Duluth is the third largest city in Minne- sota. It has grown rapidly in recent years and important devel- opments in transportation give foundation to the hopes of its resi- dents that it will some day be the metropolis of the Northwest. As the point where rails and water meet, Duluth is the gate- way to the Northwest. Radiating from the city are fifteen rail- road lines traversing an immense territory, within which are in- DULUTH HARBOR.

Northern Minnesota is truly a land of certainties, and espe- cially does certainty attend development efforts in Northeastern Minnesota. The wealth of the region is immense; the develop- ment is going forward rapidly and constantly. Agriculturally, industrially and commercially, Northeastern Minnesota is pro- gressing more rapidly than any other portion of the state or of the Northwest. . ^^,. 281230 A few years ago people scoffed when the sugs^estion of agri- cultural production in the cut-over country of Northeastern A/Tin- nesota was advanced. The Commercial club of Duluth, basing its action on sound advice and the experience of scattered settlers and city farmers, determined to silence the scoffers by bringing about agricultural development on a large scale. The club ob- tained an agricultural expert, who set out to direct the efforts of the farmers and to show the results that could be obtained under the prevailing climatic and soil conditions. His work went for- ward more rapidly than even the enthusiasts had hoped. St. Louis county, of which Duluth is the county seat, has from year to year won prizes on potatoes, celery, head lettuce, forage crops and root crops generally at the Minnesota State Fair. In 1911 twenty va- rieties of potatoes grown in the vicinity of Duluth were the best potatoes grown in the United States and exhibited at the New York Land Show at Madison Square Garden. In 1912 a bushel of potatoes grown near Duluth captured the L. W. Hill cup offered at the Northwest Land Show at Minneapolis for the best bushel of potatoes grown in the seven states — Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Agriculture is no longer experimental in Northeastern Min- nesota. Settlers are coming from Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, South- ern Wisconsin, Southern Minnesota and other districts where high prices of land prevail, to Northeastern Minnesota where the great- est capital needed is made up of brawn and determination and a willingness to work. The soil deals kindly by the man who works it properly. Crops grow luxuriantly and rapidly. There are more hours of sunshine between May 10 and Sept. 30 in the vicinity of Duluth than at St. Paul, Des Moines or St. Louis. Rainfall is more evenly distributed through the growing season. The soil is rich in properties that provide quick and substantial growth. Northeastern Minnesota is a land of dairying, for red clover grows wild and all forage crops do well. The old idea that corn could not grow in the northern part of Minnesota has been ex- ploded. Every up-to-date dairy barn now has its silo and every farm has its field of corn. One of the best Guernsey herds in the United States is at the Jean du Luth farm at Duluth and there are various fine herds of pure-bred cattle through North- eastern Minnesota. The Agricultural College of the University of Minnesota is appreciative of the possibilities of Northeastern Minnesota land. The new state demonstration farm is now in operation. County agricultural agents are at work in St. Louis, Carlton, Crow Wing, and Koochiching counties, with A. B. Hostetter, formerly agri- cultural superintendent of the Duluth Commercial club, as dis- trict supervisor. The Northeast Experiment Station at Grand Rapids, Itasca county, has played a large part in the agricultural development of the northeastern part of the state, and college ex- tension and farmers' institute workers are received with hearty welcome all through the region. Duluth is the principal market for the products of the North- eastern Minnesota farms. Up to a few years ago, the city was an importer of farm products. Now it is an exporter. Many thousands of bushels of potatoes are sent out of the territory every year; Northeastern Minnesota head lettuce, celery and cauliflower are in demand wherever people are appreciative of vegetables of unusual quality. There are many thousands of acres still available for the set- tler in Northeastern Minnesota, but there is no longer any doubt as to the ultimate agricultural development of the region. The re- sults that have been obtained, the low prices of the land, the un- daunted energy of those who are engaged in the efforts to develop the country, make certain a development that will cause the scoffers of a few years ago to hang their heads in shame. Minnesota's Mineral Wealth. Mining continues to be the chief industry of Northeastern Minnesota. Agriculture may supplant it in time, but it will not be until after the present generation, at least, has passed. The last report of the state tax commission estimated the mineral wealth of Minnesota at about one and one-half billions of tons of iron ore of all grades. Much of it is of low grade and is not considered very valuable in this day, but processes for the treat- ment of low grade ores are believed to be practicable and ulti- mately it is believed that even the ore of very low grades will be riierchantable. Northeastern Minnesota, where agriculture is being developed so rapidly, already contains over one-fourth of Minnesota's tax- able wealth. It is a valuable region to the state for it is a large contributor to governmental expenses. St. Louis county alone pays nearly one-fourth of the entire direct state tax. The ore carrying railroads contribute a large percentage of the total gross earnings tax collected by the state. Ill Minnesota now has three producing iron ranges — the Mesaba, the Vermilion and the Cuyuna. The Vermilion is the oldest, oper- ations having been begun there about twenty-nine years ago. Min- ing has been conducted on the Mesaba since about 1892, while the development of the Cuyuna range is only a matter of a few years. The underground system of mining is used on the Vermilion and Cuyuna ranges, but on the Mesaba the ore is scooped out of the ground with steam shovels in the great open pit mines. The Hull-Rust mine, operated by the Oliver Iron Mining company at Hibbing, is the largest iron mine in the world. The mining regions of Minnesota have towns that are models in municipal progress. The schools on the iron ranges are the finest to be found anywhere in the United States. Every town, even though it has only a few thousand people, has paved streets, ornamental lights and buildings that would do credit to towns much larger. The Minnesotan who has not visited the iron min- ing district has missed a liberal education in the state's resourses and progress. DULUTH, THE GATEWAY. The last United States census, taken in 1910, gave Duluth a population of 78,466. The estimate of 85,000, made in this year of 1913, is a most conservative one, for Duluth has made great strides since 1910. Industrially and commercially Duluth is going forward as rapidly as the agricultural country around it is developing. New industries have been established in the city at the rate of one a month for the last year. Duluth jobbers and manufacturers are reaching out for more and even more territory. Duluth shoes are sold in far-off Alaska. Duluth macinaws are worn from Portland, Me., to Portland, Ore. Log-loading machinery manufactured in Duluth is being operated in the forests of Florida and Alabama and even in South America. Duluth firms have salesmen all through Western Canada and the northwestern part of the United States, and Duluth's commercial interests cover the near-by Northwest completely and efficiently. Duluth has high ideals and high hopes. It really believes that the day is coming when it will outstrip the Twin Cities and will rival Chicago for the honor of being the metropolis of the West. There is every reason to believe that it has just started on its great growth. IV Heretofore practically all of the iron ore mined in Minnesota has been shipped out of the state for manufacture. It will not be so in the future. The United States Steel Corporation will begin the manufacture of steel in Duluth within another year. The cor- poration has already appropriated $17,000,000 for the steel plant at Duluth and a large part of the money has been expended. On the banks of the St. Louis river, the big buildings loom up to con- found skeptics and to cheer the hearts of those who had faith in the promise of the corporation to establish the big plant in Minnesota. The present plant is believed to be only the first unit of the indus- try. Following in the wake of the steel plant other industries will come. The Universal Portland Cement Company has already begun the erection of a plant in Duluth. Duluth's commercial scope will be broadened when the steel plant and allied industries are in operation, but Duluth depends not so much on that great new industry as upon the transportation changes that have been made and are in prospect for the future. Duluth has always had its strategic location at the head of lake navigation, but it has not always had the benefit of that location. Before the days of governmental regulation of railroads and official frowning on preferences, the railroads of the Northwest began to ignore the rights of Duluth through its location. They were engaged in building a great commercial center at the Twin Cities, and one of the foundations in that construction was the water competition existing at Duluth. Four years ago the Commercial Club of Duluth made a sur- vey of the railroad rate situation, and especially the lake-and-rail rates. It found that Duluth had been deprived of its natural advan- tages and that the Commercial Head of the Lakes had been removed from its geographical location to an artificial location at the Twin Cities. The Traffic Commission of the Commercial Club took the case to the Interstate Commerce Commission. Fourteen months after the case had been submitted, the length of time indi- cating the careful consideration given by the commission, the decision was handed down. It upheld Duluth's contention and ordered a new adjustment of lake and rail rates that is a benefit not only to Duluth but to every other community in the Northwest outside of the Twin Cities. The commission held that though Duluth is 96 miles farther by water from Buffalo than is Chicago, Duluth is entitled to the same rates from the east as Chicago. The railroads were ordered to cease discrimination against Duluth and in favor of the Twin Cities. Several small Minnesota cities joined Duluth in the action, and the commission declared that "the present adjustment works an undue discrimination against them." Duluth won on almost every point, and won not only for itself but for other communities in the Northwest. Duluth is determined to obtain an equitable adjustment of rates, and especially is it determined to have the Great Lakes waterway opened to all the people of the Northwest on an equit- able basis. In attacking the rate structure readjusted under the recent decision, it was not actuated by jealousy or animosity toward the Twin Cities, but purely by the desire to see Duluth get its rights and to have the benefits of the Great Lakes extended to all communities on an equitable basis. The people of Duluth hope that the people of the Northwest will learn properly to appreciate what the Great Lakes mean to them. Without the deep waterway of 985 miles from Duluth to Buffalo the great development that has come to the Northwest would have been impossible. In the last crop year, July 31, 1912, to July 31, 1913, 110,084,173 bu. of American grain of all kinds and 232,313,953 bu. of Canadian grain were sent down the lakes from Duluth. No railroad man would think that the railroad systems of the Northwest could handle such an immense volume of traffic, when under present conditions car shortages are yearly occurrences during the movement of the crops. Of the total grain movement from Duluth in the last crop year, 92,006,180 bu. were wheat. The average rate from Duluth to Buffalo by lake was 2 cents per bushel. The rate all-rail between the same points is 13.1 cents per bushel, a difference of 11.1 cents per bushel in favor of the lake route. On the shipments of the year the saving in transportation charges was thus $10,322,575.98. On the same basis of figuring there was a saving in transportation costs of $113,488,566.40 on the 33,877,104 tons of iron ore shipped from the port of Duluth in the 1912 navigation season, a saving of $24,295,660.37 on the 8,585,039 tons of coal received at Duluth and of $1,277,860.20 on the 326,118,000 ft. of lumber shipped from Duluth in that season. That immense saving is in addition to the saving effected by the fact that the all-rail rates in the Great Lakes territory are materially lower than the rates under similar trans- portation conditions for similar distances where the competition of a deep waterway does not exist. In furtherance of its desire to aid the development of the Northwest and at the same time increase the use of the Great Lakes waterway, Dukith people are now interested in an action of immense importance. A Duluth creamery company has filed a complaint with the Interstate Commerce Commission, asking that the boat lines be compelled to provide refrigerator facilities for the transportation of butter, eggs and poultry by boat. The all-rail rate on those products from Duluth or the Twin Cities to New York is $1.05. The rate from Duluth, by lake to Buffalo and thence to New York by rail, is 65 cents per 100 pounds, a possible saving of 40 cents per 100 pounds if the pending action is successful. Minne- sota last year produced 151,893,924 lbs. of butter, of which 90 per cent moved out of the state, and 70 per cent of that movement went to Buffalo and other eastern points. The total movement to the east was thus about 95,693,172 lbs. If it had taken the lake route, instead of going all-rail, the saving in transportation charges would have been $382,772.68. The fact that the boat lines have heretofore refused to furnish refrigerator facilities may be attributed to the fact that general merchandise boats on the lakes are owned and controlled by the railroad lines with which they are supposed to compete. That is a situation the Duluth people hope also to see corrected in time. In addition to a saving in rates, transportation by water would lay Minnesota butter, eggs and poultry down in the Eastern mar- kets in better condition than after rail transportation, according to authorities on refrigeration. Consequently, higher prices to the producer would certainly result. The following table gives an idea of the difference in rates on farm products between the lake and the all-rail means of trans- portation : COMMODITY BUFFALO NEW YORK BOSTON PHIL.

