i ---- --- Volume IX. Columbia, Missouri, April 2, 1902 Number 25 UNIVERSITY NEWS, Mr. Otto A. Daudt was appointed assistant chemist at the Experiment Station. No final action was taken in regard to the matter of fellowships and scholarships. The contract for the University printing for the next year was let to E. VV. Stephens, of the Herald. At the recent meeting of the Executive Board the following appointments and contracts were disposed of: Professor Marbut was instructed to give a course in Field Geology as a part of the sum-mer school. A course in Geography was provided for during the second term of the summer school at Columbia. Mr. G. M. Tucker, now in the government service, was appointed instructor in Agronomy and Soil Physics. Mr. J. H. Ridgeway, of District of Columbia, was appointed Taxidermist. He will begin work about April i. Use of the Auditorium was given to Columbia Elks for some date early in April. They will bring Gen. Fitzhugh Lee here to lecture at that time. Dr. G. L. Swiggett, now of the University of Pennsylvania, was appointed substitute for Pro-fessor Hoffman, who will spend next year in Europe. During the absence of Professor B. F. Hoff-man next year, Professor H. B. Almstedt will have charge of the department of Germanic Languages. Louis Ingold will take Professor Defoe's place as assistant professor of Mathematics during the session of 1902-190- 3. Professor Defoe will spend the year in Europe. The resignation of Miss Ada E. Payne, head nurse at Parker Memorial Hospital, was ac-cepted. Miss Payne goes to Milwaukee to take charge of a large hospital. Two documents of historic value have re-cently been presented to the University by Mrs. J. C. Risk, of Canton, Missouri. One is a di-ploma given her husband by the University in 1855; the other is a diploma of the same date given by the Union Literary Society to Mr. Risk upon his graduation from the University. At that time it was the custom for the Literary Societies to grant diplomas to graduating mem-bers. It is the aim of the University to collect as many similar documents as possible. Thus Mrs. Risk has, through her generosity, laid the foundation of a collection which we hope will rapidly increase. The Alumni Recorder has had these diplomas framed and they can be seen in his office in the Academic Hall. Preparations are being made for rapid work on the new buildings in the near future. The old brick building on the Horticultural grounds is being torn down to make room for the new Horticultural building. The cottage is also being removed from the grounds, and the old Horticultural barn is being moved to the State farm. Ground was broken last week for the Engineering Laboratory, and work will be pushed on that building as soon as the weather is settled. Work will begin on the Medical building in a few days, and following that Reed Hall will be started. These three buildings are all in charge of the same contractor, but separate forces will be put on each one of them and work will be pushed as rapidly as possible. TO THE FACULTY. An article in the St. Louis Globe-Democr- at states that the pastors of the Columbia Protest-ant churches have presented to the Faculty a petition requesting that our present lecture sys-tem be replaced by the five day system. The argument used to back the petition is: that under the six day system the students are worn out during the week, and thus are unable to appreciate the Sunday sermons. In connection with this point I wish to say that, as a class, the students who attend church do appreciate the sermons, and those who do not would proba-bly continue their present habits after the five day system was adopted. Again, we argue that the petition should not be granted, because the present system is satis-factory to the good, honest students who attend the University to work; and so long as the present system is satisfactory to these, for whom the University was founded, it should remain unchanged. It also might be well to consider another point. The five day system has been tried and discarded as unsatisfactory in a large Univer-sity. I therefore request the Faculty to leave the six day system unchanged. A Student. Soph Medic: Dr. , What is the function of the stomach? Dr. : Well, this is a very important subject and during the short time allowed (leafing ov-er his notes) the vaso motor and vasor dilator system I think (to himself) but how do I know what I thin The bell is ringing, the class may take the next 300 pages in Vol. I of the American Text on Physiology and read from page 15 to 493 in the Journal of Physiol-ogynow in the library on the vasor motor and dilator system AT OTHER SCHOOLS. Iowa University has a training table for its track team. The Knox Student was edited by the women of the College last week. The University of Minnesota has decided to discard the honor system. Seniors at Wisconsin are to erect a drinking fountain as a class memorial. The class of 1902 at Harvard expects to col-lect $20,000 for a class memorial. The band at the University of Michigan has disbanded on account of lack of financial sup-port. The Y. M. C. A. at K. U. gave an elaborate banquet last week at which Gammun Stanley was toastmaster. Texas opens the baseball season with a series of class games. The individual work in these games seems to determine the make-u- p of the 'Varsity. The Sophomores at the University of Califor-nia are preparing to have a circus. All "eques-trians" and "charioteers" are asked to put in their bids for positions. In the triangular track meet of Notre Dame, Purdue and Indiana March 22, Notre Dame won nearly everything. The Notre Dame athletes scored more points than both the other institu-tions. K. U. had a class fight between Sophomores and Freshmen in the corridors during chapel service. The attempts of professors to quiet the disturbance was ignored by the contestants, and now the discipline committee is sitting on some of them. Debaters from Notre Dame Law school won the annual debate with Illinois College of Law, of Chicago. The question was: Resolved, "That for the general welfare of the people consolidation in production is better than com-petition." Notre Dame had the negative. Texas has recently arranged a debate with the University of Colorado for which only two men are to be chosen to represent each school, and each of these men has two speeches of seventeen minutes each and five minutes for rebuttal. This is a little out of the ordinary for college debates. Central University, of Danville, Kentucky, has recently added 75,000 to its endowment fund. Thomas H. Swope, of Kansas City, gave fosooo on condition that 25,000 more be raised bv the University. In a few days $5o,ooc was raised, which secured the Missonnans otter and added $75,o to the general endowment. Mr Swope is one of Kansas City s wealthy men. In 1S95 he gave to Kansas City 1,400 acres o land near that city, which is now known as Swope' s Park.
