There is hardly a youth in the grade school or college who does not at some time have a nickname attached to him, as "Skimpy" or "Fatty," or some other based on his physical disabilities. However, the style of nicknames change from time to time. Twenty-five years ago or so, those names were called generally by their initials or abbreviation of their names.
Yes, the Profs. Had Nicknames in Youth
"Uncle Jimmie" Green said he could remember when he went to the little, red schoolhouse back in Vermont, where in order to designate him from the "Jimis" or from other Green families in the community, the boys called him "Little Jim," because he was the youngest. Later the boys dropped out of high school and got to show threatening signs of resentment, and from then on he was just plain "Jim." except to his mother who always called him "James."
Chancellor Strong claimed that the boys never gave such epithets as the present ones to their fellow-students when he went to school. "They called everyone by his initials or surname. I was always known as F. Strong."
It seems as if when Professor Hopkins was a little boy, they added "ie" to abbreviations and made pet names out of them. Any way he was called "Eddie" until he went to college where
Prof. John Ise undoubtedly had the most unique name given him. When he was at college getting his A. B. degree the boys called him "Herr Docktor." From that they developed "Hair Doctor" which they called him the rest of his college life.
Not often did they give effeminate names; but Prof. S. L. Whitcomb said that one of his teachers called him "Sadie" (Maybe he liked to tense the little girl who sat in front of him). Later the boys dubbed him "Sudkle." And the boys at school called Professor Loud, "Eliza," until he went touggle where they named him "Col" because of his ability in school politica.
he became so dignified that his classmates changed it to "Father Hopkins."
Always the Irish and Scotch have the names of Pat, "Mike" or "Mac" given them. Prof. E. W. Murray has always been known as "Pat." And Murray always went as "Mack" or "Art," and still is known by those names.
However, times have changed. The more prosaic names of former years have been changed and nowadays one

High School Seniors
Here Is A Message For You!
WHY waste the summer months when you can just as easily use this time in giving you a good start on your college career?
You can graduate in June, 1921 by attending the
K. U. SUMMER SESSION
for three consecutive summers—in other words you cut your college course from four years down to three without losing a bit of the training. The Summer School offers over 200 courses, it is a convenient, time-conserving method of acquiring ten hours credit through its short ten weeks course. A six weeks course enabling you to receive six hours credit is also offered.
Men and women who will graduate from high school within the next few weeks should attend the K. U. Summer Session and thus "speed-up" their training so that it can be placed at the disposal of the government one year earlier if necessary!