Duluth is not unappreciative of the responsibilities of its posi- tion. As the gateway to the Northwest, it must give service. In all its rate litigation and trade extension work it has held that the development of the country Duluth serves is of just as great im- VII portance as the development of Duluth itself. Duluth cannot grow unless the country back of it grows; Duluth's growth will be of benefit to the Northwest. The interest of Duluth and the North- west are mutual. Every settler brought into the Northwest is an addition to the consuming capacity of Duluth's trade territory. Every rate change that will increase the volume of traffic through Duluth will be an aid to Duluth. Duluth does not want the great waterway of the Great Lakes to itself. It wants the cheap means of transportation used by everybody within reach of the Great Lakes. The markets of the East must look to the West for supplies. The East cannot produce a sufficient amount of farm products to supply the densely populated centers. Cheap transportation on the Great Lakes is an economic saving shared in by all the people. The volume of traffic on the Great Lakes is now heavy. The port of Duluth alone handled 41,000,000 tons of freight in the season of 1912. The development of traffic has been gradual and steady. In 1900 the movement of freight through the Duluth harbor was only a little over 14,000,000 tons. Every year has shown a substantial increase, and unless all theories of economy are unsound, every year will continue to show an increase ad infinitum. The Northwest is developing rapidly. There is no appreciable limit to its possibilities of production and receipt of tonnage. While discussing the Great Lakes it is always well to remem- ber that they must be considered in a class with the ocean routes, rather than with the shallow artificial canal. The Great Lakes needed only a comparatively small amount of attention from the national government to complete a deep water highway nearly 1,000 miles in length from Buffalo to Duluth. The artificial canal with its shallow depth, topograhical obstacles and excessive trans- shipment costs for small cargoes and short distances, is not to be compared with the Great Lakes as an economic factor. While the students of transportation are at variance over the value of arti- ficial canals, and many eminent authorities declare that the artificial canal, or even the canalized river of shallow depth, cannot compete with the railroads in the United States, there is no doubt as to the dominant position of the Great Lakes as a transportation factor in the territory they serve. ^^DQNt SAY UNDERWEAR SAY MUNSINGWEARl^iin^^^ ^■^2MU u M I rfr^^mu I H 1 1 ni^^aui n u I rTT;;:;aiU 1 1 1 1 1 rfT;::aiUiJ I M r^^ MUNSING UNION SUITS for Men, Women and Children Fine in Quality Non -Irritating Long Wearing Perfect Fitting In Every Way Satisfactory M BEYOND COMPARE U NSING ^E AR Children's Munsingwear $ .50 to $2.50 Ladies' Munsingwear $ .50 to $3.50 Misses' Munsingwear . $L00 to $3.00 Youths' Munsingwear . $L00 to $3.00 Men's Munsingwear . . $1.00 to $15.00 For Sjimpl.-. of F«bnci.

