"'Tis I, be not afraid." "Skeeter" is a man of much note. Having ambled among the classic corridors of K. S. U. for some "moons" he has acquired a fund of knowledge upon divers subjects unusual for one of his years. He is exceedingly proud of his voice and, being scrupulously careful thereof, 'tis said that he nightly bathes his throat in a copius solution of rock candy and Sam Clay Bitters. Morpheus is one of "Skeeter's" boon companions, and he objects to all forms of hard work, believing that to be the portion of men of little minds and creatures of low degree.
-The Kentuckian, 1912
