Had Been Head of Kansas German Department for 20 Years
Prof. Harry C. Thurman, for 20 years head of the German department at the University of Kansas, died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage the morning of 6, Aug. 1953, at his home at 1728 Indiana street. He was 38 years old.
His death was totally unexpected. Professor Thurraun was known widely over the state by former students and administrators who were organizations of which he was a member.
Among the groups to which he be- belonged was the Goethe Society of America, the American Association of University Professors, the Modern Language Association, and Theta Dehn Chi- national fraternity.
Harry Curtin Thumma, professor of German at the University of Kansas, was born on a farm near Edwardsville. Ill. Dec. 19, 1876.
His early education was obtained at the public schools of Edwardsville, and his preparatory education for college at the high school and academy of Northwestern University at Evansville. He later attended college, spending his first and second years at Concordia College, Fort Wayne, Ind., a German classical school. In the fall of 1897 he entered the University of Michigan, and was graduated with an A.B. degree in 1898, mastering in Latin and Greek and the
He had served as president of the University Club, and an president of the Lawrence Book Club. He was also a member of the Lawrence Country
After leaving the University of Michigan, Professor Thurman taught Latin and Greek for several years in a high school at Charlotte, Mich. In the fall of 1902 he re-entered Michigan University and the following spring received a Masters degree in German. For two years he taught Germany in a high school at St. Louis, Mo., and in 1905 he returned to Michigan University. While there he was awarded a Fh.D. degree in the spring of 1908.
In the fall of 1909 with his wife, Myrtle Elliot, a graduate of Michigan University whom he had married the year before, Professor Thurau went abroad, traveling through England, France, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany. In Berlin in 1909, she studied at University under Eric Schmidt, who was then chancellor.
In the fall of 1910 he returned to the United States and resumed his teaching. From 1910 to 1314 he was associate professor of German at Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio. In 1913 he was president of the University of Gateau at the University of Kunawa.
While preparing for college at Northwestern and also at Michigan University, Professor Thurman was interested in journalism. At Northwestern he was co-editor of a student paper with William Howard, now a well-known journalist. At Michigan University he was assistant editor of the Wrikele, the University's most prominent publication which is not only the journal of the University, he hesitated between a journalise career and a career of teaching.
During the World war, Professor Thurmuur in collaboration with others in his department issued over the Kansai region a German instruction in German for use of the S.A.T.C.
Returning Students Will Find Buildings and Grounds Improved
C. G. Byles, the general owner of buildings and grounds, underestimates the importance of his work. He seems to think that no one is interested when he paints a room or puts up a new blackboard, but this is not the case.
The new sidewalks on the campus are a shining example. Last year student spent several dimes getting shoe shined after a trip along some of the muddy paths. This year such will not be this case.
Although students may not gather in clusters at the door of the ground maintenance office and chew, they do, nowadays, and appreciate any new movement.
Several improvements have been made on the grounds and buildings during the summer. One of the most noticeable is the addition of a southwest side door of Fraser to the corner of the Commons building. Another has been laid on Mississippi street. The widened sidewalk along the west side of Fraser will also be welcome to turfing.
are east biment of Fraser, used by the home economies department, has been improved, as the building is near Hill, and the shop in the Journalism building.
It Is "Adviser to Women" Now Miss Agnes Husband was the University's last "dead of women." Upon her resignation the title was changed to "adviser to women," which title Miss Elizabeth Megan now bears.
