...Nelson Kirkwood died in Baltimore of apoplexy. She was the only child of a great editor and her death will have its reverberations through the middle west, the reason is simple. Her father, William Rockhill Nelson, was nearly 40 when he went out to Kansas City from Fort Wayne, Ind., that was 1880. In his new home he founded the Kansas City Star. He made it not only one of the greatest but one of the most prosperous papers in the middle West. It not only dominated Kansas City but all the surrounding country-and it made its owner...
...fellow trustees were able to name the man. They had chosen and their invitation had been accepted by one Thomas Elsa Jones, a graduate student in sociology at Columbia, a young man who expects to receive his doctorate in May. An Indianian, graduated by Earlham College (Richmond, Ind.) in 1912, Mr. Jones has studied in England and at Hartford Theological Seminary; has been a missionary to Japan, a Y. M. C. A. man in Vladivostock. On June 1 he will become president of the oldest university (1866) for Negroes in the South...
Wabash College (Crawfordsville, Ind.) points with pride to Maurice G. ("Red") Robinson. He plays football. He vaults with the pole, having bested all comers at the state track meet. He commands the Wabash basketball team, having been "almost unanimous" choice of sport-writers for All-Western forward last year. Last fortnight he trod in the footsteps of Wabash's president, Dr. G.

Fort Wayne, Ind., remembers a short, wiry, 16-year-old boy whose parents, in 1910, mortgaged their home for $1,800 that he might fly. He purchased materials, a motor, built a plane, showed his mother how to sew canvas on his wings. His first flight wiped out six months' work all but the motor. He built again, flew at exhibitions, paid off the mortgage. He learned to loop the loop before most U. S. flyers. Soon fleecy streamers of smoke were seen high over cities, spelling out trademarks for advertisers. The Fort Wayne boy had invented "sky-writing...
...like great wens on the face of nature, swoop up and over the mountains, dallying if you like on the long downward slant to peer off east to the continent's end and the long Atlantic ground swell. Last week a boy of 14, Farnan Parker of Anderson, Ind., stepped into his plane and flew from his home to Philadelphia. He took his time, stopping twice en route, arriving in 18 hours. His mother, an accomplished aviatrix, was following him by train. He was more or less waiting for her. Then Farnan proceeded to Washington and sought...
