From the Lawrence Daily World for Oct. 20, 1910:

“Frank Egbert Bryant, professor of English at the university, died at 8 o’clock this morning at his home, 1310 Louisiana street, following a four weeks illness with typhoid fever. Never robust in health, he made a brave but unequal fight against the insidious disease. Professor Bryant’s death is the fourth from typhoid in Lawrence within a few weeks.

“Yesterday the chances for recovery of Claude White, the young man injured in a boiler explosion near town, were very slim. Today the attending physician finds the burns less deep than he anticipated, and is more hopeful of the young man’s life.

“Party loyalty is the strongest force which causes young Republicans to follow the politics of their fathers. At least this is the principle deduced from a test put to the members of the class in American Government under Professor C. A. Dykstra at the university. Professor Dykstra handed out two questions to the class to answer. The first: What are your politics and give reasons. The second: Give three ‘planks in the platform’ of your party. The answers brought to light the fact that there were 35 Republicans, 10 Democrats and 4 Socialists.

“Joe Murray, editor of the University Kansan, sustained a painful hurt to an old injury this morning. Murray walked into a trap door, carelessly left open by a plumber, and in the fall forcibly struck his injured knee, wounded during the Philippine war.”
