The Seward County Community College/Area Technical School Library is proud to present the traveling exhibit, William Allen White: Sage of Emporia.
For half a century, Emporia newspaper editor William Allen White had something to say on virtually every topic that had anything to do with Kansas or the nation.
Born in Emporia in 1868, he grew up in El Dorado, attended the College of Emporia and the University of Kansas and worked on newspapers in Topeka and Kansas City before buying the Emporia Gazette in 1895.
Until his death in 1944 he wrote countless editorials as well as articles and books that earned him the title of the "Sage of Emporia."
This exhibit examines White’s life through historic photos, quotes and newspaper articles, and more tell the story of this famous Kansan.
William Allen White: Sage of Emporiawas produced by the Kansas State Historical Society and is part of the Kansas Interpretive Traveling Exhibits Service Produced by the Kansas State Historical Society.
The exhibit is open to the public for the entire month of March.