PILLSBURY 'Father of the University" ALUMNI WEEKLY Brief Historical Sketch. For completer history of the University, see Forty Years of the University of Minnesota. The University of Minnesota was origi- nally organized by the legislature of 1851, under date of February 13th. It was re- organized February 14th, i860, and again in 1864, and dates its real beginning from the reorganization of February 18th, 1868, the date of its actual beginning as an in- stitution of learning. The whole period from 185 1 to 1868 might well be ignored were it not for the fact that some things were done during- that period which have had great influence upon the later history of the University. ized the regents to borrow $15,000 on the site purchased for $6,000.00. This money to be used to take up notes and erect a building. The regents did not follow instructions but undertook the construction of one wing of the Old Main at an estimated cost of about $50,000.00, expecting to pay for the same by sale of stumpage. A com- bination of hard luck and hard times came upon the regents. Stumpage could not be sold and interest charges mounted at the rate of 2 per cent a month. Before the debts were finally settled, the new site and building had cost about $125,000.00. We can hardlv appreciate the desperate state of affairs at that time. The legislature of i860 met and a reorganization was effected. Old Academy Building in the Foreground The following is a very brief history of that period. The location of the Univer- sity was fixed at or near the Falls of St. Anthony, and a gift of land, about four acres, from Franklin Steele was accepted. This land was located near the intersection of University and Central avenues. A building was erected upon this land, at a cost of about $2,500.00, raised by voluntary subscription. The building was erected and for many years was known as the "Preparatory Department of the Univer- sity of Minnesota." School was opened in this building by the Rev. Elijah W. Mer- rill, November 26th, 1851, with an enroll- ment of twenty. Mr. Merrill received his pay from tuition and likewise paid for all assistance and other expenses. The school was discontinued in 1853, and though the regents allowed several other persons the use of the building for private school pur- poses, little was accomplished. On the 19th of February, 1851, Congress granted the University two townships of land, 45,257.39 acres, for an endowment. This land was located and some stumpage was sold. In 1854 the regents purchased twenty- five and one-third acres of the present campus for $6,000 paying for the same with $1,000 borrowed money and notes for the balance. The legislature of 1856 author- But the powers of the new board were not sufficient to allow the tangled affairs of the University to be straightened out, and in 1864 the legislature named three men — John S. Pillsbury, O. C. Merriman and John Nichols, a board of regents with special powers to sell lands and pay debts. After three years of strenuous service, this board was able to report that practically all debts had been paid and a little less than fifteen thousand acres of land had been sold. 15,410.85 acres were finally sold for this purpose. The legislature of 1867 made an appropri- ation of $15,000 for repairs on the building and to tsegin instruction. A faculty of three was employed and instruction in pre- paratory subjects offered and about fifty students were enrolled. The following year the legislature re- organized the University and the real his- tory of the University as an institution of learning was begun. Three other matters settled during this period deserve mention. When the state was admitted to the Union in 1857 the en- abling act gave the state 45,661.14 acres of land for the use of a state university. The regents attempted to secure these lands but it was not until 1870 that the conten- tion of the University was conceded and the lands secured. THE MINNESOTA The charter of the University adopted in 1868 gave the University the lands, 94,429.38 acres, which had been made over to the agricultural college located at Glen- coe. This is one of the most important results attained during this period. The few attempts to maintain a school in the west wing of the Old Main building were failures. For only one of these were the regents sponsors and then the school lasted less than six months. The other at- tempts were made by individuals who were allowed the free use of the building for the purpose. The Administration of President Folwell. Instruction in preparatory subjects was ofifered for two years, 1867-68, and 1868-69. In the summer of 1869 a University faculty made only through overcoming difficulties that seemed almost insuperable. It was not until i88r, three years before the close of President Folwell's administration, that the legislature came to recognize the im- portance of the University and made an appropriation of $180,000, running through a period of six years, for the purpose of providing for the construction of addition- al and much needed buildings. June 19th, 1873, marked the graduation of the first class to complete the full four year's work in the University. On that day were grad- uated William Clark Eustis and Henry ]\Iartyn Williamson, who both received the degree of bachelor of arts. The legislature of that same year appro- priated $50,000 for the completion of the Old Main building and the erection of an New Campus View — Artist's Sketch — Washington Avenue of nine members, with Dr. William Watts Folwell as president, was elected. This faculty included the three who had previ- ously been in charge of the preparatory school. The University began its actual work of instruction, September iSth, 1869. The preparatory school had settled for all time the question of co-education. Young women presented themselves for admission and were taken in without ques- tion. The early years of the administra- tion of President Folwell were largely tak- en up in working out a plan of organiza- tion for the University. In his opening ad- dress in the Old yia'm building, December 22nd, 1869, Dr. Folwell outlined his ideas of what a University should be, emphasiz- ing his feeling that the university should be in the best sense of the word, practical — that is, prepare students for the relations in society in which they will find them- selves after graduation. In this address Dr. Folwell said, "There is, as I have said, but one resource — the State must endow the University, and if the State will have the University in its full proportion, let her first count the cost and take the mil- lion for her unit." The early days of this administration were most discouraging and progress was agricultural building. The ]\Iain building was completed so that the exercises of commencement of 1875 could be held in it. The agricultural building was completed for the opening of the following college year. Among the important events of Dr. Fol- well's administration was the organization of the geological and natural history sur- vey, the organization of the state high school board to encourage the establish- ment of high schools, and the organization of the medical department as an examin- ing board. The far reaching effects of the organization of the high school board, particularly, mark its establishment as a matter of unusual importance. In 1S80 there came a crisis in the inter- nal affairs of the Universit^^ Up to that time the regents had been accustomed to elect the faculty annualh^ When the elec- tion of that year was held onlj^ five of the eleven members were re-elected. It was at that time that Professors Sanford, Pike, Downy, Ormond, Dodge and Benton were brought to the University to fill the places of those who had failed of re-election. This date seems to mark a decided change of sentiment of the legislature toward the University and the following year the larg- ALUMNI WEEKLY 5 est appropriation ever made up to that time, $180,000, for new ])uildings, was made. It is also worthy of note that as early as 1874, Dr. Folwell submitted to the re- gents a plan for the esta1)lishment of courses in agriculture, substantially the same as those adopted by the regents when the agricultural school was estab- lished, fourteen years later. Soon after Dr. Folwell became president, he began agitating the (luestion of more land for the University campus, and ap- propriations were secured which practical- ly doubled the size of the campus as is was when he came to the University. Later, toward the close of his administration, he earnestly urged the regents to sell the Uni- versity campus and to move the Univer- a more liberal and far-sighted policy for the University. We take the date first mentioned, however, since it marks a con- venient, though not absolutely accurate, dividing line between the old and the new. The high reputation that President Northron had won as a college professor was eclipsed by his conspicuous success as an executive. For twenty-six years he was at the head of the University. He be- gan his administration by building upon the solid foundation laid by his predeces- sor, and, taking the high school board sys- tem as he found it, he made much of the possibilities of that system to promote the growth of the University. The marvelous growth of the University during the years of his administration was due in no small measure to the way in which he kept the New Campus View— Artist's Sketch— Medical Group sity bodily to the north shore of Lake Minnetonka where a section of land could be secured. It was also during Dr. Fol- well's administration that the Minnetonka fruit farm was established and successful extension work in agriculture instituted. Despite the discouragements of the early days of his administration. Dr. Folwell was destined to see a change of sentiment on the part of the people of the state before its close. In 1883 President Folwell asked the regents to accept his resignation which had been in their hands for many years previous. The regents accepted his resig- nation and requested Dr. Folwell to con- tinue in service until his successor was elected, which he did. When the election of Cyrus Northrop to the presidency took place. Dr. Folwell was chosen professor of political science and librarian, positions which he held until his final resignation from the University in 1907. President ISlorthrop's Administration. The year 1X84-85, tlie closing of Dr. Fol- well's and the beginning of President Northrop's administration, furnishes a nat- ural dividing line in the history of the Uni- versity. The real dividing line should be 1881, for it was the legislature of that year that put itself on record as favoring University in close touch with the high school system of the state. The first problem to engage the atten- tion of President Northrop was the estab- lishment of an agricultural course to meet the demands that were growing ever more and more insistent. How this was done may be read in another part of this book describing the establishment of the school of agriculture. Associated with this prob- lem of the establishment of a proper sys- tem of agricultural education was the prob- lem to retain the institution intact. A desperate efifort was made by those who felt that agriculture was not receiving its proper recognition in the University, to have the University dismembered and an independent school of agriculture estab- lished. It was about this time, 1887, that President Northrop made his great speech on agricultural education which helped to turn the tide and prevent the dismember- ment of the institution. The real crisis in the situation was reached when the legisla- ture of 1887 met; it seemed that nothing could prevent the separation of the agri- cultural college from the rest of the insti- tution. Governor Pillsbury stepped in and ofifered to build a science building, now known as Pillsbury hall, and donate it to the state, provided the legislature would 6 ALUMNI WEEKLY put itself on record as being forever and irrevocably opposed to such separation. The question was settled for all time and it has never been a really live question since that date. Three years prior to the beginning of the school of agriculture, 1885, the University had discovered Mr. Gregg and had started him on his institute work through the state. This service, rendered the cause of agriculture, undoubtedly had its weight in securing the final settlement of the ques- tion of the dismemberment in favor of maintaining the integrity of the institution. students, the problem was no light one, but President Xorthrop's wonderful hold on the people of the state, and their faith in him, made it possible to secure from the legislature support, which, though not wholly adequate, served to support the University and to enable it to make some real progress. Beginning with the year, 1901, there came the creation of the board of control of state institutions, whose history may be found elsewhere in this book. The Uni- versity was brought under its control. The conditions of dual control were unendur- President and Mrs. Vincent The next great step forward was at the opening of the year 1888-89 when the col- lege of law and the department of medi- cine with its three colleges, were estab- lished. Up to that time the institution had been really nothing but a college of liberal arts in which courses in engineering and agriculture were fostered and had come to have a nominally independent existence. The problem, for practically the balance of President Northrop's administration, was to keep pace with the rapid growth of the institution and to provide for the ever increasing flood of students that clamored for admission. With an average annual increase of something like two hundred able. The two boards, with the best of intentions to get along harmoniously, could not manage one institution and de- termined effort was made to have the law repealed. Two years went by and no attempt was made to put the law into force, because it was known that here was a question as to the constitutionality of the law and also it was known that the legis- lature did not really intend to include the University under the provisions of the law. But when the legislature of 1903 had had the matter up and, through political ma- chinations, had been brought to decide against the release of the University, there was nothing to do but to bow gracefully THE MINNESOTA to the inevitable and go to work to secure relief at the next session. This was done. The alumni and other friends of the Uni- versity rallied to the support of Alma Mat- er and made themselves so insistent that a notable and overwhelming victory was won. The need of the University for the sup- port of its alumni was clearly demonstrat- ed in 1901. Nobly did the alumni respond. A General Alumni Association, represent- ing all departments of the University, was organized, and the alumni came to know and realize their responsibility for the wel- fare of the University. This arousing of the alumni in the interests of the Univer- sity is a mile stone that marked the begin- ning of bigger and better things. to secure from the legislature money to se- cure a much needed addition to the campus. This campaign was likewise successful and the University received an appropriation of $450,000 which was supplemented two years later by an additional appropriation of $350,000 and in addition received contri- butions from citizens of Minneapolis amounting to $40,000, with which to pur- chase land practically doubling the size of the campus. In December, 1909, President Northrop placed his resignation with the board of regents, to take effect when his successor should be elected and qualify. A succes- sor was not chosen until a year later, when George Edgar Vincent, of the University of Chicago, was selected to fill the position. View of New Campus from South — Artist's Sketch The rapid growth of the institution had made proper provision for its support practically impossible. Salaries were in- adeouate and the campus was fast being crowded to its limits. There had been rapidly growing a feeling that a change must be made if the institution was to con- tinue to serve the state as it should. In the year 1907 a determined campaign was made to secure for the University a lib- eral increase in current expense fund, in order to allow of a material increase in University salaries. The campaign was successful and a general raise of about 30 per cent was made in faculty salaries. This general raise had been supplemented since that date and now salaries average about 50 per cent more than they did prior to 1907. The same year an effort was made President Northrop remained in charge of the institution until the ist of April, 1911, when he turned over the institution to his successor. For two years President Vincent has been in charge. The record of these two years is a wonderful record. President Vincent already enjoys the loyal support of the people of the State. He has been able to bring about many desired changes and has made University extension such a reality that the phrase — "A state-wide campus," seems not unlikely to be realized. It is as yet too early to do more than in- dicate, as we have in the foregoing state- ment, that Minnesota has been most for- tunate in choosing a successor to Presi- dent Northrop.

