WAS A CADDY TOROCKEFELLER
LOUIS KUPFER HOLDS THAT DISTINCTION.
For Two Summers the Law Student Performed Office for the Magnate and His Friends.
Among the students at the University who bears some distinction, is one who was, not so many years ago, caddy to John D. Rockefeller. The student is Louis Kupfer, a middle law, from Cleveland, Ohio. For two seasons, during the summers of 1903 and 1904, Mr. Kupfer held that position under the great oil magnate. Not only did he caddy for Mr. Rockefeller, but also performed the same office during that time for other distinguished men who came to visit the magnate and play golf with him at his beautiful home at Forest Hill.
In speaking of some of his experiences this morning relative to the position he held under Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Kupfer said, "The principal reason for my desire to caddy for Mr. Rockefeller was that he had a fine pond on his place at Forest Hill, where he allowed his caddies to swim when he did not wish to use them. After a good swim we would go to the gates which barred the entrance to the grounds surrounding the house and wait with the guards who were on duty there, until Mr. Rockefeller would send for us. When he was ready for us the guards would let us enter.
"Mr. Rockefeller was visited by many famous men of those days who played golf with him. Among them were Mark Hanna Otis, the big steel man, and Travis, the golf champion. All three used to be there often. Mr. Hanna was a jolly man and talked freely to the caddies, but Mr. Rockefeller never said much to us unless he made an exceptionally good drive and then he would look around at us with a pleased expression and say, "That was a pretty good drive, wasn't it?"
He was always afraid his wig would blow off and used to pull his cap down firmly on his head before making the drive. He always wanted his caddy to learn his style of play so that the boy could hand him the stick he wanted without being told which one would be used. Mr. Rockefeller was always a good player, but never first class.

The first street car of the Lawrence system to scale Mount Oread reached the summit at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. The line is now completed to the loop at the gymnasium. About 300 yards of track remain to be laid on the south side of the hill before the circuit will be finished.

"Why, I had no idea there was a building in that place," said one reporter, pointing to the Mining building. "What's the name of it?"

THE PUNCH VANISHED.
Freshmen Had Trouble at Pan Hellenic Party.
At 10 o'clock last night or somewhere near that time—and that matters not—nine or more lusty upper-classmen crept stealthily up the stairway of Fraternal Aid hall and a few moments later crept back down a la the same manner. But the descent was made with about twenty gallons of punch which had been prepared especially to quench the thirst of the dancers at the Freshman Pan-Hellenic party which was being held there.
In some mysterious manner the freshmen "fell" to the fact that the liquid had vanished, and forthwith one of the bravest strode across the street and returned with a policeman.
Note—(The punch was returned.)
