His manuscript entitled "Karl's First View of the Volcano, 1920" was wirtten in Hilo, beginning about December 19, 1920. This manuscript described his trip to the Island of Hawaii from Honolulu and his activities at Christmas. In 1952, he became the president of Maunaolu College on Maui. This manuscript is in the Maui Museum Archives and is indexed as folder AR42. Karl was editor of the book "A History of C.

May 29, 1943. The Zanesville, Ohio Signal. College Prexy Lays Ouster To Politics. Kent, Ohio May 29 - AP Dr. Karl C. Leebrick declared today his ouster as president of the Kent State University was "political adn vicious," while Dr. O. J. Korb or Cleveland, a board member, said trustees "have been dissatisfied with Dr. Leebrick's administrative ability"

Announcement that Kent State trustees had decided against renewing Dr. Leebrick's contract was made last night. Dr. Raymond Clark, psychology professor, was named acting president effective June 15, and it was understood that E. L. Bowsher, Toledo's superintendent of schools, had been approached informally about taking the position filled since 1938 by Dr. Leebrick.

In my judgement, this action is political and vicious and definitely not for the best interests of the school, the retiring president declared. "A little action of the right kind now by interested citizens might help defeat some of the things which I believe the board has in mind for the school."

Dr. Leebrick did not elaborate, but said th and O. B. Law, business manager, had held conflicting opinions about administration of the university. One point of friction, he said, was over admission of some 500 army air forces pre-flight cadets now at Kent. "I favored taking in the cadets," Dr. Leebrick said, "and Law was opposed to it." The president declared he also had experienced embarrassment when student and faculty grievances were laid directly before the trustees, by-passing his office.

John R. Williams, Painesville superintendent of schools and the chairman of the University Board, declared the ouster was unanimous and for "the best interests" of Kent State. In addition to Williams and Dr. Korb, who is superintendent of East Cleveland schools, the trustees are Charles H. Lake, Cleveland schools superintendent; Robert Dix of Kent and Joseph B. Hannon of Akron.

Dr. Leebrick succeeded Dr. J. O. Engleman in 1938 after serving nine years as dean of Syracuse (N.Y.) Universities college of Liberal Arts. He said he would take a new post, possibly outside of Ohio.

After an extended honeymoon, Leebrick and his bride will make their residence in Berkeley.

From the Indianapolis Journal of May 23, 1861, during the formation of the 8th Regiment, comes this story: "Presentation Of Flag to Eighth Regiment Infantry". Yesterday afternoon the ladies of Terre Haute and Indianapolis united in presenting a Nation flag and a Regimental banner to Colonel Benton's Regiment--the Eighth. The ceremony took place in front of the State House, and was witnessed by a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen. The exercises were opened by a choir singing the Marsellaise, followed by the presentation of a national flag by Mrs. Frederick Baggs, in a short, neat speech on behalf of the ladies of Indianapolis, which was received in like manner by Lieutenant-Colonel Colgrove, in behalf of the regiment.
The regimental colors were presented in behalf of the ladies of Terre Haute by A.B. Crane, Esq., and received by Colonel Benton, each gentleman adding to the ceremony a few appropriate remarks. The speeches were interspersed with the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner" and with good music by the regimental band. The stand of regimental colors presented is very similar to that given to the Zouave Regiment--blue silk fringed with gold, and bearing the American coat of arms. Both banners are very pretty. The regiment, as it bore them in its march through the streets to Camp Morton, presented a fine and decidedly warlike appearance. The companies were all dressed in their newly made uniforms, looking as though they had just donned a holiday "rig" for a Fourth of July parade. The Eighth is an excellent regiment and anxious to get into active service.
The Eighth Regiment has purchased brass musical instruments and formed a band, whch made very good music yesterday on the occasion of the banner presentation.
After the members of the band have played together a while longer, they will take high rank as musicians."

From the Indianapolis Journal March 13, 1863: "A correspondent of the Eighth Indiana, writing rom Middlebrook, MO., March 8, says the regiment has been far from idle. They have made a long and weary march of 300 miles over hills and mountains, subject to every privation and under all imaginable difficultires. The regiment has met no large force of the rebels. He describes the late meetings of the 8th and 18th Indiana, and 1st Indiana Battery, inwhich they adoped a series of resolutions, and says, "It would have done you and all loyal men in the North good, and made traitors tremble in the boots,to hear the earnest and terrible "AYE" that went up from the brave boys of the old 8th as they stood gun in hand in that hollow square, ready for any service or suffering necessary to crush out rebellion, South or North".

The Indiana State Archives found no clothing book records for the 8th regiment. It's copies of the Vicksburg hospital register dates from 1864-1865, so it does not contain any information about the circumstances of Luther's death. He died on 29 Jul 1863 in Vicksburg, Warren Co, Miss.⁽⁵⁵⁴⁶⁾ Died as a soldier. See general note. He was buried in Vicksburg National Military Cemetery?. Historical Wayne County Indiana 1884 p712&735 Vol 1. Luther Leebrick served in Company C of the 8th Regiment of the Indiana Volunteer Infantry. Died as a soldier.

