ROCKS AND FOSSILS.
Dr. S. W. Williston, Professor of geology and paleontology, has returned with his party from his fossil hunting expedition in western Kansas. He has had phenomenal success, finding for the University about 80 saurians, 35 pterodactyls, 25 turtles, 4 birds, and several rare fishes. The saurians include two of the best ever taken from Kansas. The pterodactyls include every part of the anatomy, skull, sternum, shoulder, girdle, wings, vertebra, pelvic girdle and legs. There are several species among the specimens, one of which is believed to be new to science. In addition a splendid lot of shells, baculites, barites, and selenite crystals.
Mr. E. C. Case, who proved an efficient helper in Dr. Williston's party, has returned to his home in Kansas City. Mr. Sternberg, another member of the party, remains in western Kansas to collect for a famous European paleontologist, Karl Zittel.
Judge E. P. West, of the Geological Museum, who is now collecting in Logan county, reports excellent success. He is doing especially well in rhinoceros heads, having already found six well preserved skulls. He has made so large and valuable collection that a whole car will be chartered to bring in his material. He will come in soon and assist Dr. Williston in working out some of the most valuable of the recently acquired specimens.
PREPARATORY MEDICAL COURSE.
While the University does not as yet maintain a School of Medicine, yet a thorough preparatory medical course is offered. Of this preparator course the president of Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia, writes: "A student who does faithfully the work cut out for him in your course will be admitted to our second year class". This course is intended in fact, to be equivalent to the first year of a regular three years' medical course.
Students will be admitted to this course who are graduates of recognized high schools of the state, or who pass examinations in arithmetic, history of the United States, outlines of history of algebra through progressions, plane geometry, geography (descriptive and physical) English composition, civil government and elements of physics. The work of this course consists of: First term, elementary chemistry, one half term; qualitative analysis, one half term; physiology, one half term; pharmacy and materia medica; comparative anatomy. Second term, general chemistry, one half term; physiological chemistry, one half term; urinary analysis, one half term; botany, one half term; materia medica. one half term; toxicology, one half term.
For special information encorning this course, address Chancellor F. H. Snow, Lawrence, Kansas.
The New Professors.
The resignation of Prof. James H. Canfield, regretted by all, has led to the reorganization of the work in history and political and social science. The two departments formerly known as those of American History and Civics, and History and Sociology respectively, have been combined into the one department of History and Sociology. This department is in charge of Prof. Frank Wilson Blackmar, Ph.D. To assist in the instruction in this department, the Board has elected F. H. Hodder, Ph.D., to be Associate Professor, and E. A. Adams Ph.D., to be Assistant Professor. Dr. Hodder is taken from the faculty of Cornell University. He has for the last year been pursuing historical studies in the University of Freiburg, Germany. He comes to the University of Kansas with a fine reputation for scholarship and teaching ability. Dr. Adams is a young man, a graduate of the University of Michigan and a brother of Prof. Henry C. Adams, Michigan University's Professor of Political Economy and Finance. Dr. Adams comes to the University with many good words from the strong men of eastern institutions.
Prof. Robert I. Fulton, A. M., (Ohio Wesleyan) now in charge of the School of Oratory, Kansas City, Mo., and Assistant Professor of Oratory and Elocution at Ohio Wesleyan, has been elected to be Assistant Professor of Elocution and Oratory. Mr. Fulton's work in the University during the second term of the last year displayed his abilities in his line of work.
In the School of Law Mr. William Baldwin Brownell, formerly Assistant Professor of English in the University, has been made Assistant Professor of Law. Mr. Brownell is well known to old students of the University, and is very popular among them. Since leaving the University he has devoted his time to the practice of law and returns well fitted for his new position. Hon. S. O. Thacher, Judge W. A. Benson, and Hon. S. A. Riggs have been added to the law faculty as regular lecturers. A very excellent list of special lecturers has also been made and the Law School is much strengthened in its teaching force.
Lawrence art circles as an accomplished artist. Arrangements have been made by which Mr. George E. Little of Lawrence,will give instruction in Wood Carving, Etching and Drawing. Some of Mr. Little's etchings have been given high praise by competent critics. Arrangements have also been completed for instruction in Italian to students in voice culture. The name of the instructor will not be announced until September.
In the School of Music and Art, Mr. George E. Hopkins, director of the Topeka Art School of the Kansas State Art Association, takes charge of the Art work. Prof. Hopkins studied several years abroad in the Munich Academy and under the instruction of Frank Dubeneck with whom he spent two years in Florence and Venice. He was in charge of the painting and lifef class of the Art Academy in Cincinnati for two years. Miss Laura M. O'Bryon is instructor in Drawing. Miss O'Bryon holds a certificate from the University School of Art and is well known in
The University Library.
