state. contributed a brass band and an
orator for the occasion. After many delays
the main university building was completed,
Lumber had to be hauled from the Missouri
river over wretched prairie roads, and all
material that entered into the construction
of the building was scarce and difficult OF
access.
While the contractors were working and
worrying over the erection of the building,
the regents were engaged in the more i'm
portant, but not the less difficult work OF
organizing the faculty and preparing tha
courses of study. On June 8, 1859.
the regents elected as chancellor
A. r. Benton, D.. D., who had up
to that time been president of the North
western Christian university. The faculty.
which was not selected until April 4. 1871.
was originally as follows: Ancient Lam
guages, A. II. Manley; mathematics. II. e.
Hitchcock: English literature, o. c. Dake;
sciences, II. w. Kuhne. Prof. Kuhne de-
clined and recommended Prof. Samuel
Aughey, who was unanimously elected.
The State university was finally, after
many vexatious delays, thrown open for the
reception of students on September 7, 1871.
The installation of Chancellor Benton had
taken place on the afternoon of the previous
day. Seventy students appeared and en-
rolled their names the first day.
The original charter of the university pro-
vided for six colleges: Literature, sciences
and arts; law; medicine; agriculture; practi-
cal sciences, and fine arts; but a provision
was made that the last named department
was not to be opened until the annual in
come of the university reached 800 900. On
February 10, 1877, an amendment to the
charter reduced the number of colleges to
five.
WHAT 1T TEACHES.
The earlier years in the history of the uni
versity were devoted to the colleges of
literature, languages and the sciences. But
as early as 1874 and 1875 petitions for the
establishment of medical and law colleges
began to pour in upon the regents. Finally,
the regents on December 81, 1881, passed a
resolution asking the legislature for an APP
preparation of $40, 900 to be devoted to the
establishment of a law department and a
medical college. The medical school was the
result Of this resolution, the legislature APP
propriating 81 900 for it's establishment. Ii
was maintained but four years, when it was
finally abandoned for lack of financial sup
port. The law college has been slowly grow
ing until 1t Is at present a creditable depart
ment of the university.
The military department was established
in 1876. 1t is made a part Of university

ORR. G.L. GAEOEKE ACCUSED.
Mrs. Kugler's Relatives Say She
Was Unduly Influenced.
The Physician Denies that He Is a
Professional Beneficiary.

The relatives of the late Mrs. Kuni-
gunda kuglei, who died April 10 last,
leaving the bulk of her small estate to
DIR. j. G. l.. Guedeke, of 800 Second ave-
nue.. have decided to contest the will
upon the ground that DR.. Gaeicke exer-
clsed an undue influence over the tesla
tor.
The contestants are Mrs. Joanna
Strong, of Milwaukee, Wis, and Mrs.
Walpurga No;ter. of III Leonard street,
Jersey City.
Testimony in the contest will probably
be heard by the Surrogate next month.
Besides the allegation of undue influence
on DR. Gaedeke's part 1t will be charged
that this is not the first instance in
which the doctor has inherited under the
VIII of patient over whom, II Is alleged,
he eXerted an extraordinary influence.
Mrs. Notter, speaking of the coming
contest. said that Mr.. kuyler, her sis
ter's husband, died Jan. I, 1893, leaving
an insurance policy for 5000 on his life
In society of which DIR. Gaedeke Is a
member.
After that Mrs. Kugler lived for time
with Mrs. Notter in Jersey City, but the
latter charges that the doctor Induced
her to return to this city to live. Mrs.
.Not'el says lllut Sne frequently wrote
to her sister after her return to this city,
but received no reply.
After Mrs. kugler died Mrs. Notter
alleges, DR.. Gaedeke produced a VIII,
which named him az executor OF the estate
and left him all the estate except be
quests of 500 each to the testatrix's two
sisters and a niece.
Mrs. Notter also alleges that after the

tor and received the bulk OF the estate
DR.. gaedeke empha tically denies the
charges of undue influence. and says
that in both cases the amounts left him
by his patients were not more than
enough to cover his fees.
He denies having induced Mrs. Kugler
to leave her relatives in Jersey City, but
contends that che left them because
they treated her badly.
He says that Mrs. Kugler's husband
was a friend of his, and that since Mr..
Kugler died he had attended her with
out charges and he thinks 1t but natural
that the money was left to him.
