Men You Know—and Don't
"I am a very peaceful man, Mr. Kansan Reporter, and I have never had any quarrels with the Chancellor or the deans. Why you want to start a fuss for me now I can't understand." And Prof. Erasmus Haworth of geology fame chuckled one of those big, wholehearted chuckles you get to tell him good points the deans will be so jealous of me that they will begin to pick on me right away." But we think that Daddy Haworth would make very good "pickings," so here goes.
Came To Kansas In 1866 "Who's His" says that the nearer Haworth was born in April 17, 1855, but Professor Haworth does not say anything about this. He begins by telling that his father brought him to Kansas in the fall of 1866, and that he lived on a farm in Southwestern Kansas until 76. At that time he came to the University, graduating in 81. Then he went away for eleven years. During two years of the war he was attending Umi Unitarian church he received his degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1888. The next year he married Miss Ida E. Huntsman of Oskaloosa, Iowa.
"How I ever came to get married has always been a marvel to me," she said. "I don't know if I should go back."
"Do you mean you were so hard to please, or were you just roped into it before you were aware?" asked the reporter.
"Oh, heavens no, nothing like that," said Professor Haworth innocently, "I only meant that I can't understand how any one ever came to take me."
State Geologist For 20 Years
In 1892 he returned to Kansas and became a mineralogist in '94 he organized the Kansas State Geology Survey, and became state geologist. Besides all this he has found time to do professional work for the Union Pacific in Kansas and Wyoming, and for private companies in Arkansas and Oklahoma, besides writing numerous books and reports.
Picks Prettiest Site On Campus
Of course K. U., had to build a building for him, a mere recitation room and desk, but he big to hold such a combination of size and good humor. The board of regents allowed him to pick out his own building site, and he selected a spot overlooking the north and south. It is the prettiest on the campus" says Daddy Haworth.
"Of all the things I have done, though," he continued, "there is one of which I am most proud. That is the finding of the water at Newton. It is mighty fine water; the people are proud of it, too."
"I'm burning up with love for you,"
"Would you like to talk about it?"
Miss Eleanor M. Albridge, a student at the St. Lawrence University, at Canton, N. Y., gives a woman's opinion regarding co-education, gained from her experience at the above institution, where the idea of co-ordinate work has been discarded and when students are assigned alike, no discrimination being made in the matter of education. She saves:
First, then, co-education teaches girls not to flirt. When a girl attends classes with a young man, when she works with him and plays with him, she learns to see him as he really is, and laughs at him. The teacher was created for woman to attract and hold. No, I am not a suffragist, but I do think a co-educational college is an excellent place for a sentimental high school girl to go to recover her seran feelings; neither am I a prude, I hope that she will be a good teacher." I think that a co-educational college girl learns to appreciate the right side of a man, the serious side with the gay. It is hard for a girl really to know a man she has only met at dances, but let her meet him in the movies. He looks right and she knows her hat is on crooked; let them strive together toward a common goal of "education" in its truest, finest ideal companionship, and you will have an ideal companionship, a comrade spirit similar to that of a mature friend, who only a mature friendship, a reliable one and a purer, truer attitude toward this poor abused old world.

"I wish to goodness that that Chinese woman would hurry up and enroll so people would quit asking me to learn how to write. I've been called to the telephone and asked about her today," said Registrar Geo O. Foster as he hurried out the office door to hear the reading of a poem by Carol Monday afternoon in chapel.
MAYHAP SHE'S ENROLLED

It had been rumored that a certain Mrs. Jane Awyang, a native Chinese, was here to enroll in the University; consequently Mr. Foster was interviewed several times by the different newspaper reporters.
CONVICT DESIRES BOOKS
Former Kansan Imprisoned in California Wants Assistance
H. Austin, convict number 27378, in the California State penitentiary at San Quentin has written the Extension Division of the University asking him to make a dictionary and is willing to make use of a thumb worn text. A history of Kansas is also desired by Austin who is a native of the Jayawaker state and a descendant of one of his ancestors, Dr. Ellis. Misfortune overtook Austin, however, and as a result of his resort to criminal methods to obtain a living he is now serving a sentence of six and a half years. His letter follows:
Extension Division State University
Dec. 8,1915.
Lawrence, Kansas.
No doubt you will be surprised to receive this letter and while it does require considerable nerve, I hope you understand the matter as I do. First I am a prisoner here doing six and a half years' time and am trying to make use of the information I have in a position that will enable me to make an honest living upon my release.
In November, 1912, I lost the use of my right arm, through an accidental gun shot at Wamututter, Wyoming and it cost me everything I had for medical treatment. I went to Kansas City, Mo., and had an operation, but it did not restore the use of my hand, and having no one upon my side to assist in the recovery, the result is my living here. However, I am not ticking, neither am I sore at society but am simply trying to make the best of my misfortune. I have secured a complete course in salesmanship and am trying to master it as I expect to take up that line upon my relations with a lawyer, dictionary and thought perhaps you might have one that is not being used by you anymore that you would send me. The University of California has sent a number of them to the boys here but their supply has given out.
GRANDFATHER WELL KNOWN KANSAN
The reason that I write to you is that because I was born and lived most of my life in Kansas. My grandfather was a member of the first legion of war veterans I think at one time was State Superintendent of Schools. Abraham Ellis was his name. His photograph and an account of his life will be found in the Kansas State History, which by the way is another book that I would like very much to own but can get
Trusting that you will be able to help me out in this matter, I am.
