"L. L. Dyche came to the University and pitched his tent, with the true spirit of a pioneer, on the spot which he named for him. He gave both of his money and energy to make this University one of the great educational institutions of the state. He was the master of service to the alma mater."

Duties Include Collection And Keeping of Much Research Material

Manchester, director of libraries at the University of Kansas, in an address broadcast by the University F., the Kansas City Star, last night.
