Sir Knight George Wyatt, in addition to collecting Masonic items, also collects Kansas State University memorabilia. In the early 1900’s a “metals” program at the University cast brass items – drawer pulls, watch fobs, etc. Below are two photos of a “crossover” piece – Masonic and KSU. On the front: Manhattan, Kan. – May, 1913. Center: “Grand Commandery Welcome.” He assumes that this is from Grand Commandery held in Manhattan, Kansas in May of 1913. On the back it says “MADE BY STUDENTS K.S.A.C.” (Kansas State Agricultural College later to become Kansas State University).
