From the Lawrence Daily World for Jan. 24, 1909: “A Kansas University couple who eloped and escaped the wrath of the father of the bride have reached Memphis safely and have asked that their trunks be forwarded. They say they have quit school for good and the groom has a job in a bank in Memphis. … An anti-frat bill that could affect all the Greek societies at the university has been introduced in the Legislature. It is extremely radical and many say it never will get out of the House and reach the Senate. … Best grades of soft wheat brought $1.03 a bushel yesterday and the price is the highest offered in Lawrence yet this year. … A county fair is assured for this September after flooding prevented such an event last fall.”
