tired but he applished and tony

The faculty of Williams has been considering for a long time the advisability of granting a new degree from that college. The original idea was to give the degree of Bachelor of Letters to students substituting modern languages for Greek. This, however, was felt to be too narrow and insufficient. The faculty have, however, decided to recommend to the trustees a plan to grant the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy, which represents the preparation requisite for any of the many courses which lead to the doctorate of philosophy.—The Ariel.
The college authorities of Washburn have offered to duplicate any sum the students might raise for the building of a gymnasium. The amount given by the assistant sergeants-at-arms, when duplicated, will go a good way towards building one.

Professor Robinson has just finished revising his Latin Grammar for pharmacy and medical students. The revised "copy" has been sent to the publisher and the revised edition will probably be out June 1. The vocabulary of the grammar has been enlarged and various additions and improvements made. This is the only book of its kind in existence. Three years ago Prof. Robinson made an experiment of publishing it and its success "has far exceeded his expectations. He very frequently receives letters from various pharmacy and medical schools which desire to adopt his book. Owing to its popularity, this book is being revised after its third edition, although books are not usually revised until four or five editions have been issued.
About one year ago Prof. Newson sent the following problem to the Annals of Mathematics for solution. Prove synthetically that the eccentricity of a comic section is equal to the sine of the angle which the cutting plane makes with the base of the cone, divided by the sine of the angle which an element of the cone makes with the base. Solutions were received from G. R. Dean, W. B. Richards and H. C. Riggs. The one sent in by H. C. Riggs was chosen for publication.
Heretofore the various departments of the University have issued bulletins to the high schools of the state showing the requirements of each department for admission to the University. Prof. Templin is now preparing a bulletin giving briefly all the requirements in languages for entrance into the freshman class. The bulletin is confined to the languages as the scientific work in high schools is usually sufficiently advanced to need no direction.
Glacial Markings.
Last year Chancellor Snow and Professor Williston went to Nemaha county to examine some glacial groovings which had been noticed there. Previous to that time it was believed that no glacial markings had been discovered in Kansas. An abundance of large rocks, pebbles and drift brought to Kansas puring the glacial period had been noticed, but no groovings had been seen. A short time ago, however, a slab of a Kansas rock, two feet square, was brought to light in the museum which shows glacial markings very plainly. This slab was collected by the late Judge West a short time before his death. He had discovered it, but owing perhaps to ill health, had failed to give it proper attention. The credit of first recognizing glacia groovings in Kansas, however, undoubtedly belongs to Judge West.
Kansas Salt.
In the eight biennial report of the State Board of Agriculture, soon to be published, Professor Bailey will have an article on Salt in Kansas. Kansas is especially fortunate in having an abundance of salt beneath the surface. There is a great deposit of salt in Ellsworth and Saline counties, extending southward to the southern limit of the state, and having a breadth of two or three counties. There are numerous salt wells and springs in various parts of the state. Whenever borings are made deep enough salt water is found; and as many prospect borings have been made, we have abundant evidence of the briny nature of the deep, subterranean waters.
Rock salt is found principally in three localities—Kingman, Lyons and Kanapoils. The salt is obtained at a depth of from 700 to 1,000 feet. The greater portion of the salt made in Kanapoils, however, is by the evaporation of brines. The common method employed to procure the brines is to bore a well, save five inches in diameter, then this is tubed, and inside this tube a smaller one, say three inches in diameter, is placed. It is only necessary to force water down one tube, when it becomes saturated with salt and is forced up in the other tube. This brine is then stored in wooden tanks until evaporated.
The salt packed in bags, is made from selected brines and pulverized.
In Prof. Bailey's article, analyses are made of the brunes obtained at the various wells and the methods of manufacturing the salt at several places are described.
Edith Grubb Dead.
A telegram was received in the city Wednesday announcing that Miss Edith Grubb had died at an early hour this morning of consumption. The telegram was from Tucson, Arizona, where she had gone from Colorado, with the hope of improving her health. The remains will probably be brought here for burial, but nothing is yet definitely known about this. The news will be received with sadness by the many friends of the deceased in Lawrence and is a very sudden blow to all.
Prof. Hopkins of the University art school, is organizing sketching classes this week for out of door sketching in pencil, pen and colors. The rates are very low. Enquire at music hall.
