Excerpt from Twelfth Biennial Report: Of the Board of Directors, of the Kansas State Historical Society for the Period November 1, 1898, to November 1, 1900

To the Board of Directors of the Kansas State Historical Society:

The work of the Society during the year 1900 has been quite satisfactory. It still enjoys much of the impetus given by the labors and reputation of Franklin G.Adams. The statistics furnished from the record show the usual quantity of accessions in all lines, while the observations I have been enabled to make point to an increased interest, and great possibilities when suitable conveniences are provided for the collections of the Society.

In no branch of public administration or business association is the activity of the people and the magnitude of the state of Kansas so vividly and completely shown as in the records and operations of the State Historical Society. The scope of its organization and work is probably broader than that of any similar institution in the country. On its shelves and within its cases are embraced the results of forty-five years of world-famous political and social controversies, the thought, discussion and accomplishments of a hundred religious, fraternal, civic, reform and business associations, the industrial energy and force and the individual biography of all classes of citizens, from those of prominence to the humblest, which have constituted the warp and woof of the most conspicuous and advanced commonwealth on the globe.

The duty of such wide collection elsewhere is generally distributed through a variety of agencies, but in Kansas the functions of this Society cover all. Within these rooms the state centers; here every movement of its people, the record of the individual in politics, business, literature, or otherwise, is gathered and closes. Several local communities find here records of their own they do not possess themselves. The men who founded this Society and guided it in its earlier years may not have builded better than they knew, but they builded far greater than anybody dreamed of. The Society is not alone a gatherer of historic incidents, but its chief duty seems literally to be the extension and preservation of the lives of the women and the men who have made the state.

In a recent article Hon. E. F. Ware says: Next thing to having heroes is having historians. A hero who does not get into history is practically wasted.
