 Kansas will recall that Mr. and Mrs. Savage were among the 

 first of the amateur scientists who did much to support the work 

 of Prof. F. H. Snow in building up the collections of the Univer- 

 sity, They were both among the early members of the Kansas 

 Academy of Science, Mrs. Savage being, perhaps, the only woman 

 member, and she enlivened many a banquet of the Academy with 

 her quaint and gentle rhymes. 



As her daughter was one of the very first students of the Uni- 

 versity, so Mrs. Savage continued to the last her interest in the 

 institution, attending almost every commencement for forty years. 

 The Savage home, southwest of Lawrence, was a favorite resort of 

 scientific students — Gaumer, Dyohe, Franklin, Kellogg, and many 

 others — who easily dropped into the pleasant habit of calling Mrs. 

 Savage "Aunt Mary."
