IN RACE FOR KNOWLEDGE
Student Enrolls Who Was Wearing Lengthy Trouseres Before the University Was Founded.
No. 14, 1838 was the birthday of this newest student, William Augustine Munson, Sr., of Mound City, Kansas. A graduate of Wesleyan University in the class of 1867, he received his master of arts' degree from the same institution in 1870 and in 1882 two divinity degrees from Yale.
With the hundreds of youthful high school graduates who seek admission to the University come one applicant who had already lived through 26 years at the time the University was organized in 1864.
Mr. Munson explains his desire to continue his education in spite of his 74 years by the wish "to be busy in the very best way and to keep the mind awake and active." He will take work in the correspondence-study department of the extension division.
