Student of 1914 to Get Degree
George P. Marsh of St. Louis, retired president of the AAA Automobile Club of Missouri, always wanted a college degree.
He left KU in 1914 just two credit hours short of that goal. But when the 50-year reunion of his class convenes June 1, Marsh will "walk down the hill" with almost 2,500 other KU students who will be graduates during the 1964 Commencement exercises.
IT HAPPENED. this way:
Earlier this year he wrote the

So Marsh will do a cap and gown and receive his sheepskin with the group that is 50 years his junior. Many of his "former" classmates will watch as he makes the long walk

In about a week everyone will start screaming about final exams.
Reminder.
Your books will start looking bigger and thicker. Your typewriter will break down and you will run out of pep pills.
Instructors will start pulling out the old clichés about how you should have studied all semester and the final will not help your grade . even if you ace it.

Everyone screams about final week . . . during final week. But why not try something new . . .
why not panic a week early. Be ahead of your friends.

Your roommate will start rubbing it in about his good grades to make you feel bad. You will.

"Only those who have had the experience of missing for a half a century can know and appreciate how much I will value this action by the University and appreciate at last the award of a degree by one's school." Marsh said in a recent letter to the University.
SEATTLE, Wash. — (UPI) — Ever since Napoleon's retreat from Moscow the theory has persisted that rapid thawing of frozen human flesh is dangerous.
Doctor Suggests Faster Thawing
to Mills, who has treated hundreds of frostbite victims in the northern state, contended at a Mountain Rescue Association convention here that the conventional method of gradually thawing might even cause more damage than the original freezing.
But an Alaska physician, Dr. William J. Mills of Anchorage, has challenged that 151-year-old idea.
DR. MILLS, WHO conducted a study program for the Office of Naval Research, says the best treatment for frostbite is to stick the "bitten" limb in warm water.
However, he warned against thawing a frozen limb if there is danger of refreezezing. This, he said, would cause even more serious injury and almost certainly would result in amputation.
During his college days, Marsh was managing editor of the University Kansan student newspaper when it became the University Daily Kansan (in 1912) and later became its editor. "Shorty," as he was nicknamed at KU, also was a member of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism society and Pi Kappa Alpha social fraternity.
He said the temperature of water used for thawing was important. If the water is too warm it can cause serious damage. About the best temperature, he explained, was 107 degrees—"comfortably warm—like a bath."
