WINTHROP MAN HIGHLY HoNoRED.
Professor Weeks Called to Responsible
Position in Kansas.

President Waters of the Kansas Ag-
ricultural College, who is one of the
most prominent men in the country,
and who was widely mentioned in con-
nection with the Secretaryship of Ag-
riculture in the Wilson Cabinet, has
just offered Prof. Chas. R. Weeks of
Winthrop College the position of Di-
rector of the Experiment Station for
Western Kansas, located at Hays,
Kansas.
This new position will furnish Pro-
fessor Weeks scope for that indie
pendent executive ability which is so
characteristic of "Old Hurry" Be
sides, the position carries IN addition to
a residence and all expenses a far
larger salary than that received at
Winthrop.
Professor Weeks friends, and that
means all who know him, will not
blame him if he accepts this post of
added responsibility and honor, but he
will be sadly missed in the College, in
the Rock Hill community, and in the
State. He has been prominently iden-
titled with everything that has go IN it,
and is now President of the South
Carolina Federation of Fairs, President
and Organizer of York County Fair
Association, Secretary and Organizer
of Rock Hill Alfalfa Growers Associa-
ton, Director in South Carolina Plant
Breeders Association, Director of Gar
den Association, and one of the most
prominent Directors in the Rock Hill
Chamber of Commerce. He has done
