ASSISTANTS: W. C. STEVENS, GEHRUDECROTTY, V. L. KELLOGG, E. P. WEST, E. D EAMRS. This department was given into the hands of Prof. Snow in 1866. Since that time the number of assistants has increased as shown above. It is the aim of this department to lead the student to habits of independent observation. Wherever possible the work in the lecture room is supply nented by work in the laboratory and in the field. According to the catalogue of 1889-40 this department has fourteen optional options. These may be grouped into a course in Zoology, a course in Botany, a course in Geology and a course in Meteorology. The course in Zoology begins with one-half term devoted to recitation and lectures on the comparative structure and the distribution and evolution of animals. This is followed by one-half term in the laboratory, where the students work in the animal cases or in the study of simple invertebrate forms, according to choice. Those who wish to go further in this line of investigation, have offered to them the following studies: Entomology, in which special attention is given to the determination of beneficial and injurious species; Human Osteology, and Comparative Osteology, consisting of animal anatomy and dissection in the laboratory of some mammalian types; Animal Histology. In this study each student is supplied with a compound microscope and is taught to demonstrate for himself the microscopic structure of animal tissues; Vertebrate Anatomy, dissection in the laboratory of various vertebrate types; Invertebrate Anatomy, dissection in the laboratory of compound microscopes; Human Physiology, recitations and lectures; Experimental Physiology in which the student verifies some of the most important physiological facts. The course in Botany is begun with one-half term devoted to the elements of botany, and the collecting, classifying and mounting of plants. Following this the following studies are offered: Systematic Botany, analysis and classification of plants and a special study of the characteristics of families and genera; Structural Botany, analysis and classification of well equipped with compound microscopes and accessories. Each student is supplied with a microscope for his own use and is given instructions in the care and adjustment of the microscope, the cutting and mounting of sections, the measurement of microscopic objects and the use of reagents. These courses consciously worked out, give the student a clear knowledge of the fundamental aspects of plant kingdom, and prepare him for further independent hybridization. The course in Meteorology consists in recitations and lectures, together with a systematic study of daily weather maps, weather instruments in use at the university. The course in Geology consists in recta tions and lectures, amply illustrated by the specimens in the geological museum. The cabinets are accessible to the students at all times. The geological collections consist of more than 50,000 specimens illustrative of the different minerals and typical fossil remains of all the geological formations. The Zoological collection embraces an excellent set of marine types, and a collection of mounted birds and mammals which are unsurpassed in workmanship and design. The Geological collection contains over 10,000 species of insects, classified and named and in perfect state of preservation. The herbarium contains over 4000 species of plants systematically arranged and easily accessible. During the past year the collection of mammals has been richly increased by a group of Rocky Mountain Goats and one of Rockey Mountain Lions. Prof. Dyche has made a careful study of these animals in their native haunts, and has mounted them in form and posture marvellously lifelike. The fossil Saurian remains cleaned and mounted this year by Judge West, are said by competent authority to be the best in the world DEPARTMENT OF GREEK PROF. WILCOX AND STERLING. All courses are accompanied by lectures on the authors and their works, or by private reading and special studies on particular topics brought out in the course of the work. All courses, too, are illustrated and enlivened by the numerous objects on exhibition in the Classical Museum. Classical Museu. The object of the Classical Museum is to illustrate and enliven the study of the Greek and Latin Classics. By the collection there exhibited the literary side of the classics is made more intelligible and effective and the instruction in philology and literature is supplemented by instruction in the art and life of the Greek and Roman people. In this way these ancient people are seen on more sides, and are brought nearer and are made more real to the students. Relief maps of Athens and Rome enable the student to tread the soil trodden by Clecero and Socrates, a model of the Acropolis with plans and restorations bring him face to face with the great temples and religious life of the Greeks, which are made clearer by casts of pediment sculptures, metopes and Parthenon, a monastery on the East Pediment. Parthenon, a monastery of Zeus at Olympia, and colored plates of different sides and architectural members of temples. The magnificent Augustus in military dress makes one feel the sovereign rule of the Romans. The beautiful Venus of Milo teaches us how pure as well as lovely was the ideal woman and goddess of the 4th century, B. C. The naturalistic tendency of ancient art is seen in the eager, weary face and elaborate anatomy of the Borghese Warrior. The story of Orpheus is explained There is also a course in Greek Archarchology and Art, open as an optional to all students of the University. This course is also extended into a comparative study, and given as an optional in the History, Art, and Literature courses, ultimately by courses in Sanskrit and Linguistics are given as introductions to comparative Philology. The study of Greek is not a luxury on classical students. It is open now to all students of the University. Classical students alone can make a thorough study of' the language and literature, giving to it two years before entering the University and four years in the University. Students devoting to its study from a half year to four years according to their wish or the opportunities of the general course they are taking. Students who take the General Language course may begin Greek in the Freshman year and continue it for two, three, or four years; or they may begin it in their Sophomore year and then continue it for four years as they wish. Students who take the General Language course and do not take Greek in the Freshman or Sophomore years, and those in the General Scientific, Latin Scientific, Modern Literature, and other English courses, may take Greek through the Junior and Senior years, or in the Junior or Senior years, getting one or two years of such training to get sufficient training to read ordinary easy Greek, and will read in class a great deal of Mythology, considerable Plato, and some Homer. In one year they will read some Mythology some Plato and learn to read the New Testament. All these students will get also an almost complete knowledge of the Greek words in our ordinary language. If they wish, take only the Greek in the English course, covering one term only. by one relief, and a Bacchic procession brought before ones eyes by another. A line of busts of Roman emperors is completed by several busts of Romon and Greek authors. A large number of colored plates show the beautiful forms and decorations of Greek vases, and others still, Roman and Greek Architectural orders. The latest excavations are also illustrated by photographs, as are also almost all important sites in Greece and Italy. A large number of illustrative books supplement the Classical Museum in Greek and Latin study. Used as Brooms upon the Diamond. The K. S. U. B.

