Dean John E. Dyer then gave a short talk on "Reminiscences." He told of some of his experiences that he had had while he was dean of men and in closing he implied a great deal of faith in the new council to carry on its activity in a satisfactory manner.

Tornadoes Spread Havoc and Death Over Large Area
Fatalities Mount to 50 as Reports Arrive From Many Towns in District
Kansas City, Mo., May 18 -- Ripping through the peaceful little villages of Missouri, Kansas and Texas, tornes over the week-end spread destruction over a vast area, brought by hurricanes that have jory to more than three hundred.
The Kansas tornado站ame;新named the Oklahoma line, killed two at Medicine Lodge, injured several and caused a great deal of property damage. The storm went north and east from there, Inman, cased Hutchinson, Nashville and Medina fled the hard winter as they had to have reached a toll of 11 and the injuries are increasing as reports continue to come in.
The storm began late Saturday night in Kansas and spread to Missouri last night and hit in Texas early this morning. Texas suffered the worst with 23 deaths and an injury list running to one hundred or more.
Central Missouri was the next to send in reports of the storm. Striking at Eldon, peacefully nestled in the foothills of the Qaraks, the storm tore through the countryside 50 miles or more, killing 10 people. Wives were actually sent, and only reports came from Jefferson City.
It was in Nevada, Texas, with a population of 200 people, where the storm showed its fury the worst. Early early morning it hit the town, raising 40 per cent of the buildings and taking the lives of 17 people. The injured at least two dozen according to victims taken to hospitals at Dallas.
Although the death list in Texas was greater, it is believed the property damage was more in the sand than in the water to sweep a wider strip of territory.
This is the third disaster of this sort this spring as Arkansas first had two score killed in the northern part of the state and Rock Springs, secondly, had 60 people killed by a similar storm.
Paris, Texas, May 9.—Titertown, a small village near here was almost completely demolished by a tornado. Practically all of the 15 or 20 houses in town were shown away. One person was believed to be fatally injured.
Mexico, Mo., May 9.—Three persons were killed and between $30,000 and $10,000 worth of property was destroyed.
Omaka, May 9—A woman was killed at Sioux City, Iowa and property damage will be considerable as a result of a tornado, wind, rain and flooding in western Iowa and eastern Iowa. The winds bent hardest in western Nebraska, bringing a downpour of rain and a lowering of temperature. Transportation has been seriously obstructed in all areas. Communication areas are generally crippled.
From six to eight inches of snow accompanied by bitter northwest winds was reported as extending from Sidney, Neb., to Choyenne, Wyo. The temperature had dropped from 15 to 18 degrees.
Hutchinson, May 9.—Under the supervision of the local Red Cross, south central Kansas started building again in the wake of Sunday's tornado. Here in Hutchinson, construction was still underway when the debris had been cleared.
In Medicine Lodge, Kingman, Modern, and Nashville, where the tornado effected its destruction, work was begun today on new buildings to replace those demolished by the whirling "black cloud."
Most of the injured had been cared for at noon today, and were for the most part able to leave the temporary hospitals. Several persons, however, were reported in dangerous condition. The death list stood at 11 and damage at more than a million at noon today.
