Deans and Army Reserve officers noted in Kansas history
In 1971 John P. Augelli was named dean of international programs at Kansas University, announced by Vice Chancellor Francis Heller. In 1956 three area attorneys participated in Army Reserve School training: Maj. Charles Rankin, Maj. Richard Allen, and Lt. Col. James Lester of Oskaloosa. An 1896 Lawrence Journal piece recalls freshmen class naming debates in 1900, suggesting humorous options like the class of naughty naught, as recorded by Watkins Community Museum.
