MANY COURSES ARE OFFERED
NUMBER SHOWN IN CATA LOG IS 859.
To Take All the Work Would Re quire 113 Years—Twenty-One Degrees Offered.
There is a story about a freshman who comes to enroll in the University. When the Registrar asks him, "What course do you want to take?" he answers with the query, "What courses have you got?"
That boy would be stunned and probably driven to despair of ever getting a liberal education if a complete and literally true answer were made to his question. The new catalog, which was delivered from the state printer's office last week, and which is now being sent broadcast to prospective students over the state, shows that the new student must choose from 859 courses which will be offered next year. The total number of hours' credit included in the courses in 4,002.
Suppose, as might possibly happen, a youth should come to the University fired with the noble ambition of making a regular "cleanup"—of absorbing every bit of knowledge the institution has to offer him. What would happen? Well, when that ambitious student—youth no longer—tottered out from his last final quiz, feebly erooned "Rock! Chalk!" and took a look back over the path he had traveled, he would find himself the grand old man of the Permanent Student Body, having camped in the halls on Mount Oread for 113 years and having seen no one knows how many generations of professors and Boards of Regents come and go. All this is on the position that the University authorities would not play a mean trick on our student by adding more courses after he started. As a reward for his devotion to his studies our entry in the marathon of learning would be entitled to string twenty-one different combinations of the alphabet after his name, indicating as many degrees.
Our student would spend for board during his residence at the University enough to buy the finest building on the hill, even if he lived at the cheapest K. U. boarding house. This, though, is clearly incompatible with the hypothesis that he survives until the twenty-first century George O. Foster enters the credit for the last of his 4,002 hours on the records.
Estimates of his expenses for rom rent, car fare, books and spending-money at refreshment parlors read like a University budget for the next biennium. If he lived twelve blocks from the University and walked to classes morning and afternoon he would traverse a distance of 119,000 miles, or more than four-and-a-half times the distance around the world. There, Edward Payson Weston! As to the size of hat he would wear, and how near his stack of text books would come to being as high as Mount McKinley, you who are mathematically proficient may figure out for your selves.

Valuable Book at Library.
A duel of duels was fought yesterday—that is, some time ago a challenge was accepted and yesterday it was decided. The controversy arose between the representatives of "Daddy" Haworth and Prof. R. K. Dunean—in simple terms the mining and the chemical engineers.
A very valuable book in the original text and faec simile of the manuscript of John Henry Cardinal Newman's "Dream of Gerontius" was received at the Library yesterday. As it is impossible for the library to possess such a vaule book as the original manuscript the copy was purchased. It is bound in velour and is a very handsome volume. It can be found in the English room in the basement.

The representatives of "The Hague tribunal" and the position each took, follows:
The battle began promptly at 2:30 and was fast and furious for some time. The Miners run a relay around their opponents' bases until they were exhausted, and according to the expert accountant who attempted to keep tally of the flood of runs, the final tally was 26 to 6.

Concerning the much-discussed keg—that was the disappointment of the game. No keg of nails, root beer or otherwise reposed on third base, and twenty-six times the gallant miners were forced to speed around the dusty course with never a sign of an oasis. Before the game even got under way news was received that the keg had been wrecked on the way. The contestants, however, declare that they will hold the railroad responsible, and that at some future date, not to be published, they expect to enjoy the benefits of said keg. An arbitration committed may be appointed to settle the much-discussed question of just what the keg is to contain, and how many gallons.

One of the Common Mistakes
men make about clothes is in thinking that they've got to have their clothes made to order. They don't stop to consider who's going to make the clothes, or who's going to do the measuring; they don't really know much about what sort of cloth is going to be used; they just give an order, pay a good price, and take what they get.
Our clothes, ready-made, all-wool, perfectly tailored, have got the average made-to-order clothes beaten a mile. They're better in style and better fitting than the ordinary tailor can produce; and they are just as well-fitting as any clothes you ever wore. Your tailor does some little fitting in making your clothes; we might have to do a little in fitting you here. But you'll get a correct fit and you'll get all wool fabrics, and better tailoring than you're used to, and better style.
Whenever you need Clothes you'll be serving your own interests best if you come here.

And hid them all away.

And we'll bring them back,
In time to sell that day.
