So many of the new students have become discouraged and disheartened and left the school in the past few days that it is getting to be a serious problem. One reason for the premature withdrawel of the freshmen is the fact that being in a strange place, where it is hard to get their bearings, they are not aided in starting on their work as they should be. Coming here to marvelate they are sent helter skelter from teacher to teacher or from officer to officer, and if after a day of waiting and running around the new student succeeds in getting matters arranged he is fortunate. Waiting hours upon an adviser that at the end of that time may not treat him any too considerately is as much college education as many timid persons want. A better system for aiding new students to enter upon their work and an attempt to make the freshman think that he is welcome and wanted here would go far toward keeping the easily discouraged until they became accustomed to their new surroundings.
And now since the great era of brotherly love is about to dawn as far as the University and the Agricultural College are concerned we wonder if it would not be best to drop the annual gridiron struggle between the one time rivals and substitute a game of table ping pong or of progressive pitch? But since the game is already arranged for this year it probably might as well be played off, providing the Marquis of Queensberry's Rules on Parlor Etiquette are strictly observed.
It seems strange that the students are so slow in purchasing athletic tickets. The possession of one of the enterprise tickets will be a great saving to any normal student who takes any kind of an interest in the different student activities. The ticket idea was put into a definite plan for the sole benefit of the students, and they can not afford to let the plan prove a failure.
At the foot ball game Saturday there will be a special bleacher section for girls and a special section for boys. The plan should be a considerable aid to the cheer leader, and the rooting will be better organized than formerly.
The registration this year is not as high as it was expected
to be, but added to this students already registered are leaving for their homes.
School work is now on in full swing. And there is not a single holiday in sight until Thanksgiving either.
MUSEUM IMPROVEMENTS.
Additional Room Made For Collections On Second Floor.
Improvements are being made in the museum to provide more space for the collections on the second floor. The openings in this story have been floored with glass plates set in steel frame works. The hanging gallery is also being finished and a new entrance to it is being provided at the south-west corner.
Besides these improvements a large number of air tight steel cages for the storing of skins has been added to the equipment of the museum.
Donohue-Webb.
Announcements have been received in Lawrence of the marriage of Horton Webb and Miss Edna Donohue at Seattle, Wash. Both were formerly University students, and Mr. Webb was for several years a guide. Mr. and Mrs. Webb left for Honolulu on their honey-moon. They will be at home at Seattle.
Ralph Shuey Home Again.
Ralph C. Shuey, who is the Parke, Davis & Co. research fellow in Industrial Chemistry, returned Monday from his extended summer trip to England and on the Continent. Early in June he attended the sessions of the International Congress of Applied Chemistry in London. Mr. Shuey entered the University of Birmingham, where he carried on research work until August 1. He then crossed the English channel and made a long jaunt through Holland, Germany and Switzerland, using a bicycle for the larger part of the trip. He arrived in New York the ninth of this month.