The Indians scaled them that's all, and are now carrying the gory locks of the erstwhile champions of K. S. U., in their belts. The agony is over and the club is now no more. Its epitaph is, "tommahawked by Injuns." Mackey, the "Phenom," was in the box for the Noble Reds, and pitched a pretty game. He was hit quite freely but received fair support from the field. Smith and Davis occupied the points for K. S. U. Early in the game Davis received quite a severe injury to his arm and was compelled to quit playing. Prof. Cunnel took his place and Swank was seen running. As that boy will see Smith was too speedy for Swank to hold. The straw to which some of the B. C. brank cling is that if Davis hadn't got hurt, the boys might have won. We cant say as to that, Mackey's a queer man.

It would be of much benefit for the students it seems to us if there could be courses in the history of literature, the history of religion, the history of science, the history of art. We do not mean from a technical or professional standpoint, but merely an overview of its most important literature' the nearest approach to any thing of the kind we have, there are outlines in each national literature represented in the University, but a birds-eye view of the world's literature is lacking? In the line of art this lack is now to be supplied. The course in Greek Art here-tore conducted by Prof. Wilcox is to be extended into just what we want—a general history of art, and it will be a regular required subject in the new General Language Course. It will also be open to selection as an optional by students in other courses provided there is room Such a study as this, with the considerable investment required, in large University, cannot fall to be of great value, and to attract large numbers students. By the way, we cannot see why the new course called General Language, should not be called General Literary or merely Literary, for that seems to be the character of it—affording the broadest possible range of languages. This can be to get a fair knowledge of all five of the languages and literatures taught in the University. SCHOOL OF PHARMACY. PROF. L. E. SAYRE, DEAN. GEO T. WEIDA, ASSISTANT. The School of Pharmacy is prepared to offer better facilities for the coming year than ever before. A course in Pharmacy no longer means the mere memorizing of a series of scientific facts, but a systematic course of scientific instruction, under proper supervision, by means of lectures, recitations, and laboratory work. The School of Pharmacy has a great advantage in being an integral part of the University, as strictly university methods are applied to the teaching of pharmacy and the allied sciences. Every student of pharmacy is a member of the University, and he has the advantages which accrue from the associations of a university. The student in this school has access to five distinct and well arranged laboratories. These are: The Pharmaceutical laboratory, the two Chemical laboratories (for qualitative and quantitative analysis), Microscopic laboratory, and Physical laboratory. If the student desires, and has the time, he has the privilege of other laboratories, not mentioned, for other lines of study. For example, assaying, mineralogy, etc. He also has access to the collections in Natural History, Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Pharmacy. He has the advantage of an extensive library, such rs is not found ordinarily, and such as can be furnished only by universities having extensive facilities In all parts of our country the efforts of the scientific men are needed, and no class of men is more favorably placed than the pharmacists for securing a portion of this work, especially in the lines of analytical chemistry. In communities where the amount of analytical work is insufficient to call for the presence of a professional chemist, the trained pharmacist will find opportunities to increase hes income, his influence and his usefulness. The course in the school of pharmacy provides chemical training that will enable the student to serve the medical profession and the community in analytical work. DRUG-STORE EXPERIENCE. Drug-store experience is essential to success in the pursuit of pharmacy, and cognizance of this fact is taken in the requirements for graduation from this school. While the training obtained in the drug store can be acquired nowhere else, it is impracticable to carry on such work while the student is at college. The custom of having a business occupation while attending lectures is not only detrimental to mental culture, but is also physically overtaxing. Such work limits too greatly the time for study, and frequently prevents the student from giving a faithful and prompt attendance upon the instruction of the class-room and the laboratory. It is argued by some that the actual experience gained in a drug store is a sufficient compensation for the consequent deficiencies in college work, the unwarranted assumption being that the student receives plenty of practice and manual training by such an arrangement. The conclusion that drug-store experience and the work of the pharmaceutical laboratory of the school are similar, and that one can be substituted for the other, is an unwarranted one, for the following reasons: In the former the attention in the way of special instruction is necessarily limited to the leisure of the one in charge, whose superintendence is also demanded in other directions; while in the latter the sole aim is to impart instruction, and nothing but the work of instruction presses on those in charge. The scope of the former is limited to the peculiar situation and circumstances of that one store, and it can therefore at best give only a limited range of manual training; while the aim of the latter is to familiarize the student with all operations met with in any store, and therefore the manual training is not circumscribed by narrow limits. Mr. Weida is now pursuing his studies abroad, but a new assistant for this department will be elected by the Board of Regents very soon. There are applications on file from a number of graduates from our own and other colleges, including some for Ann Arbor, Michigan. Boys if you want any thing during vacation, write to Abe Levy and he will attend to it for you.
