Old home town – 100 years ago today
From the Lawrence Daily World for June 7, 1906: “The famous new trans-Atlantic liner, Lusitania of the Cunard line, was successfully launched today at Clyde Bank, Scotland. It is the largest ship afloat with a capacity of 32,000 tons and might be quite a sight to see. : Registration for the fourth annual summer session at the university began today with 400 students. : The directors of the university alumni association met last night and added Harry Raymond of Lawrence and H.F. Graham of Holton to the board. L.N. Flint was re-elected as secretary. Willis Gleed of Topeka was elected president and George O. Foster treasurer.”