The following is the first and essential paragraph of the Adams bill v.'hich was approved by the president, 1906: "Be it enacted by the House of Repre- sentatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that there shall be, and hereby is, annually appropriated out of an}^ money in the treasury, not other- wise appropriated, to be paid as herein- after provided, to each state and territory, for the more complete endowment and maintenance of agricultural experiment stations now established or which may hereafter be established in accordance with 10 THE MINNESOTA the act of Congress approved March 2nd, 1887, the sum of $S,ooo in addition to the sum named in said act, for the year end- ing June 30th, 1906, and an annual increase of the amount of such appropriation there- after for five years by an additional sum of $2,000 over the preceding year, and the annual amount to be paid thereafter to each state and territory shall be thirty thousand dollars, to be applied only to paying the necessary expenses of conduct- ing original researches or experiments bearing directly on the agricultural indus- try of the United States, having due regard for the varying conditions and needs of the respective states and territories." This is virtually an amendment to the Hatch bill, under the provisions of which experi- ment stations were established and by which they have heen supported since 1887.

This building of the department of agriculture is in the form of a "T", 248 feet in length and 145 feet in depth. It is three stories and basement and is of fire proof construc- tion. The material used is brown pressed brick and Bedford stone. A striking fea- ture of the interior is the great stone en- trance hall and stairs, finished in polished Kasota marble. This material has been used for the floors and halls throughout the building. The first floor contains the ex- ecutive offices of the school, college and experiment station, together with library and reading room, as well as seminars and farm accounts room and a beautiful and spacious auditorium and stage, the audito- rium and gallery being capable of seating 1,000 people. The second floor contains the entomo- logical and sewing departments. The en- tire building is finished in weathered oak and the walls and ceilings in quiet but pleasing colors. The heating is by steam which in combination with a blower sys- tem furnishes abundant fresh warm air throughout the building at all times. The lighting is by electricity. Age Limit. The University regulation regarding the age limit for retiring mem- bers of the teaching staff is sixty-eight years. The rule works automatically and it requires direct and positive action by the board of regents to suspend its action in any particular case. Agrarian, The, was founded by the sen- ior class of 1913 of the school of agricul- ture. This publication is a senior annual and occupies the same relative place in the life of the school of agriculture as the Gopher does in the student life of the University. Agricultural Athletic Club. This club was organized at the department of agri- culture in the spring of 1913. Its purpose being to manage athletics at the depart- ment of agriculture and to serve as an ad- junct to the general athletic association of the University. Agricultural Chemistry Laboratory, erected in 1902, at a cost of $30,000, and in 1904, $5,000 was added in way of equip- ment. Contains the office of the chemist of the department and the station; labor- atories for practice in elementary agricul- tural chemistry, chemistry of foods and soils and fertilizers and domestic chemis- try; work rooms, recitation rooms for classes in chemistry. Agricultural Club was organized in 1910 and has a membership of 160. Its purpose is to serve as a medium for registering the sentiment of agricultural students; to promote the interest of the students, the college as a whole, and to advance the call- ing of agriculture. Bi-weekly meetings are held at which there are discussions and social features. Occasional lectures by out- side authorities are secured. The club con- templates taking into its membership peo- ple outside the University and also the holding of an annual meeting of all mem- bers, so as to give the club membership in the Farmers National Congress.

Agricultural Experiment Stations. The main agricultural experiment station is located at St. Anthony Park and embraces 408.75 acres, and in addition 120 acres are rented for experimental purposes. There are sub-stations at Crookston of 462 acres; at Grand Rapids of 454.6 acres; at Morris of 292.55 acres; at Duluth of 240 acres; at Waseca of 246.02 acres; at Excelsior of carried along in connection with the work of instruction in the department of agri- culture and it is impossible to draw a line and say that here the work of one ends and the work of the other begins, for each is dependent upon the other, despite the fact that the experiment station is an in- dependent institution. The various lines of work carried on at the central station include ten divisions as follows: (i) Dairy and animal husbandry, (2) Agronomy and farm management, (3) Horticulture, (4) Veterinary science, (5) Entomology, (6) Chemistry and soils, (7) Plant pathology and botany, (8) Agricult- ural engineering, (9) Forestry, and (10) Bureau of agricultural economics research. The sub-stations located at various points in the state of Minnesota serve a valuable purpose as centers of experimental work relating particularly to the localities which they serve, avoiding as far as possible dup- lication of work.

The experiment station was originally es- tablished by act of the legislature, ap- proved March 7, 1885, and placed under the control of the Board of Regents. The act carried no appropriation. An act of Congress, known as the Hatch Bill, ap- proved IMarch 2, 1887, appropriated $15,000 annually for the support of the work of investigation and experiment stations es- tablished in various states. Minnesota complied with the provisions of the law and since 1887 has received $15,000 annu- ally for the purposes specified. This ap- propriation was supplemented by the pro- visions of the Adams Bill, approved in 1906, by which the experiment station re- ceived an initial appropriation of $5,000 with an increase of $2,000 a year until a maximum of $15,000 annually was reached. At the present time the state appropriates approximately $150,000 annually to carry on work at these various experiment sta- tions. The w^ork of the experiment station is tion with the agricultural schools located at those places. The stations at Minne- tonka and Owatonna are devoted to fruit and tree culture and breeding. Those at Cloquet and Itasca to forestry investiga- tions. Agricultural Land Grant. An act of the legislature of Minnesota, passed March 10, 1858, set aside lands in McLeod county for a site for an agricultural college and for an experimental farm. This institution was to be under the control of the presi- dent and executive committee of the state agricultural society. In 1861 the state do- nated to this college all the swamp lands of McLeod county. Nothing was ever done toward organizing a college at this place. The congressional grant of 1863 was ac- cepted and the lands located and, because the affairs of the University were in such unsettled condition, these lands were made over to the agricultural college at Glencoe, in 1866. The following year, the special board of three made a report showing a wiping out of the debt of the University 12 THE MINNESOTA and 32,000 acres of the territorial grant still untouched. Through the good offices of Regent Pillsbury, then senator, the two grants were consolidated and given to the University. It was provided that the swamp lands granted to the McLeod insti- tution, which amounted to 4,684 acres, should remain in the possession of that institution as an endowment of Stevens Seminary. See Congressional Land Grants. Agricultural Museums. Practically every division of the department of agriculture has made collections of material that bear upon instruction in that department. These collections are very important and valu- able. Agriculture, The Department of. The main division of the department of agri- culture is located at St. Anthony Park, on a farm of about 420 acres. Other divisions of the department are located at Crook- ston and Morris, Minn., where schools of tion, may attend the classes and undergo examinations in any subject, and if suc- cessful will receive a certificate to that effect." In addition to the college course, an elementary course, outlined especially to meet the needs of the prospective farm- er, was provided. In 1875-76, a special lecture course for men engaged in the practice of farming was offered upon con- dition that thirty persons signify their in- tention to pursue the course. This course of lectures was to extend through ten \veeks and to be both scientific and prac- tical and no fees, examinations or condi- tions were prescribed for admission. Special effort was made to secure the attendance of practical farmers upon this special lec- ure course, and though the course was offered, without restrictions of any kind, for five years, the demand did not justify its being given. In 1881-82, 191 students were enrolled in this course, though the GROWTH OF THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE less 1869 1889 1890 1890 If9l 1891 |8»2 1892 1893 1893 894 894 1895 1895 1896 1897 1897 I89« 1898 1899 899 }990 1900 1901 1901 1902 1902 903 1903 1904 904 90S 90 5 906 906 907 1907 908 908 1909 909 910 1910 1911 1911 1912 1912 1913 COLLEGE MEN 5 3 7 7 9 10 14 23 21 23 25 19 14 27 29 45 57 91 148 T7I 22 7 205 i-f.i WOMEN 2 2 3 3 3 5 18 26 44 114 204 212 /fr,r TOTAL 5 3 7 7 9 10 14 23 21 23 27 21 17 30 32 50 75 117 192 285 431 417 'fxi SCHOOL MEN 47 78 104 101 114 144 204 223 265 272 253 327 301 328 358 375 387 381 385 407 452 468 606 598 ill WOMEN 59 46 70 37 60 80 86 122 123 147 143 155 175 173 192 236 281 282 xn TOTAL 47 78 104 101 114 144 263 269 335 309 313 407 387 450 481 522 530 536 560 580 644 704 887 880 9iS DAIRY SCHOOL 28 30 '59 90 97 91 83 75 73 101 114 82 106 109 87 106 93 107 107 98 96 /o3 FARMERS' SHORT COURSE 24 33 57 47 121 95 8t 141 169 236 203 127 /3^ TEACHERS' SUMMER SCHOOL 90 36 38 889 ?i-3 COLLEGE SUMMER SCHOOL 70 H SUMMER FORESTRY SCHOOL Ifl ?l 19 SCHOOL OF TRACTION ENGINEERING 149 145 39 37 JUNIOR SHORT COURSE 310 SXS SUPERVISORS' COURSE 3 4 TOTAL AT UNIV FARM 47 78 109 132 151 210 362 376 440 415 409 503 539 618 637 70S 792 768 E22 931 1220 154 1825 2827|ir7J SCHOOL AT CROOKSTON 31 41 101 129 139 159 IS/-, SCHOOL AT MORRIS 1 105 91 ai agriculture are maintained; and still others at Grand Rapids, Duluth, Waseca, Owa- tonna, Cloquet, Itasca Park and Lake Min- netonka, where experiment stations and demonstration farms are maintained. Pro- vision for the creation of this department was made in the charter of the University and the College of Agriculture was one of the first colleges to be organized. The first organization, which was intended to be merely tentative and which lasted for but two years, provided for a college of agri- culture and the mechanic arts. The reor- ganization of 1871, established this college as an independent college. Originally the work of this college was the same as for the college of science, literature and arts, up to the end of the sophomore year and the degree of bachelor of agriculture was conferred upon those who completed this course and the two years of special agri- cultural work of the junior and senior years. It was also provided that ''any per- son not a candidate for a degree, who may appear to be competent to receive instruc- course had to be reduced to six weeks, in- stead of the ten weeks that had been pre- viously offered. The following year the attendance in this lecture course increased to 281; the total attendance in the other courses in this college having increased to 10. In 1882-83, the attendance of this course increased to 1118. This large attendance was secured by offering popular lectures upon subjects re- lated to agriculture and home economics. Then for several years the attendance dropped off entirely and it was not until the year 1885-86, that the catalogue shows any attendance and then an enrollment of but five students in the school of practical agriculture which opened May i and closed November i, the students working on the farm to pay their expenses. The follow- ing year this course showed an attendance of fourteen and plans were matured for the organization of the present school of agri- culture. With the opening of the year, 1888-89. this school was fully organized and had an enrollment of 47. ALUMNI WEEKLY 13 rij m r.^- '''1 ' MiH^H i lb.

