Selections from Luther.
A book upon which Professor Carruth has been working during his spare moments for the last two years-extracts from the writings of Martin Luther, a German text for use in colleges-is now nearing completion and will be published before long by Ginn & Co. The labor of selecting and editing these extracts has been quite difficult, but recently Professor Knaake has lightened it very considerably by sending copies of desired passages in editions of Luther not to be had outside of Germany Indeed, the help received has been so great, says Professor Carruth, as to almost constitute a joint editorship, and it was as unexpected as it was great, for Professor Knaake must already be very busy with his work as editor-in-chief of the new Weimar edition of Luther's works. The Weimar edition is to fill fifty large volumes, of which some twelve or fifteen are now out.
While Mr. Engle was unwell this week his classes were taught by Professor Carruth, who entrusted some of his own classes to Misses Henrichs and Parrott.
University Extension
The extension work of Kansas University has begun earlier this year than ever before, but still the excellent courses of extension lectures offered by our professors should be more generally utilized by Kansas communities.
At present only three courses are being given; two on Evolution, by Chancellor Snow, at Leavenworth, and at Kansas City. Kansas; and one before the Lawrence extension society, on Modern German Literature, by Professor Carruth.
Paola people have arranged for a course of lectures by Professor Dunlap, who is also wanted at Wamego, where a course will probably be arranged soon. Professor Hopkins will probably begin a course of lectures at Fort Scott, before long, if present negotiations do not fail of their purpose. The value to the University of extension lectures at these places will be especially great.
Economic Seminary.
The Economic Seminary met at the usual time and place last Monday evening and listened to reports of members upon economic writings in the periodicals. J.H. Engle
