Former Lawrence High Teacher Donates Cancer Research Fund
The late Martha Rayhill, math-
ematics teacher in the Lawrence
high school from 1917 to 1956,
has left $51,008.56 to KU, Irvin
E. Youngberg, executive secretary
of the Endowment Association,
announced today.
The bulk of the bequest will be used to establish the "Martha Rayhill Memorial Fund in Medical Research" for cancer research at the KU Medical Center.
Included in the estate is a collection of 436 Civil War letters between Lt. Henry Clay Fike of St. Clair County, Ill.; his wife, Lucy, and other relatives and friends.
These letters, which will be housed at Watson Library, have been appraised at a value of $4.360. They are described by Dr. George L. Anderson, chairman of the history department, as "of unusual significance to persons interested in the history of the Civil War period. The KU library is fortunate in possessing this remarkable source of information."
Miss Rayhill, who was born at Warrensburg, Mo., died of cancer at 79 on April 7, 1964. She earned both a bachelor's and a master's degree from KU.
Most of her estate was in stocks and bonds. The bequest also included some miscellaneous items, such as dishes, which have been
turned over to the KU Museum of Art. These items were not valued in the appraisal of the estate.
Her will stated that the cancer research fund should be used at the discretion of the Chancellor and the Dean of the School of Medicine.
Commenting on the Fike letters, Prof. Anderson said, "More important than the commentary on military events is the information with respect to life in a small Illinois town located east of St. Louis. References to educational, religious, medical, and economic activities are frequent and sometimes in reasonably detailed form.
Q. Where can a college man get the most for his life insurance dollars?
A. From College Life Insurance Company's famous policy, THE BENEFACTOR!
"Because St. Clair County, Ill., was settled partly by slave owners from the South who brought their slaves with them and partly by Germans from Pennsylvania, it is possible to describe the conflict between those who were Unionist in sympathy and those who supported the Confederacy. Even the envelopes contain valuable information and should be retained as an integral part of the collection."
Q. How come?
A. Only college men are insured by College Life and college men are preferred risks.
the impact of the Civil War upon the social and cultural lives of individuals, of a family, and, indeed, of an entire community.
Dwight Boring* says...
"Because the letters are numbered serially on the covers and because the writers were well educated and highly literate persons, it is possible to reconstruct an almost day-by-day account of
