Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Record of the Alumni of the Kansas State Agricultural College This Record of the Alumni of the Kansas State Agricultural College, issued at the end of the first half century of its work, is most convincing evidence of the usefulness of the institution. The most notable contribution the past half century has made to educational ideals is that of education for service. Kansas was one of the first states of the union to accept the conditions of the Morrill act, and she has done her part in making the new education. The record here presented is a brief outline of hundreds of lives that have been influenced by the College. It is a record of which the institution and the State may well be proud. In it are the stories in brief of the success of men and women who have worked to make life better and brighter. These brief notes merely suggest the work done. Many of these one-line records of "Housewife" enfold stories of a noble womanhood that has blessed a family and been an inspiration to a community. The simple record "Farmer" expands into a successful life of endeavor for better agriculture and a higher type of rural civilization. The pages tell of the success of co-education, of romance, of homes in which K. S. A. C. traditions have been a part of life; and from these homes have come sons and daughters who share the honor of being alumni. The lists of the later years bear many names familiar to students of the earlier days: Haines, Failyer, Griffing, Berry, Reed, Hopper, Knostman, Lightfoot, Willard, Calvin, Coons, Sikes, Elliott, Breese, Gale, Sanders. Unfortunately, there are presented only the records of those who "have finished the course." The College also has influenced for good thousands of men and women whose names are in the lists of former students, but who did not graduate. The alumni and students have been a force in the growth of the College, State, and Nation - a force that will grow greater as each member recognizes the possibilities of the services that he may render. A closer organization, with more local associations of alumni and former students, can give the State a more definite idea of the College needs, and can help it to accomplish the purpose for which it was created.
