NEBRASKA WON SATURDAY'S MEET
CORNHUSKERS GOT BIG END OF SCORE.
Accidents in Hurdles Marred Chance of Winning—Nebraska's Captain Fast.
An accident that rarely happens to good athletes took the victory from the grasp of the Jayhawkers in the annual dual meet with Nebraska last Saturday at Lincoln by a score of 61 to 48. Both of the Woodbury brothers fell in the 220 yard hurdle race and Tod Woodbury failed to win the second place in the high jump. These points would have given the meet to Kansas despite the fact that Nebraska took the relay in the last stretch of the race.
The Nebraska men proved themselves stronger in the short dashes while Hamilton's men won the places in the long runs. The score was even when the call for the low hurdles was made and either team had an excellent chance to win the meet. H. Woodbury was set back a yard for "jumping" the gun. Opinion varies as to whether Woodbury jumped the gun or not, but even assuming that he did, the referee had no right according to the rules of the track and field meets to set any one of the men back of the starting line after the gun was fired for the start. The men should have all started equally again.
The yard difference in the stride of H. Woodbury was sufficient to cause him to miss the second hurdle and his fall to the ground put him entirely out of the race.
Although Kansas was defeated in the final race of the meet the result of the relay was closer than any other mile relay race that the University team has ever run, His team mates were able to give Black a lead of ten yards over the fast quarter miler of Nebraska, Reed, and at the finish only one foot won the event for the Cornhusker team. Black was passed several yards before the finish line but electrified the crowd by starting in after his opponent and for the last twenty feet of the race, the two men ran neck and neck Black giving out on the last two or three strides.

Half mile run—Anderson, Nebraska,

second. Time, 2:02 3-5.

ADVANCES IN CHEMISTRY
Next Improvement May be Artificial Camphor.
Walter Eastman, a junior in the College and Ellwood D. Rood, a laboratory assistant in Food Analysis, spoke before the Chemical club at its last meeting in the Chemistry building.
On the subject, "Some Recent Advances in Chemistry," Mr. Eastman told of the making of artificial compounds, as indigo, and also reviewed the work of the great German chemist, Fischer.
"Germany," according to the speaker, "has the most noted experimenters in organic chemistry. In the last few years the making of indigo by artificial methods has become extensive in that country. A large corporation controls the output and is rapidly causing the culture of the natural product to cease, so that only one sixth of the amount of the natural indigo formerly produced is raised. This same corporation is trying to make artificial camphor and if successful might possibly also drive that industry out of existence."
Mr. Rood spoke on "Kansas and its Food Laws." "Kansas," he said, "passed their first pure food law in 1901, six years ahead of the United States government first law. There was no means of enforcing the act as no arrangements had been made for the analyzing of the confiscated food. In 1905, the law was changed so that the University and the Agricultural College could analyze the samples. The penalty for retailers was fixed at fifty dollars or one year imprisonment or both. For wholesalers, who violate the law the fine is three hundred dollars or a year in prison."
Miss Agnes Anderson, a fellow in Chemistry will speak at the next meeting. Her subject will be, "The Compressed Yeast Controversy."

In place of the final examinations, the senate provides that each instructor may give such tests as he may see fit after consultation with the head of his department. These tests are to occupy only the regular hour allotted to the class, examination weeks being made a thing of the past.
Final examinations at Nebraska University were abolished by vote of the university senate Saturday morning. The senate, comprising all full professors of the faculty, has full authority in the matter, and beginning with September, 1911, "finals" will be a thing of the past.
In taking this radical action, the professors deemed it advisable in order to insure a better standard of regular class work, less "cramming" at the end of the semester, and a system of grading which would show more accurately the actual knowledge of the student rather than his ability to jam facts into his head in preparation for a single ordeal of questions.

The new tests at the semester's close will be on a par with the mid-semester tests which already occupy a place in the University organization. They will be informally conducted by the various instructors at the last regular meeting of the class.

In connection with the new rule as to examinations the senate provided that the regular class work continue until 6 p.m. of the second day prior to commencement instead of stopping for examinations ten days prior to that date. Seniors will be graded two weeks prior to this period, but unexcused absences during the last two weeks will be sufficient cause for a withholding of their degrees.

The senate's action culminates a feeling which has been growing in the faculty against basing great dependence on final examinations as tests of students' ability. It has been a faculty rule that every student must submit to such a test, but some professors have always avoided the regulation by one method or another. Now these professors are in the ascendency and the senate's action resulted.
The senate expressed its disapproval of indiscriminate holidays by voting that all recesses should be scheduled before the beginning of each semester. Holidays on short notice were placed under taboo save when they should be authorized by the chancellor and the convocation committee. Such authorization according to the expressed view of the professors, should be made only under conditions of emergency.