Minnesota's contribution to education has undoubtedly been greatest in the solving of the prob-. lem of agricultural education, through the establishment of the school of agriculture, which has been copied all over the world. As far back as 1879 the Minnesota State Grange began agitating for the establish- ment of instruction in agriculture suited to the needs of the farmers. A committee was appointed to wait upon the board of regents and to urge immediate action. The committee which met the board, W. S. Chowen, A. M. Bull and J. D. Schofield, did much to bring about a correct solution of the problem. As early as April 20th 1874, Dr. Folwell submitted to the board of regents a report, outlining a course of study substantially that later adopted in the establishment of the school of agri- culture. The substance of his contention at that time was, that, "agricultural educa- tion ought to be professional education" and he proposed to model such a school after other American professional schools, insisting that agriculture could be so taught successfully. He outlined a course in practical agriculture to be offered dur- ing the months when the sons of the farm- ers would be free to pursue such courses. During all these years the Grange was pushing for the establishment of a school to teach practical agriculture and Mr. Chowen. in particular, was indefatigible in his efforts in this direction. Professor Ed- ward D. Porter, who was at the head of of the agricultural department atthat time was also active in trying to bring about definite results along practical lines. Mr. O. C. Gregg, who was in charge of the farmers' institute work is also to be cred- ited with helping to bring about the estab- lishment of a really successful school of agriculture. The work of the institutes 14 THE MINNESOTA had been successful from the start, dem- onstrating- the correctness of the conten- tion of those who demanded education in practical agriculture. At the meeting of the board of regents, April I, iS8y, on motion of Governor Pills- bury, an advisory board of seven members, made up of practical farmers, was created. The function of this board was to be to keep in touch with the agricultural depart- ment of the University and to recommend to the regents such action as they deemed advisable. The first board was appointed at the meeting of the regents which oc- curred on April 7, of the same year, and consisted of Messrs. G. W. Sprague, Can- ton; D. D. Burnes, Welcome; T. J. Smith, St. Paul; L. H. Stanton, Morris; Wyman Elliott, Minneapolis; S. Harbaugh, St. Paul; D. L. Wellman, Frazee City. At the same meeting the regents voted to direct Professor Porter to consult with this board concerning the estalishment of an indus- trial school of agriculture and to submit plans for such a school at the following meeting of the board. The board met again on the 13th of the same month, and received a report from the advisory board, as follows: Resolved: That the board of regents be advised to make such appropriation, as may be necessary to provide suitable ac- commodations for the students of the school of agriculture on the experimental farm. "Resolved; That the proposition to es- tablish a school of agriculture on the ex- perimental farm be approved and endorsed by this advisory committee as promising the best possible solution of the problem of agricultural education in Minnesota." This report was approved and it was voted, at the same meeting, to establish a school of agriculture in conformity with these resolutions, and the executive com- mittee was instructed to erect a building, at a cost not to exceed $10,000, as soon as the funds should be available for the same. Dr. David L. Kiehle, then superintendent of public instruction, had given the prob- lem much serious study and careful in- vestigation, visiting many manual training schools and agricultural colleges in his search for helpful information bearing up- on the question. In a communication in the Farm Stock and Home of February, 1888, he outlined a course of study sub- stantially similar to that later adopted by the_ regents in establishing a school of agriculture. The essential features being a school to be conducted during the winter ■months, when the children of the farmers would have leisure to attend; to take those who had had a common school education, andgive them a school course mainly ob- jective, manual, practical and scientific, which should fit the student for the duties of life as a farmer. The school opened October 18, 1888, and continued until April 17, 1889, the attendance being 47. See De- partment of Agriculture. For a number of years past a new development in school work has obtained. Students attending the school do practical work on their home farms, carrying out in practice the theories learned at the school. This work is gradually being more closely supervised and wherever possible, the work is under the personal direction of some member of the stafif.

Albert Howard Scholarship Fund, This fund, of $4,166.81, was given to the Univer- sity by Mrs. Albert Howard, in 1895, as a memorial to her husband, a pioneer resi- dent of Minneapolis. Mr. Howard always felt great interest in the University and this scholarship, founded by Mrs. Howard, was in recognition of that interest. The scholarship is assigned by the board of re- gents upon recommendation of the faculty. The income only is awarded and the fol- lowing named persons have been recipi- ents of payments under the scholarship: 189s, Alexander P. Anderson; 1896, Joseph- ine E.

So named in honor of the wife of the donor, Thomas Shevlin, was erected in 1906, the cost of tlie same, $60,000, being provided by Mr. Shevlin. The building is 114x55 feet and is solely for the use of the young women of the University. It is intended thaf this building shall pro- vide the young women students of the University, a place where they can pass pleasantly and profitably the hours they must spend every day on the campus and yet not in class room. The building is two stories and basement. In the base- ment are found kitchen and lunch rooms, toilet and cloak rooms. The first floor has a large living room, with fireplace, which ALUMNI WEEKLY 15 runs through two stories, together with an assembly room, several smaller parlors, and Y. W. C. A. rooms and offices. The second floor provides a large study room, a rest room with fifteen couches, society rooms, the offices of the matron. The building was designed by Ernest Kennedy, Ex-'88, and is constructed of red sand mold brick with terra cotta trimmings. The interior finish varies in the different rooms but is all very rich and beautiful. The fur- nishings of the building were provided by the Y. W. C. A., and the Woman's League and their friends. In 1910, Mr. Shevlin gave $20,000, addi- tional for the construction of an addition to the building to be used as a dining hall. This was constructed the same year and provides sufficient room so that above four hundred can be served in the dining room at one time. AU-American Football Men.

