Preface

These letters were printed in the Hutchinson Daily News during the summer of 1911. There was no ulterior motive, no lofty purpose, just the reporter’s idea of telling what he saw.

They are now put in book form without revision or editing, because the writer would probably make them worse if he tried to make them better.

W. Y. MORGAN.

To the Jayhawkers
who stay at home and take their European trips
in their minds and in the books, this
volume is respectfully dedicated
by one of the
gadders
