But he saw neither clue nor evidence for the disturbance.

Delegates at Chicago Think Students Should Pay Cost of Education
New Method in College Finance Would Eliminate Need for Endowments
New York, Feb. 9—Let students pay the entire cost of education. Here is a means of eliminating the necessity for perpetual begging for million dollar endowments and the attendant evils. So at least thought some of his duties to a recent Association of American Colleges meeting at Chicago.
Scholarship loans and student aids of all kinds should be enabled to enable students to meet this additional charge. Money now used for endowments, Mr. Arnett suggested, could be diverted into these channels.
Instead of paying only 31 per cent of educational cost, as they now do, college students should foot the entire educational bill, argued Trever Arnett, authority on college finances, and T. D. Winn, associate tutor. He recommended that tuition fees be raised gradually to cover the entire cost of college courses.
While discussion goes on, one college has greatly begun to experiment with this new idea. The fortheumping catalog of Alfred University, New York, carries the announcement that tuition fees will be gradually increased to meet the cost of education. To meet this goal, Foundation promises to loan money to students unable to furnish cash.
This is not the first attempt of the Harmon Foundation to loan money to students. In 1922 groups of students in 60 colleges have been borrowing from this course. The money is bounced for a period of five years, but by the end of 840 per month. So far the plan has been quite successful; out of 357 founders only two have failed altogether in their payments.
The tuition will increase gradually during the next three years, from the present amount of $150 per year to $300. Eventually, Alfred University announces, this move will free high school students the "stigma of elec-
mocnemism."
Recently the loss of a set of maps from the little Theater in Green hall was discovered. This set is composed of 12 maps of Europe used by classes at the University, and they hang over an iron frame supported by a heavy iron tripod. According to Professor Patterson of the history department, the loss is thought to be occasioned by students or professors of another department borrowing the
Students will, of course, not be expected to pay at onetime the entire fee. Except in rare cases only $150 or possibly $100, will be asked for in cash payment. The deferred obligation will be turned over to the Harmon Foundation for collection within the next five years. In return, the bank will furnish the University with cash for current operating expenses.
Loss of History Maps Reported by Patterson
Dr. J. C. Jones, who recently resigned as director of the Memorial Union and Stadium Campaign at the University of Missouri, during his three years of service succeeded in securing pledges to the extent of $1 million in charity of three thousands and personal letters addressed to M. U. alumnae.

Dove Will Resume Publication After Semester's Rest
General Intellectual Inertia on Campus Cause of Liberal Paper's Silence
The Dove will eoo Friday.
After a semester of idle perching on its root the pink-hued "messenger of peace" will withdraw its head from beneath its wings and dip its beak into water.
The Dove is resuming publication this semester with several new members on the editorial board, and with Mr. McGann as the co-chairman. According to one of the staff members, the reason for the semester's silence is the general intellectual inertia on the campus, and the need for liberalism have graduated.
Topics discussed later...
"The Uphillers Discuss Sex," "What I Learned," "Should Fraternity Houses Be Taxed," "How They Get That Way," and "The Great God Mencken," are titles of a few of the leading articles in the forthcoming issue. Other topics of general interest to students are discussed from a liberal point of view, while others are "21," one of the editors, this morning.
The Dove began publication in the spring of 1925, and has proved popular in the field of liberal thought, Gregory said. The Dove has been given recognition by many magazine and newspaper editors of the country and prominent educators have encouraged it.
Dove a "Tirifle Unorthodox"
"Of course," added the editor, "The Dove has not been popular among a majority of the students in the university because of its tendency to be pink in one sense as well in color. Behind it is a trifle unorthodox, and not strictly in harmony with the status quo, it cannot but have many enemies as well as a few stunch friends."
The editors of The Dove announce that they are eager to have contributions from students and faculty members. It is the intention of the paper to have a wide variety of articles for future issues. The Dove will be published about three times during the semester.