Eleven members of the freshmen gymnasium team were given a numeral 16 worked in- side the letter G on cloth of maroon and gold. Two prizes in the form of pins were awarded to the winner of the skating and swimming contests and numeral badges were given to the basketball teams of the freshman and senior classes, the members of the senior team being given watch fobs in addition — a gold fob for the captain and silver fobs for the other members of the team. Athletic Field, suggested plan to secure — The Minnesota Alumni Weekly of Janu- uary 15th, 1912 contains an article upon the need of larger fields for athletics and suggested plans for securing the same. Athletic Field Day. Almost from the beginning down to about 1897, the annual field day was held during commencement week. These events were often hotly contested and were always interesting, though the fact that there was no one to train the men made the records of little consequence. Athletic Finances.

The requirement for the granting of the "M" varies in different sports. In football, participation in two conference games is required; the same requirement holds for basket ball; in baseball, one full game as a member of the battery staff, or in any other position, participation in one-fourth the innings in conference games. In other sports it depends upon the winning of a first olace or two seconds. ' Tennis requirement winners and runners-up are both entitled to "M." Athletics, Control of. The athletics of the University are under the supervision of a board of control made up of seven student members, two faculty members and two alumni members. This board has general supervision of all matter con- nected with athletic contests and the ar- rangement of the schedules of games and all details connected with the same. The final authority, however, lodges in the fa- culty committee of five members, created in conformity with a resolution adopted by the board of regents, May 3, 1906. By virtue of the authority conferred upon this committee by the said resolutions, the committee has charge of all tickets and other sources of revenue. An auditing committee, of this committee, has charge of all expenditures and no bills can be paid without its approval. This commit- tee also is vested with power to determine the eligibility of all candidates for partic- ipation in athletic contests. The commit- tee also has the veto power over all pro- posed expenditures by the athletic board of control, and of Northrop field and all grandstands therein. In short, this com- mittee is given full and absolute control of athletics, subject to the revision and ratification of the University Council.

Basketball. Basketball at the Univer- sity, really began with the students of the school of agriculture, who used to have a winning team in the days before the 'Var- sity team was thought of. The first 'Var- sity team of which there is record is that of 1897-98. The score cards for the va- rious years tell the tale of development in this line of sport. In 1901-02 the 'Var- sity team had a clear title to the college championship of the United States and since that time has been one of the teams to be reckoned with in figuring out the championship of the country. 1897-98 — Minnesota vs. Minneapolis Y.

The act of 1901, creating the state board of control, was not primarily designed to include the edu- cational institutions of the State. In the fight against the whole proposition, an amendment was proposed to the bill, mak- ing it include the educational institutions of the state in its provisions. Greatly to the surprise of those who were oppos- ing the bill, and who hoped thus to de- feat it, the bill was passed and became a law. The bill, as it was passed, was be- lieved to be unconstitutional by all friends of the University, since the title was not amended to include the educational insti- tutions. No attempt was made by the board of control to assert its authority over the University. The regents, for two years, continued in undisputed control. The normal schools, in like state with the University, voluntarily waived their tech- nical right under the law and placed them- selves under the supervision of the board of control. In a short time, friction arose over the administration of the afifairs of those schools, and the normal board at- tempted to withdraw from the position into which it had voluntarily put itself. The case was taken into the courts, and a ruling was secured which declared the educational institutions of the state "char- itable" in their nature and the law was held to be constitutional. Still no attempt was made to bring the University under the supervision of the board of control. The legislature met and an attempt was made to have the University released from such control by a special act specifically declaring such freedom for the Univer- sity. A combination of interests which desired to use the University to secure their own release from board of control supervision, managed to prevent the pass- age of this act. When the legislature of 1903 adjourned without affording the de- sired relief, the board of regents, made overtures to the board of control and the board assumed the partial control given it under the law. This control extended only over the purchase of supplies, the pur- chase of fuel and placing of insurance, the erection of new buildings. This dual con- trol could result in but one outcome, unsat- isfactory conditions all around. After a two years' trial conditions were such as to make further continuation of the arrange- ment wholly intolerable. The legislature of 1905, by a practically unanimous vote, afforded the long-sought relief and the Uni- versity again came back under the sole supervision of the board of regents, save in the matter of placing insurance, pur- chase of fuel and the erection of new build- ings; in all these matters the board of control still has control. For further information on this matter see the Weekly, fall and winter numbers. 26 ALUMNI WEEKLY of 1904-05, during the session of the legis- lature. Board of Regents.

Botanical Plant House. This was built and equipped in 1906 at a cost of $10,000. It consists of five connected glass houses covering a ground area of about 3,700 square feet, and an adjoining work room 17x25 feet, with basement of same size. The various houses are maintained at dif- ferent temperatures to meet the needs of the various plants cared for. The Xero- phitic house (25x25 feet) provides for the culture of cacti, euphorbias and other suc- culent and heat loving plants; the palm house (28x33 feet) has a gable height of 18 feet ,and provides for palms, cycads, tree ferns and bamboos; the temperature house provides for the common plants familiar as house plants; the aquatic house (18x33 feet) contains a large cement tank for water lilies, papyrus and other aqua- tics and a bog for the culture of pitcher plants, Venus fly traps, and sundews; this house contains many portable tanks for the culture of smaller aquatics, and many perching orchids occupy hanging baskets in this house; the lily house (18x33 feet) is devoted largely to lilies, amaryllids and other plants requiring similar cultural con- ditions. It is expected that in time pro- vision will be made to make the part of the campus about the plant house a bot- anical garden and that further provision ALUMNI WEEKLY 27 will be made for a laboratory greenhouse for the use of the department of botany. The legislature of 1913 appropriated $3,000 for an addition to the plant house. Botanical Seminar.

Early in June, 191 1, Mr. Bren, then cashier of the University, reported that he had been held up and robbed, of something over $13,000.00 on the University campus. Mr. Bren was later accused of having embezzled this amount and was arrested and indicted. After a year and a half had passed the regents made formal demand that Mr. Bren forth- with return all funds belonging to the University for which he was responsible. The attorneys for Mr. Bren then paid over to the University the exact amount which the public examiner had found missing. Mr. Bren was brought to trial on an in- dictment charging him with not account- ing for public funds in his charge, and was acquitted. The county attorney refused to nolle the remaining cases and asked for more time to prepare the same. The court held that the state had had sufficient time to prepare its cases and ordered the indictments dismissed and freed Mr. Bren. The University recovered every cent that was missing and suffered no loss. Bren, Joseph D., born January 27th, 1874, at Hopkins, Minn.

His father was a Highland Scotchman and his mother, Delia Ann Lewis, a X'ermont Yankee. Mr. Buck enlisted in August, 1862, and served for three years in the war as a member of the iioth N. Y. regiment; three brothers were with him as members of Company F of that regiment. After he was mustered out of service, Mr. Buck went to Nebraska and spent three years hunting and trapping beaver, wolf and otter and made enough mone}- so that he was able to return home and pay oflf a $1,600 mortgage on his father's farm. Thirty years ago, just after he had mar- ried Catharine Howies, Mr. Buck came to Minneapolis and followed his trade of painter for ten years and then came to the University as janitor and was later trans- ferred to the military department to look after the stores and equipment of that de- partment in which he was a fixture for his quaint philosophy of life is refreshing because of its originality and its optimism. He has had rather more than his share of the troubles of this world but he is still cheerful and his ready wit enlivens his talk upon any topic in which he is engaged. His own estimate of his life is — "I ain't done nothin' to brag about, but I've tried to give everybody a square deal." "Buck"' is a great favorite with the boys and they feel for him a genuine regard entirely apart from their interest in him as an unusually interesting character. Buckman, Thomas S., Faribault.

