From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 5, 1916:

• “Advice to aspiring writers? Give the man with the receding chin a chance. At least the teaching experience of Miss Margaret Lynn, associate professor of English at the University of Kansas, has destroyed her belief that character is indicated reliably by any such index as the chin. Miss Lynn has noticed that almost universally, writers portray the weak-willed characters in their stories as having receding chins. Similarly the hero necessarily must have a square chin. ‘One of the brightest students ever in my classes had a decidedly receding chin,’ Miss Lynn said in explaining why she had so little faith in the ‘facial map.’… Experience has also led Miss Lynn to believe that smiles are not always an indication of good nature. ‘Some girls go through life looking like angels simply because they happen to have short upper lips and can smile easily. And there is no relation between character and dimples,’ Miss Lynn said in concluding her observations to a class in short story writing, which she was advising not to spend too much time in the portrayal of physical appearance alone as an indication of character or characteristics.”
• “Octavia M. Moore filed suit yesterday in district court for divorce from her husband, Charles O. Moore. Mrs. Moore alleges that her husband has been guilty of gross neglect of duty toward her. She asks in her petition that her husband pay her alimony. Mrs. Moore also wishes that certain property in North Lawrence be declared hers.”
• “The board of education is considering the establishment of a summer school. The matter has been given much attention lately and a report of a committee was heard on the subject last night…. During the summers for the past few years private summer schools have been held. It is the desire of many of the patrons of the public schools that the board conduct a school under its auspices, rather than permit the privately managed schools.”
• “The board of education is planning to beautify the lawns of the new school buildings. The lawns will be seeded this spring with white clover and blue grass. The work will be done as soon as the weather permits.”
• “The University orchestra will appear in concert at the Fraternal Aid Union hall Thursday evening, March 9. The concert is given with the compliments of the Fraternal Aid Union and the University orchestra and there is no admission charge. This is the first of a series of musical numbers which will be presented by the Fraternal Aid Union. Later the Haskell band will give a concert.”
