Notes:

Mrs. Dorothea Spinney of Stratford-On-Avon, England spoke on “The Iphigenia in Tauris of Euripides.”
Senior Washington University classmates Zelda Ysobel Siegfried and Pauline Westphaelinger.
Zella Siegfried appears in the 1917 Hatchet on the women’s basketball team. She was a neighbor, living at 4211 Page Ave.
Pauline Geraldine Elizabeth Westphaelinger was born August 31, 1893, in Ridgeway, Ill and died May 25, 1978. There are several extensive Westphaelinger trees on ancestry.com
Her father Henry arrived in American in 1866 and in 1882 he married Pauline Wilhelmina Papenmeier. They had children George, Clara, Wilhelmina (Minnie), Gustav, Katherine, Pauline, Dr. Henry, Mary, Caroline and Christian. The 1900 State of Illinois Census shows he was a farmer.

Maynard was born on February 8, 1896. He lived at 1013 North 11th St. His WWI draft card shows he was working as a stenographer for a Detective Agency and had passed the exam for officer’s reserve. He was medium height and build with brown hair and dark brown eyes. In 1930 he was a sales clerk. He died in 1973 in Baltimore.
Dr. Usher's History 16 course description read:
European Expansion and Imperialism. The course will deal with the extension of the political influence of European nations in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, and with the wars and rivalries growing out of it. While the history of the earlier centuries will not be neglected, the major part of the course will be devoted to the more recent phases of the period since 1885, in particular to German colonial policy, to French rule in Africa, and the development of the British Empire. Three hours a week. Credit 6 units.