Military records obtained from the National Archives show he was a part of Co D, 8th Regiment, Indiana Infantry. He was enlisted on August 1, 1861 by Captain Wysong in Dublin, Indiana. He gave his birthplace as Wayne, Indiana, age as 18 years, height as 5'4", complexion as dark, eyes as grey, hair as dark and occupation as printer. His term of enlistment was 3 years.
He was assigned to a company on September 5, 1861 in Indianapolis, where his term was changed to "the war". He is listed as "present" at every company muster roll until July and August 1863. For that roll, the remark is that he deceased July 29, 1863 from disease at Vicksburg, Miss. History shows that earlier that month, General Grant led the Union troops to a pivotal victory over the Confederacy at Vicksburg. Possibly, Luther had a part in that action. There is no indication that Luther was ever a prisoner at Andersonville (Ga) as family tradition says.

"Indiana Military History Journal", Indiana Historical Society, 7(1)pp12-22 (January 1982), entitled "Diary of a Dublin Boy", edited by Miriam Z. Langsam, Carolyn Autry, Michael Jump etal. Is the diary of Samuel P. Herrington who also enlisted in Co D, 8th Indiana Infantry from the time the unit was formed until it's close. The second paragraph goes as follows: "Little has been written about the history of the 8th Indiana infantry, and few letters--none from Herrington's Company D--exits, a fact which makes Herrington's journal especially valuable as a document of social and military history. We do know that the 8th Indiana regiment organized at Indianapolis from 20 August 1861 and mustered 5 September 1864. Soldiers of the 8th served first in Major General Jochn C. Fremont's advance on Springfield, Missouri, from 22 September to 15 October 1861. They later saw action at Pea Ridge, Bentonville, Leetown, and Elkhorn Tavern, Arkansas (6-8 March 1962); at Hill's Plantation, Cache River, Round Hill, and Bayou de View, Arkansas (7 July 1862); and at Port Gibson, Thompson's Hill, Anderson's Hill and Magnolia Hills, Mississippi (1 May 1863). The 8thg participated in the unsuccessful assault on Vicksburg (19-22 May 1863) followed by the long siege that ended with the city's surrender on 4 July 1863; these soldiers fought in the siege of Jackson, Mississippi (10-16 July 1863), in the campaign in western Louisiana, operations in Teche County, Louisiana (3 October-30 November 1863), and in the capture of Ft. Esperanza, Texas (27-30 November, 1863). They were also engaged in Sheridan's campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia (7 August-28 November 1864). On 28 August 1865 the regiment was mustered out--having lost seven officers and eighty-four enlisted men in battle and five officers and 166 enlisted men to disease."

A search of the 27 volumes of "Roll of Honor: Alphabetical index to places of interment of deceased Union soldiers....Roll of Honor: Names of soldiers who died in defense of the American Union" revealed not entry for Luther Leebrick. Perhaps he is one of the many unknowns soldiers buried at Vicksburg.

The following account of Luther Leebrick's last month of life comes from the diary of Samuel P, Herrington of Co D, 8th Indiana Infantry. Samuel was the medical corpsman for the company. SUNDAY JULY 5, 1863 -- "We were all ready this morning for our tamp to Jackson and root out the Rebs that are out there and we can do it but this was the hottest day we have had and quite a number of the boys fell out of ranks. Luther Seebrick they think was Sun struck and is real sick and some others are out.....Manford Custer, Will McMahan and Seebrick can't go any farther...." MONDAY JULY 6, 1863 -- "We lay on the hill in the woods until after noon then started out on our march, went about 6 miles and campt in a field. It rained in the night very hard commenced in the evening but hard after Taps. Those three boys was sent back to the Hospital..." The unit was then involved in the assault on Jackson, and then a mission to tear up some of the railroad tracks. Later in July the unit moved back toward Vicksburg. FRIDAY JULY 22, 1863 -- "Everything is torn upside down in our tent every thing taken out of my Knapsack don't know how the balance of the Co will find things. Luther E Seebrick is sick yet but our old tent is standing just as we left it the boys here are glad to see us back..." TUESDAY JULY 26, 1863 -- "This is a nice day. We signed the Pay roll last night will draw pay in a few days. Luther Seebrick is real sick and i don't think he will live. He wants to go home but can't, too sick. I was up through the Court House to day up in the Balcony. Only one of the posts was splintered and it was almost half torn away but can be replaced and be all right again....." Orders then came down to permit three soldiers from the unit to have a 30 day leave to go back home. Samuel was one of the lucky ones. On the day of the drawing, WEDNESDAY JULY 27th Samuel writes.."Luther Seebrick is sick. I tried to take him along with us but Adams objected to it. The Dr. said he could not stand the trip but as soon as was well enough would send him home. He has been sick since the 5th of July..." THURSDAY JULY 28th -- "We have a nice camp here on the banks of the Miss River in the shade of some trees. Poor Luther. I offered to let him have my furlough but the Dr. said it would not do for him to start out. We received our Furloughs this afternoon. I have a shot gun double barrel has been a find one captured near Champions Hill it is silver plated have it all wrapped up with my Blanket unstocked..." With that, Samuel and his two lucky buddies headed back to Dublin, Ind. They arrived there on WEDNESDAY AUGUST 3rd, 1863 -- "... arrived at Dublin at 9 o'clock. There was several at the Depot we know Jack and I. Frank Leebrick was there . He went to town ahead of us and gave the names to Brother and Mother that I had arrived in the city. I had so many old friends thought I never would get home but did finally and all was well...". Parents: John Newman LEEBRICK and Rosina Matilda FRITCHIE.
