Kisses marked Wescoe farewell at commencement
Dr. W, Clarke Wescoe, who retires this month as the tenth chancellor of the University of Kansas, is maybe the most beloved of them all.
At least two dozen of the senior coeds in commencement exercises June 2 weren't content with the farewell congratulatory hand-shake. They paused long enough to give Dr. Wescoe a quick but sincere kiss.
The last senior woman to get her diploma, a tall nursing student, climaxed the evening to the cheers of about 1900 cap-and-gowned colleagues, by bestowing her kiss with an enthusiastic bear hug.
Many a senior, man and woman, quietly gave Dr. Wescoe that extra sign of affection by adding their left hand to the standard handclasp.
