Freshman Eng.—"What are those two cupolas on the Law building for?"
Senior Eng.-"That's where the hot air escapes."
Nebraska will need about an eleven of Benders next year if a heavy schedule means anything. Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Colorado and Illinois are some of the teams the Cornhuskers will face next fall.
Figures taken from the Alumni Cataiogue show that half of the girls who have been graduated from the University in the last ten years have since married. That average isn't conclusive either for there is hope left yet in that other fifty per cent.
This is too early in the season to indulge in harsh criticism of the men trying to make any of the Varsity teams. If a man makes errors, or plays in hard luck no good can come from censure. It only serves to put a damper upon the enthusiasm of the players.
At the regular KANSAN board meeting on Monday four new members were elected to the Board. They were people, who had been contributing weekly to the paper, and each had a long list of articles to his credit. This makes the complete quota of fifteen people on the board. It is intended next year to make it not only an honor to be on the KANSAN board but profitable as well.
The athletic management should be congratulated on securing a ball game with Iowa. Inasmuch as we do not seem to be able to get along with Nebraska, Iowa is our logical rival in all University contests and we should make every effort to place Iowa not only on our baseball schedule but on our football list also. The debating council has made arrangements
for annual debates with Iowa so that in one phase of college rivalry, at least, we shall meet that state at least once a year.
They are establishing traditions every day down at M. S. U. The taking of a holiday by the Engineers on March 17th has become fixed in history and on next Saturday occurs the annual "hobo convention." Three or four hundred men go out of town for several miles and then take possession of a slow freight on which they ride into town. A procession is formed through the main streets and at night the convention meets in one of the halls to elect the "Grand master hobo" and other officers for the next year.

Cornell University Medical College, NEW YORK CITY.
The course covering four years begins during the first week in October and continues until June. A preliminary training in natural science is of great advantage and continues with laboratory recitations, laboratory and clinical bedside instruction. Students are admitted to passing after passing the requisite examinations. The successful completion of the first year any College or University recognized by the Regents of the State of New York as a university will be required to satisfy the requirements for admission which have lately been raised. The majority of taking full particulars will be mailed on application. Wm. M. Polk, M. I., LL. D., Dept. Cornell University Medical College, 27th and 28th streets and First Avenue, N.Y.C.
NEWS OF OUR ALUMNI.
The first Alumni Catalogue of the University has just been published. A complete list of each class from the first one in 1873 up to 1904 has been made, giving the present address and employment of each individual. This work has been quite difficult owing to the fact that little attempt has been made to keep in touch with the Alumni, and also the fact that our graduates are over all portions of the world. This catalogue was formerly published in connection with the general catalogue at the end of each year, but as the number of graduates increased, the space required was so great that six years ago, the publication of the matter relating to the Alumni was discontinued The present work is largely Professor Engle's and too much credit cannot be given him for his time and trouble.
The summary of degrees which have been granted in the different schools is as follows; College 1193, Engineering 187, Law 727, Fine Arts 86. Pharmacy 282, Graduate School 201, Normal Department 90.
For Perfumes and Toilet Articles go to Hale's Red Cross Pharmacy 711 Mass. St.
The largest class graduating from the College was '01, which numbered 115; the largest Law class was '00 which numbered 85, and the largest class in Engineering was that of '03, which numbered 21.
It can be said that "the sun never sets" on the K. U graduate. Our Alumni are located as missionaries in Africa, as students in Europe, as teachers in the Philippines, and as Engineers in South America. If there are any in Australia, every grand division of the globe is represented.
An item of interest is the fact that the majority of the women graduates are married. Over 50 per cent of the girls who have graduated in the last ten years are married.
There are some inaccuracies in the publication that were unavoidable, and Professor Engle will be grateful for any information which will enable any correction.
