From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Sept. 30, 1911:

“George O. Foster, registrar at the University, will have served that institution for twenty years Monday morning. Rather a long term of service that, and one that has meant years of faithful service to the University. George O. Foster is known to every student at the University. He is the man that the students first meet when the apply for entrance at the University. No other person at the University occupies a position, unless it is the Chancellor, that requires as much patience and tact. When he first was registrar, it can be seen that the enrollment then was far different from what it is now. Twenty years ago there were three buildings at the University besides North College, and the school was really struggling for existence. There was no great rush of registration, no clamoring for places in the line then.”

It is a beauty and cost something over a hundred dollars.”… “Just received by express, today at noon — tan high cut button shoes for Misses and Growing Girls. At Starkweather’s.”