One of the essentials of a well equipped university is a good library. The library of the University is not very large but contains a most admirable selection of books in its various departments. It is, perhaps, especially strong in the departments of history and sociology English philology and literature and the modern languages. The library contains 15,000 bound volumes and over 5,000 pamphlets. It is being cataloged according to the best modern system. The appropriations for additions to the library during the year 1891-92 is $3,500. A Harvard senior and a man of large acquaintance with college libraries in the United States is now reading in historical subjects in the University library. This gentleman was astonished and gratified to find so small a library capable of affording so excellent a selection of standard authors in his special line of study
The management of the library has the one object in view of giving it the greatest usefulness. Students are given every possible advantage to get the greatest benefit from their library work.

SCHOOL OF PHARMACY
The Strongest Pharmacal School in the West.
Our School of Pharmacy has a great advantage in being a part of a large university and having consequently at its service all the resources of its equipments in all directions. In botany, chemistry, physiology and physics,the students of the School of Pharmacy have the benefit of the instruction of the specialists in these departments in the University and use the University laboratories and collections. There are thus besides the special Pharmaceutical laboratories, two Chemical laboratories (for qualitative and quantitative analysis) Microscopical laboratories (for structural botany and pharmacognosy) and a Physical laboratory. The student of the School of Pharmacy is a member of the University. He has free access to the University library, and enjoys all those advantages which accrue from the association of a University community, which of themselves are of no inconsiderable importance.
The course of the School of Pharmacy covers two years of nine months each, as do the courses of the University of Michigan, the University of Wisconsin and other schools of the best standing in the United States. The high value of the University Schools of Pharmacy is generally recognized, and the diploma of the University of Kansas carries with it a definite standing that is of the greatest service to its possessor. Tuition in this school as in all departments is free to students resident in Kansas. The state, convinced of the necessity of sound training for those who stand in such close relation to public health, has provided and kept this schol with the single view of putting within the reach of young men and women of the state who choose to avail themselves of its advantages, the very best instruction in the theory and practice of Pharmacy. It supports the School generously from the State Treasury and looks to no pecuniary returns from the students. All that it asks of them is that they be prepared to receive the instruction which it so freely offers, and that they be earnest and diligent in their work. The State insists first and foremost that the training shall be thorough, practical and adequate; and that such training is offered is evident by a careful perusal of the just issued special catalogue of the School. This catalogue will be sent free to any one applying for the same.
Candidates for admission who are graduates of recognized high schools of the state are admitted without examination. Other candidates are admitted upon passing examinations in Arithmetic, History of the United States, Geography (descriptive and physical), English Grammar and Civil Government.
For catalogue and any information concerning the School of Phar
macy address Chancellor F. H. Snow or L. E. Sayre, Dean of the School, Lawrence, Kansas.
The "Chinch-Bug" Laboratory.
Since the close of school, work in the chinch-bug Experiment Station has gone on unceasingly and the results of this year's work so far are highly encouraging. In the absence of Chancellor Snow the work is looked after by Mr. Stevens and Mr. Kellogg with the assistance of Mr. Hickey in the field, Mr. Schraeder in the laboratory and Mr. Stotler in the office. About 2500 lots of infected bugs have been sent out so far. The reports now being daily received are, in the main, favorable and indicate the great value of the work which Chancellor Snow has undertaken. The laboratory has been visited by Prof. S. A. Forbes, State Entomologist of Illinois, and Prof. Herbert Osborne, a leading entomologist of Iowa. Prof. Forbes is carrying on laboratory experiments in the same line as the work in the Kansas laboratory and expressed himself as being greatly astonished with the extent of the practical field work already done in Kansas. Orders for a magnificent Zeiss microscope and accessories have been placed with Eimer & Amend the New York importers. Some fine American objectives are also being purchased. Since the close of school much attention has been paid in the laboratory to the making of pure cultures of the two disease causing fungi, Sporotrichum and Empusa. Many bacterial cultures and mount have bee made and comparisons with the bacteria discovered by P. of. Forbes in Illinois' chinch-bugs have been instituted.
A Gentle Hiat.
Show me the man that don't like a stylish hat, tie or glove. You can't do it. There is nothing nicer than a neat tie or a stylish looking hat. The plain back kid glove will be the proper thing this fall and winter; light and dark fancy vests are quite severe. Black socks still lead in gents' hosiery. You ask, where can we always get these stylish fads? ABE LEVY, LAWRENCE'S POPULAR Hatter and Harberdasher, carries the most complete ling of gent's outfittings in the city. Give him your trade and you will always be happy.
