three former Washburn students
two of them dating back forty years
in the schools history-attended the
celebration OF the anniversary of the
founding of the college.
The luncheon was held at Keen s
Chop House, quaint old English din
ing room that las been the scene of
many famous gatherings for a century.
Unlike most such affairs, there was
no after dinner speaking. Homer A.
Dunn, president. talked informally
after the business of eating" about
early days in Kansas, his watching the
building of the Santa Fe railroad, the
story of how Valley Falls got its name.
"reminiscences of Buffalo Bill. and
TVashburn in the late seventies, when
old Rice Hall was the only building on
the campus. Mr.. Dunn is a member
of the firm of Haskins & Sells. public
accountants.
Among the most interesting of Mr..
Dunn's recollections was that Valley
Falls was first known as SaWtrell
Falls. This name, given before To-
peka was born. was soon abridged to
"SoWtau Falls Unable to stand such
an indignity, the inhabitants changed
the towns name to Grasshopper Falls.
Two years later came the great
scourge. and the name was converted
to Valley Falls because everybody
wanted to forget about the grasshop-
pers as soon as possible.
