Altered Admission Requirements and Course of Study-Changes in Law School Requirements—Enrollment of the Year.
The catalogue for the year '97-08 is out. Several changes are noticeable and worthy of attention. Most important of all are the changes in requirements for admission and in the course of study. As told in the WEEKLY at the time of the change, by the end of the Sophomore year every student must have done some work in the school in at least two languages other than English, and must have done either in the preparatory schools or in the University at least one year's work in the biological sciences and one-half year's work in chemistry.
As also told in a previous issue, beginning with the fall of 1900 the right to offer three years of Latin and three years of English as the language requirements for admission will be withdrawn and in addition to the three years of Latin, either one year of English and two years of an additional foreign language will be required or else two years of English and a year of natural science in addition to physics.
CHANGE IN REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO LAW SCHOOL
Perhaps the most radical change in admission requirements is the alteration in the requirements for admission to the Law, school to take effect in 1899. Beginning with the fall of that year in place of the present common school branches now constituting the roll requirements for admission the following studies will be required:
1. Physical Geography.
2. History of United States, History of Greece and Rome, English History.
3. Algebra, through quadratic equations.
4. Geometry, Flage and Solid.
5. Physics. Carhart and Chute's Elements of Physics, or equivalent.
6. English: Grammar, Composition, and English Literature (according to two years' English High school course).
This change marks an advance in the standard of the Law school.
It might be interesting to note in connection with the requirements for admission that there has been a great increase in the number of accredited High schools
which fully prepare students for the Freshman class in the School of Arts. This year's catalogue contains a list of one hundred and nineteen such schools.
On page 111 is to be found a statement of the conditions of the Bryan prize fund, It is also to be noted that the offer of the Bartaeux English Literature has been withdrawn. At least no notice of the prize is to be found in this year's catalogue.
THE ENROLLMENT
The most interesting feature in regard to the enrollment is the greater proportional increase in the number of women as compared with the increase in the number of men There are now 409 women in the University and 653 men. In other words two-fifths of the students in the 'Varsity' are women whereas five or six years ago not a third of the students were women.
The list of students in the back shows in enrollment of 1,062 as against 1,004 ast year.
FOWLER MACAINE SHOPS.
The catalogue contains the following special announcement in regard to the new Fowler shops.
Of these 1,062, two are from Japan. Seventeen states and territories supply he remainder. Of course the greater number are from Kansas, 977 altogether from eighty-five counties.
The new Electrical Engineering shops, which will bear the name of the donor, will be modern in every respect; will contain boiler and engine rooms, arranged and adapted for complete boiler and engine tests, forge and foundry rooms, metal and wood working departments, dynamo-testing rooms, all fitted with latest types of appropriate machines, so distributed as to give the most comprehensive and exact technical instruction.
This shop building will contain, also, ample rooms for the testing of materials, and the cement and hydraulic laboratories of the department of Civil Engineering.

It is believed that this building and its equipment will be unsurpassed, in the carrying out of their purposes, by those of any technical school in the west. The building will be of stone, two stories in height, covering over 11,000 square feet of ground surface.
It is proposed to have the building ready for occupancy at the beginning of the academic year 1898-99.

TRACK MEN GET THEIR "K".
Ten Receive the Much Coveted Lista-
Captain Snack on His Team.
The following track men will be awarded "K's" on the recommendation of Captain Speak: Mosse, Molton, Catts, Petticord, Alexander, Carroll, Wilder, Sander son, Speak.
Of the work of the team Captain Speak said to a WEEKY reporter:
"I have been highly gratified by the form the team has shown. Considering that we have had no trainer but have been entirely dependent upon ourselves I think that the record the boys have made is on the whole quite wonderful. At first I had considerable trouble in getting the men to come out and train
Many that I spoke to objected on the ground that they would not be able to get a place and that the time spent in training would be as good as wasted. Some of those very men won firsts. The faithfulness of the boys as well as the success of the team has I assure you been very gratifying to me."
There is no doubt that this year's track team has been the best the 'Varsity has ever had, the only one in fact for some years. The whole school is loud in its praises of Captain Speak through whose energy and push so much has been accomplished.
News has been received of the death of Robert McMasters a former student of the University. Mr. McMasters was a member of the civil engineering force of the Mexican Central railway and died on a railroad train of that road while on his way to the hospital.

SNOW HALL.
Mr. McClung has arranged for some interesting special events for the Biological club.
Dr. Williston is to give an address some evening during the final week of school. He has not yet definitely chosen his subject but will quite likely speak on "The Purpose of Study of Natural History." A week from next Wednesday at the regular and the last meeting of the club this year, Prof. Dyche will give his much talked of lecture on "Wild Animals and Their Haunts." This lecture is to be illustrated and will be given at the usual club hour in the lecture room of Snow hall and of course everybody is invited.
The money derived from the recent sale of fossils to the National Museum of Washington has been received and the department has been busy purchasing provisions and making the necessary arrangements for fossil hunting expeditions and everything is now waiting for favorable weather to come.
The Biological club is enjoying an increasing attendance, there being about seventy-five present at last Wednesday's meeting, which was specially interesting in that for the first time a student participated in the program.—Mr. Cloyes giving a very interesting paper on the "Box Elder Bug" Leptocaris trivittattus. Dr. Williston was down for a talk on the principle of classification but was unable to be present. However upon Mr. McClung's request and without any special preparation, Mr. Dyche outlined the fundamental principal upon which classification depends and showed the difficulties in making a satisfactory classification.
Numerous requests are being received for chinch bug infection. Mr. Cole has charge of their distribution.

Senior Class Proceedings.
A meeting of the Senior class was held Monday to determine whether or not the class should hold class day exercises. The class was addressed by Professors Miller, Carruth and Adams, all of them favoring class day exercises. The class unanimously decided to hold the exercises. A committee of five consisting of Mr. J. O. Hall, chairman, Mr. P. S. Ellott and Misses Anna Abel, Ethel Hickey and Rachel Watson was appointed to consult with representatives of the faculty and prepare a program. This committee reported to the class at a meeting Wednesday noon the general outline of the program. The report was unanimously adopted. A complete program has been made out and the parts are now being assigned. The class unanimously passed a resolution requesting the faculty to appear in caps and gowns at all of the commencement exercises.