The University campus in- cludes 108.5 acres of land within the city limits of Minneapolis. The first purchase of land for the present site was made by the University, October 21st, 1854, twenty- five and one-third acres being purchased at that time of 'Paul R. George and Joshua Taylor. A mistake was made in making out this deed and to correct the same a new quit-claim deed was made by Calvin Tuttle, who quit-claimed the land intended to be conveyed in the previous deed, on July 2ist, 1856. The quit-claim deed cov- ered twenty-seven and eight-one-hundred- ths acres. This piece of land was bounded on the south by the section line running eighty-nine rods from the east bank of the Mississippi river, thence 39 3-4 degrees west to a point approximately at the corner of the present intersection of 14th and University avenues southeast, thence back to the river on a line conforming very closely with the present railroad tracks. The consideration paid by the regents was $6,000, $1,000 in cash advanced by friends and $5, 000 in notes secured by mortgage, bearing 12 per cent interest. So rapidly did the land increase in value, that the legislature, which met the same year of the purchase, authorized the regents to borrow $15,000 secured on the land purchased for $6,000. No additions were made to the campus until the legislature of 1877 appropriated $18,000 to enlarge the campus. At that time, Thatcher's addition was purchased and a part of the land which now lies north of the Great Northern tracks. Two years later the legislature made another appro- priation for increasing the campus, $20,000 being given for the purpose, and following year, 1880, $20,000 more was appropriated for the same purpose. The sale of a right of way through the campus added $28,000 to the amount avail- able for the purchase of additional land. With this money the purchase of the land to the north of the Great Northern tracks, (save a little strip, on Eleventh avenue, 26 1-2 by 181 feet, which was af- terward contributed by Mr. S. H. Chute), and four and one-half blocks bordering the 2>6 THE MINNESOTA Plan for Campus Development south side of the campus, extending to Arlington street. In 1903, the legislature appropriated $11,000 for the purchase of more land and for grading the campus. With this money was purchased four lots in block 3, part of the land now enclosed in Northrop Field. Governor Pillsbury, before his last illness, had begun the pur- chase of the lots in this block and his heirs gave six lots in this block to carry out what they knew to be his wishes. The city council voted to vacate Arlington street from the river to Harvard street and to vacate Union street from Arlington to University avenue for the benefit of the University. C. J. Rockwood J. T. Elwell The legislature of 1907 appropriated $450,000 and the legislature of 1909 supple- mented this with an additional appropria- tion of $350,000 for the purchase of addi- tional land for the campus. The alumni of the college of medicine and surgery as- sisted by the faculty of that college, raised $40,000 by private sul:)Scription to pur- chase a site for the Elliot Memorial hos- pital. With this money there has been purchased all of the land to the south of the old campus, extending east to Union street. The Park Board owns a wide boulevard along the river which for prac- tical purposes forms a part of the campus. With the purchase of this additional land and the vacating of certain streets by ac- tion of the city council, nearly fifty acres were added to the campus. Campus Club. This club was organized and incorporated in the early spring of 191 1. Any male member of the instruc- tional staff of the University is eligible to membership and others "interested in the welfare of the University" may be admit- ted. The club was given the use of a house at 112 Church street southeast. This house was remodeled and furnished for the use of the club and has been the home of the club since September, 191 1. The house contains parlors, dining room, kitchen and a few sleeping rooms. Meals are served during the college year. The club has re- cently been given the use of two houses which are to be moved to a point between Pleasant street and the river and just south of the railroad, N. P. tracks and remodeled for the use of the club. Campus Quartet. One of the most fa- mous of '\"arsity musical organizations. ALUMNI WEEKLY 37 Edward Borncamp, deceased; Harry O.

The finest group ap- pearing in the University museum is that of Newfoundland caribou presented to the University by James Ford Bell, '01, in the spring of 1910. Mr. Bell employed expert assistants in securing this group, which represents the Newfoundland caribou as they appear in their native haunts. The background was painted by John A. Cor- win of Chicago. Mr. Brandler, the taxider- mist, who had charge of the work accom- panied Mr. Bell on his trip when the speci- mens were secured.

Carnegie Foundation Retiring Allowance — The University is among the institutions which receive the benefit of the pension system of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The substance of the regulations govern- ing the granting of a pension is as fol- lows: I. A minimum age limit of 65 years, or, 2. Total disability. 3- Not less than 15 years' service in an institution of collegiate grade. 4. To widow of deceased recipient or person entitled to receive the benefit of the allowance. _ 5- No pension for teachers in profes- sional departments whose chief work is outside of teaching, nor to any person who continues to receive pay for whole or part time as a member of the instructing staff of the institution. 6. No provision has yet been made for members of the staff of instruction of agricultural departments. 7. Hold rank of professor or assistant professor. 8. Librarians, registrars, recorders and administrative officers of long terms, and who receive salaries ranking them with professors or assistant professors. 9. No allowances less than $1,000 nor more than $4,000. The allowance is computed as follows: R equals A-2 plus $400; R equals annual retiring allowance. A equals active pay, that is, the average pay received during the five years preceding the granting of the allowance. All payments are made through the busi- ness offices of the University. The following named members of the University staff have been granted such allowances : Dr. William Watts Folwell. President Cyrus Northrop. Maria L. Sanford. Judge Adam C. Hickman.

Was composed of the debating associations of the University of Michigan, the University of Minnesota, Northwestern University, and the University of Chicago. Its pur- pose was to discuss in public leading ques- tions of the day and to develop ready and forceful speakers. The four universities were arranged in two groups for the semi- final debates, which were held the second Tuesday in January. On the first Friday in April in each year, the winners from the groups met in a final debate in the city of Chicago. Minnesota withdrew from this league in 1906 and proceeded at once to organize the new Central debating cir- cuit of America. Gentral Heating Plant. The total cost of the entire plant, including all tunnels, shafts, building, smoke stack and equip- ment was $255,000, of which amount ap- proximately $45,000 was expended on deep tunnels and shafts. The length of main tunnel is 3500 feet; length of chemistry branch tunnel 1,000 feet; size of deep tun- nels 6'-6" wide by 7'-6" high. Sub-sur- face tunnels vary from 5 feet wide by 6' -6" high to 6'-6" square. The sub-surface tunnels are built of concrete reinforced with steel. The deep tunnels are approximately 100 feet below surface of campus and are ex- cavated in the sand rock of the St. Peter formation. There are seven shafts approx- imately 4 feet in diameter, extending from the surface of the campus to the deep tun- nel 100 feet below; the shafts are located about the center of certain groups of build- ings which they serve. The mechanical equipment consists of six 350 H. P. water tube boilers arranged in three batteries of 700 II. P. each. The boilers have been designed to carry 175 pounds working pressure which will make them available for power purposes in the future, if this be desired. For the present, the pressure carried is only 85 pounds and the steam at this pressure is carried thru mains to the various shafts and to the sev- eral buildings on the campus. The press- ure is reduced at the buildings to one or more pounds, as required to circulate the steam in the respective buildings. The largest pipe used in the system is 14" in diameter. A system of return mains is employed by which all of the water of condensation is returned to a 7,000 H. P. feed water heater, placed in the power plant. The returns are pumped from the feed water heater to the boilers and a lit- tle make-up water is used to compensate for leakage. A recording measuring tank capable of measuring 300,000 pounds of water in 24 hours is also installed in the heating plant, and all of the water is measured on its wav to the boilers. The coal is delivered on a side track built by the University and the cars are emptied into a coal hopper whence the coal passes thru a crusher and is delivered on to a rubber belt which carries the coal into the boiler house and delivers same to the coal bunkers located above the boil- ers. The bunkers have a total capacity of 800 tons. The coal is fed from the bunk- ers into an automatic weighing coal hop- per which permits the amount of coal fed to each boiler to be determined accurately. The boilers are all furnished with auto- matic chain grate stokers, which can be regulated as the demands require. An additional coal storage space is pro- vided outside of the boiler house which has a capacity at the present time of 2500 tons. Still additional storage space is provided on the level above the power plant which v\ ill take care of 8,000 tons more. A reinforced concrete stack serves all of the boilers and is designed for a total capacity of 4,500 H. P. The stack is iij^ feet inside diameter at top and has a total height of 234 feet. The plans contem- plate an additional stack of the same di- mensions to be built when the demands shall require it; it is also intended to in- stall ten additional boilers of the same size as those now in place. Thus the com- pleted plant will have a nominal capacity of 5,600 H. P. and an overload capacity of about 9,000 H. P. There are a number of features which will be added to the heating plant when funds become available, so that when the equipment is all installed it is expected that the University heating plant will be the best of its kind in the Northwest. The deep tunnels and shafts were de- signed and constructed under the supervi- sion of Dean Shenehon, of the college of engineering; the rest of the work was done under the direction of Professor Flather of the mechanical engineering department.

The concerts were arranged b}- Professor Harlow Gale, who, on each Friday afternoon, preceding the concerts, gave a lecture on the psychology of music. The lectures were partly his- torical and biographical, and, in addition, a demonstration of the anatomy and physiol- ogy of hearing, an outline of the psychol- ogy of music and some experimental and statistical work in rhj^thm, melody, and harmony. Chancellor. This office was provided for under the organization of 1851 to March 4, 1864. Rev. Edward D. Neill, the only person holding this office, was appointed in the fall of 1858 and resigned July, 1861. Chapel Exercises. From its very be- ginning down to igii, the University au- thorities conducted daily religious services. In the early da3-s attendance was required, but since about 1885 attendance has been voluntarj-. The exercises have always con- sisted of a short scriptural selection and prayer. University notices are given at these exercises and frequently prominent men and women talk to the assembled stu- dents. Naturally the attendance is largely from the so-called academic department of the University, but on special occasions students from all departments fill the chapel to overflowing. Since 191 1 chapel exercises have been held every other day — Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with some special feature for each da3\ These special features include addresses, musical programs, mass meetings, etc. Chaplain for University Work of the Episcopal Church. Episcopalians main- tain a University House and a Chaplain. The Rev.

