Two newspaper articles about James Naismith

Two newspaper articles about James Naismith, the inventor of Basketball. The first, titled "High Honor Given to Kansas Educator", describes how Naismith was made a life long member of the National Intercollegiate Association, and would be on the basketball rules committee permanently. The second article, titled "Man Who Invented Cage Game Living", gives a brief summary of who Dr. Naismith was, and explains how he created the game of basketball.James A. Naismith (November 6, 1861 – November 28, 1939), known as "The Father of Basketball," was born in Almonte, Ontario. When he was nine, both of his parents died of typhoid fever and he was raised by his uncle, who later financed Naismith's way through college. He earned his theological degree from McGill University and graduated from Springfield College, then the YMCA Training School, in 1891. After graduation, he was hired as a faculty member, where he taught for five years. It is in his first year as a faculty member at Springfield College that he created the game of Basketball as an activity for an unruly class. In 1895, Naismith enrolled at the Gross Medical School in Denver and received his M.D. in 1898. In that same year, Naismith took the position of department head of physical education at the University of Kansas, where he remained until his death
