About Snow Hall.
There are some parts of the University where the work never stops for vacation—the laboratories and workshops of Snow Hall contain workers the year round. Several professors and students are to be found here this summer hard at work.
is in charge of the chinch bug laboratories this summer. The demand for bugs is greater than ever b fore, and about 75 per cent of the experiments are reported successful. Infected bugs are sent to all who ask for them. The laboratories of the chinch bug station have been recently furnished with some of the finest apparatus to be had for work in bacteriology. Among this is photographic apparatus and microscopes from Zeiss, in Jena, Germany.
PROF. DYCHE.
He, of the moose, buffalo and snake stories, is busy superintending the work on his exhibit for the World's Fair. A lot of twenty-five animals has just been finished, making about sixty-five now ready. The exhibit will contain about 100 animals, and will be taken to Chicago in December, giving ample time for putting it up before the fair opens. The professor will not have time to make his usual fall expedition to the northwest this year.
PROF. WILLISTON
has traveled over a large part of Kansas this summer making collections of the building stones of the state. He has visited about twenty-five quarries and has as many more yet to examine. The professor desires to obtain specimens of all the building stone in the state, and would be glad for any one having building stone to communicate with him. The only evidence of glacial grooving in the state is to be seen near Seneca. Good specimens of this grooving or scratching have been obtained by the professor. He is also publishing a geological map of the state, and the only effect this amount of work and the hot weather have had on the professor has been the removal of his beard.
The usual summer repairing and cleaning is being done at the University buildings. The rooms have been plastered where needed, and the whole of the main building is to be calsomined. Superintendent of buildings and grounds, Tom Breese has his force busy keeping the grounds in order and putting every thing in shape for the next school year. The heating pipes have been enlarged to double their former capacity. Tom will have everything nice and smiling to welcome the students back.

The Athletic Field.
W. P. Harrington is business manager of the Kansas Democrat, the leading democratic paper in northeastern Kansas, published at Hiawatha. This paper was recently purchased by G. W. and W.P. Harrington. Those who knew the Harrington brothers in the University need not be told that the Democrat will flourish. Both these men received their newspaper training on the University papers.
J. G. Wine, '92, stands a good show of getting the nomination on the people's party ticket for county sunnintendent in Dickinson county. Mr. Wine is one of the best students in the University and will be missed by the class of '93 if he does not return. The Courier wishes him success and congratulates the people's party of Dickinson county on having such an able man to nominate.
The grading has been finished on the field, and by September it will be leveled and rolled as smooth as a floor. A grand stand to seat 1,000 people is well under way, the frame work being now up and the carpenters working every day; this is in the northwest corner and will be painted crimson. A board fence is being built around the graded part of the grounds. At the northeast corner will be the entrance, ticket office and dressing rooms. Hitching racks will be put up inside the fence, a good walk made from the street to the gate, and, in fact, everything pertaining to a first-class athletic field will be in shape when the University opens. Clerk Robert K. Moody is giving much attention to the work on the grounds. He and Prof. Marvin deserve the hearty thanks of the athletic board for their uniting efforts to get the grounds in shape for use.
Bryce Crawford makes frequent visits to Lawrence this summer, much to the edification of the college loafers.
