STATE UNIVERSITY
CAMPUS IS LIVELY

AS the season develops, the campus
Of the University of Minnesota assumes
an air of beauty and dignity. Magnif-
taage the. college buildings and attract
visitors from all over the city.
This is the time of year that the
classes and fraternities don gay hat
bands and distinctive caps, while the
coed contingent appears in the best
raiment attainable. Between classes,
the students gather on the greensward
to talk and read. Glass day is now g.
thing Of the near future and for the
time interest in studies lags.
East Side people are naturally inter
ested in the university. President
Northrop has been a resident Of the
East Side ever since his connection
with the institution and has been active
in local church and civic affairs. Other
members Of the faculty with their fam
lilies are among the most esteemed resi-
dents in the community.
. The college as seat Of learning and
as a place Of beauty attracts many
homebuilders to St. Anthony with the
result that modern residences and apart
ments have been constructed annually
in considerable numbers and the Sec
ton has advanced rapidly in wealth
and attractiveness.
The new main building and the Alice
Shevlin hall will add materially to the
dignity of the campus and will offer
greater facilities for college work and
student activities. 81. b

In the death of Henry J. Vaughan,
the park board of the city lost an engi-
neer whose services were in almost con
slant demand for the last sixteen years,
and whose ability as surveyor and
engineer was highly valued. Mr..
Vaughan was 80 years old when he
died, and it was the declining years Of
his life that were spent in Minneapolis.
However, the work he did for the park
board marks him as q man of ability in
his profession.
The boulevard system connecting
Lake of the Isles, Calhoun, Harriet, AMI
creek to Minnehaha park, and the pref
-ty stretch of parkway known as "The
Kings Highway driveways which
every owner of. an automobile, driving
horse, or bicycle lin the city knows
by heart, and which countless visitors
to the city have admired and enjoyed,
was the professional work Of the aged
and painstaking engineer.
Mr.. Vaughan prime was spent in
Illinois, of which state he was pioneer.
He was born near Palmyra. N. Y, in
1926, but soon removed with his parents
to Michigan, settling on farm near
the site Of the town Of Sylvania. He
acquired a professional education, main
ly by his own efforts, and later served
as city engineer of Toledo, Ohio
= He was married in 1854 to Miss Mari
eta Fisk of Lebanon, Ohio, and the
young couple soon thereafter moved by
stage and boat to Illinois. Mr.. Vaughan
was employed as an engineer On the
construction of what was then the Jack
sonville & Savannah railroad. and later
built: what is now the Rushville branch
of the Burlington. He was elected to
the Illinois senate in 1871. He came to
Minnea polls in 1885. . =
The funeral took place Thursday af-
ternoon at the residence, 68 Thirteenth
street S, and was conducted by the Rev.
James Cochran, with whom the family
had been associated in central Illinois
nearly fifty years ago. 5. sS.4.<
