In Alumni Exhibit Display Relics
By CHARLES PEARSON
Many relics of by-gone days will be included in the exhibit prepared by the Alumni office for the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration.
Among the more interesting of the relics found in the University vault is a schedule of final examinations, given June 18 and 19, 1867. The faculty was small—E. J. Rice, D. R. Robinson, and F. H. Snow. The courses offered would flunk many a Phi Beta Kappa of today. Some of them included: Virgil's Aeneid, Xenophon's Anabasis, Caesar, Latin, Algebra, English Grammar, Plane and Spherical Geometry, Cicero's Orations, and
Free Tuition Then
It was announced at the same time that the preparatory course would be extended to three years, and the standard of admission to that department would be arranged accordingly. The program advised that tuition was free, board reasonable, and a first class chemical and philosophical apparatus available.
Another interesting item found in the vaults was the famous telegram which caused a near riot at the University in 1880. The Chancellor, Dr. James Marvin, was sent a forged telegram telling of the death in Atchison of the Rev. F. T. Ingalls, a member of the board of regents. Chancellor Marvin called a memorial convocation and left for the funeral at Atchison.
Tongue In Cheek
Upon his return a parade was ready to meet him. Muffled drums were beaten in funeral fashion, the flag was carried at half mast, and here and there a cheer spoiled the solemn atmosphere. Some students who had participated were punished, others dismissed, but the hoax has lived in the history of the University as probably the best joke the students ever pulled on a Chancellor.
Still another bit of memorabilia is the first issue of the University newspaper. It was called the "Meteor," and was dated Nov. 29, 1867. It consisted of 45 pages, all written in beautiful, old-fashioned longhand. It called itself the "stronghold of science and art." The editors were Eunice M. Pease and Robert Burgess.
Harold Wilson, Alcester, S. D., has been appointed assistant pressman and linotype operator in the Bureau of Printing.
Wilson received his B. S. degree from South Dakota State College with a major ni printing and journalism.

Branson's Condition Reported Better; Thompson Improves
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce last night, after a meeting with J. H. Cargill of Cargill Productions, decided that the financial risk involved in underwriting the Coronado Entrada was too great to attempt, since no favorable contract with the company in charge of its production could be obtained, George Hedrick, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, said today. As a result there will be no Entrada in June.
The condition of Richard Branson, college freshman who was admitted to Watkins Memorial hospital Tuesday because of pneumonia, was reported better today.
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the health service also said that the condition of Marvin Thompson, college freshman who received severe burns last month, has improved greatly.
Activities Group Plans Publicity For Anniversary
A meeting of all members of the County Clubs and the Student Correspondents committees was held this afternoon in Frank Strong auditorium to discuss plans for the University's Diamond Jubilee celebration in June.

The Wise Old Owl's a Popular Guy These Days. What with dance tunes being written about him. Well, anyway — in an interview he had this to say — quote: "You can fool some of the people some of the time—but any fool can trade at Fritz Co. and get a good deal."
