Give Dyche book
Through the generosity of a Wellington farmer and stockman, a Kansas State University graduate, a book with rich University of Kansas associations has found its way back to the University.
Frank M. Alexander has given the special collections department of the University Libraries an author's presentation copy of N. S. Goss's 1891 "History of the Birds of Kansas."
The unique feature of this copy is that it was the property of the late L. L. Dyche, famed KU professor and naturalist, whose name in his own handwriting is inscribed in the front of the volume.
Alexander received the Goss book in 1935 from an uncle, the late Joseph S. Wade, an entomologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. Wade ran across the book while browsing in a well-known
New York City book store which deals in rare books. Knowing his nephew's hobby as an amateur naturalist, Wade purchased the volume for him.
Apparently some member of the Dyche family disposed of this and other books after the professor's death in 1915.
In donating the book to the University, Alexander, who graduated from K-State in 1924, said that he had long had in mind sending the book back to where he felt it really belonged.
Argentina's 22.834-foot Mount Aconcagua is the highest point in the Western Hemisphere, says the National Geographic.
