Kansas Board of Regents members opposed bringing Washburn University under their authority citing budget concerns as the state funded about 23 percent of the college's budget. A $152 889 contract to Kansas University from Haskell required 15 part time instructors and staff training, with experts invited to the Haskell campus to aid students and staff.

A Lawrence Daily World note from 1910 reports Patrick Brown killed and three injured in a Union Pacific Rock Island wreck nine miles west of Kansas City. Dearing Kansas faces an epidemic of checkeritis as residents of all ages play the game day and night.
