"The Man Who Couldn't Beat God"
By Harold Gilmore Calhoun
Men You Know—and Don't
A visit to the dean and trouble are synonymous terms to most college students. If, however, they would visit him some other time than when invited by flunks, or by a distasteful rule, which the faculty has passed and for which the dean is blamed, they would find him a pleasant and delightful man, and not at all the stubborn, unreasonable creature that student tradition says a dean just has to be.
Dean Elli Tonglen of the College has always been a hard worker—he calls it "plodding," but his friends think "plugging" a more accurate term—"Plugging" means the thing that battering rams do to things that get in their way. He earned his way through college, the first two years by milking cows and grubbing stumps, and the last two by being instructor in mathematics. Although he made Phil Beta Kappa, he obviously could not have been the disagreeable type of a grind, for he also made a social fraternity. His love for the out-of-doors likewise sets him apart from the uncongenial book-worm; and since becoming a K. U. professor he has been a farmer on the side, and has made it pay, too.
A Farmer and a Scholar
This ability to be both a scholar and an agriculturist is probably the result of his early training, for that was the combination he worked first in Indiana, where he was born, and later in Reno county, Kansas. At seventen he became a printer's apprentice and in 1890 work he continued two years, when he decided to set forth to college with his very meager savings.
He came to K. U. and here it was that he received his first introduction to entrance credits and their annoyances. The school work that he had done on the side was not regarded as a sufficient foundation for college work. He was compelled, therefore, to do two years preparatory work, which ate up his printing money in spite of his doing other work on the side. However, he continued his way undismayed.
His First Case—and His Last
He was a very human chap and like most college men had his "case."
The young lady was a classmate, Lena Van Voorhis, and one of the most popular women in the University. Even then he had no rivals,—they were given no chance. Thus the spring of 1886 was of trip's importance to Olin Templin; for it brought him his A. B., his appointment as assistant professor of mathematics, and a lovely and accomplished wife.
Look at His Mouth and Chin
It seemed that when this gentleman with the compact chin and the rather close-shutting mouth was in the running for anything, others might as well seek elsewhere. In 1890, after having spent a year in Germany studying philosophy, he, with a master's degree, was chosen associate professor of philosophy
over a Harvard man who had a Ph.D. Thus continued opportunities were bound to follow, and in 1902 he was appointed as president; later was chosen dean of the College.
Dean Templin forms firm friendships but is not lavish in the bestowing of these privileges. At faculty meetings he is never insistent, but his plan is usually adopted, because it is obviously the best one. He is a man of powerful personality. Those who have had to meet his direct and kindly glance are not surprised to know that he was once an expert in hypotism. He became interested in its possibilities for the cure of evil habits, and for the awakening of backward minds.
When Dean Templin taught classes his courses were always popular, because of the pleasant banter that the monotony of the lecture hour.
That Mush and Milk Incident A favorite story among the older K. U. professors centers about a dinner served them at his country home, where he lived before his, increased duties forced him to move to the edge of town. They were invited in to believe that it was a semi-formal occasion. Everything went as they expected that it would until they were seated at the table. Here Mr. Templin made a profuse apology saying that through a mistake it was necessary that they be served just, mush and milk. The former was delicious, the latter was cold and rich, the guests enjoyed it and ate their bread when the bean brought forth an excellent curd and enjoyed hugely the gastronomical struggle that followed
Olin Templin, as dean of the College, sees more of its inner workings, and the results produced in the lives of its students than any other man in the school. From what he has seen he has concluded that:
That college is a benefit to most people, but some individuals are bett
What He Thinks About It
The social standing of an individual, while in attendance at a university or college, is an almost invariable barometer of what his standing will be in after life;
That women are not better students than men, and are not as constructive in their thinking, but have more intensive memories;
That the final goal in one's life is reached through ambition only in rare instances; usually one drifts there rather by chance, or by taking consistent advantage of opportunities that come by chance.
If you know Dean Templin, why not go some time and become acquainted with Mister Templin?

Do not allow them to be ironed with hot irons, but send them to the Lawrence Steam Laundry where they are put on forms and dried without injury and shaped like new. The pure water they are washed in here, too, does not give them that rough. fuzzy bleached appearance so common to carelessly laundried hose.
