From the Lawrence Daily World for June 10, 1910: “Visitors and alumni have already begun to come in for commencement at the Haskell Institute which begins next Sunday. The program for the exercises shows careful attention and will no doubt make a successful closing of a successful year. It is to be hoped that the Indians will be blessed with at least a little better weather than K. U. was this week. … Wednesday forenoon, there ‘blew’ into the city of Lawrence a young man of very pleasing appearance. He walked into a newspaper office and introduced himself, giving a certain member of the local chapter of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity the ‘grip’ ostensibly indicating he was a ‘brother.’ As all visiting brothers are, the stranger was welcomed with open arms. The young man seemingly wrote checks with which to pay his expenses. When his ‘checks’ were turned in to the bank by the easy ‘brothers,’ they were found to be invalid, that is bogus. ‘Brother’ gone and money gone.”
