerning the diffusion and s-equence of prehistoric cultures in America.

Hoover H. Jordan of Ithaca, NY, to be instructor in English, to take the place of Geo. H. Hartmann, resigned. Mr. Jordain received his A.B. degree from Ithaca in 1934, and his M.A. from Cornell in 1935. He has completed his work at Cornell for his Ph.D. degree.
