From the Lawrence Daily World for June 11, 1909: Twenty-five boys of the civil engineering school at the university, accompanied by Profs. B.J. Dalton and J.D. Newton, left this morning for their summer school camp north of Midland, where they will pitch tents and spend the next six weeks in practical work such as surveying, bridge building and laying out railroad routes. . . . Three new KU graduates will hold fellowships at Yale University this fall — Frank Klingberg, Ben Stelter and Charles Hoffman. It is considered quite an achievement and honor. . . . Despite all the cold, floods and late freezes, the Douglas county valuation total rose more than $150,000 the past year. The total valuation now is nearly $6.8 million. . . . The summer school at the university opened this morning and there is evidence this could be the busiest summer ever on Mount Oread. Many teachers are taking advance work while others are working on basic degrees.
