William A. White Writes Biography of K.U.Alumnus
Graduate of Class of 78
Held Important Posts
in Career as
Chemist
A University of Kansas alumnus who has gone far both in the field of chemistry, and in understanding of human nature, is the subject of an article by William Allen White. The paper, written for industrial and Engineering Chemistry, publication of the American Chemical Society.
The man is Edward Carlyle Franklin Sr., BS, MSc. His life is sketched by Mr. Wren, a sophomore in the University to the present time his accomplishments in college and his career upon, but more particularly the human side of the man is brought out into a different light.
Was Philosopher and Guide
Mr. White emphasizes the leadership and sympathy of Mr. Franklin during his college days, and in later life, as one of his outstanding charisma, he also impressively, how Franklin, as an older man in his fraternity, Phi Kappa Delta, was a goodeeper and guide to the freshmen, and how what they considered to be his authority by virtue of maturity reflected the weight of the main personality.
"The key to his heart is simplicity," the article goes on, "The key to his mind is direction. I cannot remit responsibility for my authority; that is to say, when he was not respected, considered, tolered by those whose lives he lived in, he would have been without bluster, and it came because he knew, and we know he knew, when he spoke on any subject. His scholarly grief, never a trip—always prefaced that he knew less than he did was ever depressing his own孝堂."
Studied at Berlin
Franklin has risen to distinguish heights in his science. He has been a professor in Leiden Standard University, chief of the division of chemical health services, member of the United States assay commission, number of the advisory board of the United States Bureau of Mines, physical scientist at the National Institute of Standards, consulting chemist of the Ordinance Baron, fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, president of the American Chemical Society, and a member of Winston Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Franklin took his master's degree at Kansas, went to Berlin for a couple of years, and received his doctor's degree from Yale University. He became a failure, serving as an assistant in chemistry, professor at the university, and principal chemist from 1890 to 1903.
Yet with all his achievements in science, Mr. White holds that the humanity of the man is by far his greatest accomplishment.

Worms Detect Colors Though Unable to See
Baltimore City, Nov. 8. Though you can see, earthworms can still detect light, and can distinguish between colors. They do not seem to mind red light particularly, but it may be that light like a sense of fire to them.
In the next issue of Science, Prof. G., H. Bittall of Baker University describes a test which he made on the color敏感ness of worms;
"For the experiment I used a box about 2½ feet long, 2 feet wide and 18 inches high. This I thoroughly tested on my car with a mantele and a reflector. The light was passed through a carbon-diaphane prism and fell on a white paper in the bottom of the box. When the light stopped falling, dropped angled worms. As they moved to get away from the light they always went out the red end. They would back from the blue as if it hurt them and turn toward the
