Pharmacy, Geology and Electrical Engineering.
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
The department of geology has in progress a collection of the rocks and economic building material of the state, which will be exhibited at the Columbian exposition. At present specimens of rocks have been obtained from about fifty localities, and further collections will be made during the coming summer and autumn by Prof. Williston.
The material so far obtained i including numerous specimens of clays and cement materials, in addition to the building stones, have been chemically analyzed, and over one hundred microscopical specimens have been prepared. With the machinery that will be put up during the coming month, the various stones will be cut to a uniform size of about six inches square and smoothly polished on one side. Other blocks will be cut from each specimen for testing the strength by the new and expensive machinery, now shortly to be erected by the department of civil engineering. The collection will be accompanied by a report upon the geology, chemical and microscopical composition, and the strength of the various specimens of building material. The collection, after its return from Chicago, will be given special cases in the geological museum, where it will, undoubtedly, form a valuable reference collection for builders, architects and engineers.
SCHOOL OF PHARMACY.
In the first years of the existence of the school of pharmacy it labored under many untoward conditions and had many hard struggles to maintain its existence. It has now, however, risen above the embarrassments of poverty and has won the confidence of those who at first regarded it with cautious reserve, and its faculty has at last the satisfaction of knowing that it stands in the same category with the best pharmaceutical institutions.
The public is fast becoming aware of the fact that schools conferring degrees on short-cut courses cannot send out men of symmetrical development and systematic training. There are many branches closely allied to pharmacy which demand consideration at the hands of the pharmaceutical student. Schools situated outside of the University have great difficulty if they are at all able to provide proper instruction in these allied branches. The school of pharmacy of the University of Kansas has all the advantages which its Alliance with a true University can give it.
The requirements for admission to the school of pharmacy are not as rigid as those of the regular collegiate courses. They are, however, sufficient to insure a class of students having acquired the elements of a liberal education. The constant additions to the equipment of
the pharmacy laboratories with the new and improved methods constantly being introduced have enabled the school to make a considerable increase in the work offered and required in its two years' course. The just issued catalogue of the school of pharmacy indicates a considerable progress in all lines since the issuance of last year's catalogue. A new Materia Medica cabinet containing 500 specimens is in course of building. A room to contain the new set of balances which are soon to be purchased will be fitted up. The appropriations made by the board of regents at their last meeting have made possible the purchase of a number of high grade microscopes, besides a large amount of other new and needed apparatus. The sudents of next year will enjoy many advantages never before offered by the school.
The prospects for the attendance next year are most flattering, judging by the number of inquiries daily received concerning the work of the school.
Prof. Sayre will spend the summer in Europe learning something of the continental methods of instruction in pharmacy. The school, altogether, is in a most healthy and encouraging condition.
Information concerning the work of the school, the requirements for admission, etc., will be cheerfully given on application to the Chancellor of the University, or to the dean of the school.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. The course in electrical engineering has had nearly sixty students in the past year. This course is devised to fit young men both in theory and practice for electrical engineers. A large part of the work is machine shop practice and electrical testing.
In the shop the boys work under charge of an experienced foreman, and his assistant, and learn forge work, bench work, and machine work. The students have constructed the past year from rough castings, from the Flather company, Nashua, N. H.,a $400 screw cutting engine lathe, also a speed lathe and emery grinder, besides innumerable small tools.
The physical laboratory has some dozen rooms, equipped with about $15,000 worth of apparatus for experiments. In part of the course the student devises and constructs any electrical appliances that promises to be good, and this way the ingenuity of the student is developed.
The students have put in this year, a 500 light incandescent plant and wired one of the large buildings. The plant is to be both for lighting the buildings and for a great variety of experimental work. The students have also work in mathematics, French and German, in mechanical drawing,and in chemistry and physics.
During the past year over $3000.00 worth of apparatus has been added to the department, until

now $10000.00 worth of machinery is in the shop. Each year the regents have appropriated generally so, that the department will soon be as well equipped as any of the longer established courses in other colleges.
During the summer vacation many of the students obtain practical work in various electrical light plants, and some of the them who have gone, have already secured lucrative positions.
During the next year, the laboratory course will be strengthened by new apparatus, and new instructors. In the laboratory corps will be Mr. E. W. Shepard, of Cornell, first assistant, Mr. M. E. Rice, second assistant, Mr. Lawrence Page, third assistant, while Mr. Frank E. Ward is Supt., of the machine shops, with two assistants. During the year much original work in the telephone has been done.
Glee and Banjo Club.
The substitution of the Glee and Banjo club on the lecture course seems to have been satisfactory to nearly all the holders of tickets. The audience which greeted the club was large and enthusiastic. The boys lacked some of the dash and vigor which was characteristic of their concert on the tour but this may be laid to the fact that they had spent the day in working their pole tax. The program was well selected. The banjo club alternating with the glee club members made a pleasing variety. Dan Crew as a solist maintained the popularity which he has justly won before Lawrence audiences. His improvised verses containing local bits were a feature of the program.
The banjo club is the best club of the kind in the state and it will compare favorably with any college club. Its members were of a high order especially the banjo trio and the mandolin reverse.
The Glee Club lacks solo voices. The choruses, however, were well rendered. "Estudiantine" with the modifications necessary to adopt it to our own University is a selection that can hardly be surpassed as a college song and it was given with true college spirit.
The Glee and Banjo Club will be a feature of our college year hereafter. The club contains some ex
cellent material. With the training which it will receive and the addition of new voices next year it will be able to do much towards increasing the popularity of K.U. The annual tour this year was the result of the energy of the individual members of the club. Next year it should be made in the interests of some University institution as the pipe organ fund, and it should have the support of the school.
University of Kansas' Exhibit at the World's Fair-Prof. Dyche and His Museum.
Just now Professor Dyche is the busiest man in the University. He and five assistants are hard at work making great preparations for his exhibit of North American animals at the World's Fair. At least 100 animals are to be mounted and ready for exhibition by the first of December when the Professor expects to leave. Two-thirds of the work is already completed and the remainder is "coming fast; with head up; and tail arising."
The groups even now, as they appear in the large bare room of Snow hall, are fine beyond description. Among the latest animals mounted are several caribou, two or three moose calves, and a magnificent old buck elk, who surpasses them all in his beauty and grandeur.
The exhibit will include a fine group of nine moose, the old buck standing over seven feet high; ten Rocky Mountain sheep; seven Rocky Mountain goats; eight elks, seven antelopes, five caribon, five buffalo, twelve deer, including mule white tailed, Virginia and others; eight wolves, timber and coyote; five mountain lions, six bears, twelve foxes, including a beautiful silver grey; besides a large number of lynx, wildcats and other small animals.
Commanche, the only surviving war horse of the Custer massacre, is being mounted and will be on exhibition.
At Chicago, the entire northwest wing of the Kansas building will be occupied by the exhibit of North American mammals of the University of Kansas. This wing is 88 by 60 feet on the ground floor, is 30 feet in height and has no windows,the light being admitted from the roof which is entirely of glass. The floor space is to be built up so as to represent a natural landscape, with rocks, grass willows, quaking asp and natural fir and evergreen trees. On either side will be built a tall cliff and in between,a valley with a running stream of water, a lake and a swamp. The moose will be seen in natural positions in the cranberry and tamarack swamps,the goats and the sheep on the rocky cliffs and the buffalo on the level prairie.
The exhibit will be a big feature of the fair and an especially fine advertisement for the University of Kansas. All friends of the University and indeed, of Kansas, may well be proud of this exhibit and of Prof. Dyche, to whose energy it is due.