Chemical Laboratory Building. This building was erected in 1890, for the use of the department of chemistry and phys- ics, and was remodelled in 1902, when the department of physics vacated the build- ing. The first cost of the building was $81,500; the cost of remodelling was $8,000, making the total cost practically $90,000. The building has a frontage of 190 feet and provides for the department of chemistry,' with its various laboratories, lecture rooms, amphitheatre seating 345 students, offices, seminar room and class rooms, storage and preparation rooms, dark rooms, etc. It is constructed of a romanesque brick of light reddish yellow tint with iron spots. L. S. Buffington was the architect. The legislature of 1913 appropriated $17,500 to remodel this building for the use of the Minnesota Union. Chernistry Museum. A cabinet of speci- mens illustrating the products and pro- cesses of Applied Chemistry is being col- lected by the Professors of Chemistry, as opportunity offers. The collection em- braces fuel, ores, furnace products, textile materials, both raw and manufactured, dye- woods and other materials used in dyeing; specimens illustrating the bleaching and printing of cotton, linen, and woolen goods, earthenware, pottery, etc. Chemistry, The School of. This school did not exist, as an independent organiza- tion until 1903. Prior to that time it ex- isted as an attachment to some other col- lege. Provision was originally made for instruction in a complete course, in 1891, when the college of engineering was re- organized and made the college of engi- neering, metallurgy and the mechanic arts. In the course of study, as then established, there was a full four-year course in chem- istry but it was not until the following year that the first student elected this course. When the re-organization of 1896 took place, the school of chemistry was es- tablished as the school of technical and applied chemistry and was made a sub- sidiary organization in the college of science, literature and the arts. It existed in this way until 1903 when it was made a separate organization, with its own fac- ulty and dean and independent in the gov- ernment of its internal affairs. George B. 40 THE MINNESOTA Frankforter, Ph.D., professor of chemistry, was made dean. The school of chemistry, as it is now known, ofTers three courses of study. A four-year course in analytical chemistry, leading to the degree of bach- elor of science, in chemistry; a five-year course in arts and chemistry leading to the degree bachelor of arts at the end of the fourth year and the degree bachelor of science, in chemistry, at the end of the fifth year; a third five-year course in ap- plied chemistry leads to the degree bach- elor of science at the end of the fourth year and chemical engineer at the end of the fifth year. The school has an enroll- ment of io8 and a faculty which includes forty-six professors and assistant profes- sors and twenty-five instructors. Cheney, L.

Chi Rho Theta fraternity was organized December 5, 1905, as the Bishop Gilbert Society. It has a membership of thirty. Its purposes are religious, scholastic and social. Its field of activity is among the Episcopal men of the University. It en- deavors to develop them spiritually, schol- astically and incidentally provides a few social affairs for them. The society was reorganized May 28, 1912, as the Bishop Gilbert Chapter of Chi Rho Theta frater- nity. It purposes to establish a national organization in the various universities and colleges of the country. Choral Union, A musical organization which was founded in 1893 by Fraulein Schoen-Rene.

Dur- ing the year 1894-95, chamber music con- certs were provided, under the direction of Professor Gale. November 29, 1895, the choral union gave a concert at the old exposition building at which Melba, and other world-famous artists appeared. On December 14, 1896, at the Lyceum and the next evening at the Peoples' Church, in St. Paul, the union gave concerts, at which Madame Lillian Nordica-Doehme and Charles Gregorowitsch appeared on the program.

Cooke, director of the gj'mnasium and were staged in the University Armory. They were all very successful, from the point of view of arousing interest and fur- nishing a satisfactory spectacle; finan- cially they broke about even. The Minne- sota Daily of those years will give full in- formation as to details. The Circus of 1913 was given by the Minnesota Union and was an All-Univer- ALUMNI WEEKLY 41 sity affair. Dr. Louis J. Cooke, the direc- tor and moving spirit was assisted by E. B.

Conditions at the University. W. F. Web- ster, 1886, principal of the east high school of Minneapolis read a paper before the Six O'clock Club of the city in the early spring of 1906. This paper was repeated, by spec- ial request, in the University chapel, later in the spring. It was reprinted in the Min- nesota Alumni Weekly of May 21 of that year. This address was one of the fac- tors responsible for the strenuous cam- paign for an increase of salaries of Uni- versity professors, which was made by the alumni in 1907. Congressional Land Grants. In his sec- ond message to the legislature, in 1851, Governor Ramsey recommended the estab- lishment of a University and added — "As an endowment of a University will also naturally, in this connection, attract your attention, it might be proper to further memorialize Congress for a grant of 100, 000 acres of land, applicable and available at a future day, for this most desirable ob- ject. The propriety of urging, at this time, the request, arises from the importance of making early selection, with a view to se- curing a fair proportion of choice lands." This memorial was passed on the loth of February and Congress passed an act upon the 19th of the same month, reserving two townships for this purpose. The title to this land did not vest in the state until the act of March 2, 1861, donated what had previously been reserved for this purpose. The University received from this grant, 45,257. -^9 acres of land. Of this amount 15.410.85 acres were sold by the regents, under authority of the acts of 1862, 1864 and 1866, to pay the debts of the terri- torial institution. So this grant netted the University 29,796.54 acres. The second grant, by act of Congress approved July 2d, 1862, gave the state 120,000 acres for the endowment and support of an agricul- tural college, including instruction in me- chanic arts and military science. An act of the Legislature of Minnesota, passed March 10, 1858, set aside lands in McLeod county for a site for an agricul- tural college and for an experimental farm. This institution was to be under the control of the president and executive committee of the state agricultural society. In 1861 the state donated to this college all the swamp lands of McLeod county. Nothing was ever done toward organizing a college at this place. The congressional grant of 1863 was accepted and the lands located and, because the affairs of the Uni- versity were in such unsettled condition, these lands were inade over to the agri- cultural college at Glencoe, in 1866. The following year, the special board of three made a report showing a wiping out of the debt of the University and 32,000 acres of the territorial grant still • tmtouched. Through the good offices of Regent Pills- bury, then senator, the two grants were consolidated and given to the University. It was provided that the swamp lands granted to the McLeod institution, which amounted to 4,684 acres, should remain in the possession of that institution as an endowment of Stevens Seminary. By virtue of the act of February i8th, 1868, the act reorganizing the University and under which, with some amendments the University now exists, these lands were made over to the University. These lands were chosen and certified to the University as follows: 68,928.08 acres at the minimum or single value, mentioned in the act, and 25,51 1.20, at double the minimum value, counting as 51,022.40 acres, makinpr the total 119,950.48 acres, under the terms of the grants. The actual number of acres received being 94,439.28. The third grant, ibeing really the second grant in point of time of the act of Con- gress making the same, was that provided for in the enabling act authorizing the people of the territory to set up a state government, passed February 26th, 1857, which granted two townships for the en- dowment of a state university. So far as appears no effort was made to secure for the University the land it was entitled to under this act, until the Reverend E. D. Neill, who was at that time chancellor of the University, brought the matter to the attention of Governor Ram- sey and in a communication dated April 5th, i860, set forth his views concerning the right of the University to "/^ sections of land under the Enabling Act. Governor Ramsey took up this matter before the commissioners of the general land office who ruled against the University. Here the matter rested until the special board of three regents was created by the act of 1864. This board immediately took ac- tion to secure the rights of the University under this act and at their request Gov- ernor Miller filed notice of the selection of ALUMNI WEEKLY 45 a portion of said grant in the propcr_ office in Taylor's Falls in February, 1864, in or- der to test the validity of the claim of the University to these -ji sections of land. The commissioner of the general land of- fice rendered an adverse decision. The regents appealed from the decision of the commissioner to the secretary of the in- terior and Governor Marshall volunteered to bring the claim of the University before the secretary and made a visit to Wash- ington for the purpose. No decision was reached at that time and it was recom- mended that the regents employ an attor- ney to prosecute the claim of the Univer- sity before the department. Under au- thority of an act passed February i8th, 1867. the regents employed Mr. H. B. Beard to conduct the case on a contingent fee of three sections (1914 acres) of land to be se- lected by him. The secretary was finally persuaded that the claim of the University was just but did not feel warranted in re- versing the decision of the former officer of the department and recommended a bill be introduced into congress allowing the University the "^2 sections of land. Through the influence of Mr. Beard and the Hon. Eugene ]M. Wilson, representative in con- gress, and Hon. Alexander Ramsey, in the senate, this bill finally became a law July 8th. 1870, and these lands were made avail- able for the endowment of the University. A question was raised as to the right of the regents to employ the methods they did to secure this grant of land from the government, especially involving the agree- ment with Mr. Beard. This matter was held open for six years and was finally settled by an act of the legislature Feb- ruary 17th, 1876, "legalizing a deed made by the University of Minnesota to Henry B. Beard as compensation for his services as counsel in prosecuting the claim of the state for 'j2 sections of land for a state University." Afterward, there was another ruling of the interior department, in which it was held that since 9,764.60 acres of the terri- torial grant had not been selected and certified, until after the admission of the state into the Union, this amount should be charged against the second grant, re- ducing the number of acres available under that grant, to 37,079.24. This ruling was later overruled, and the University finally received 46,317.6 acres. Owing probably to the fact that the rec- ords of the early days were not kept with sufficient exactness, many pieces of land chosen by the regents were afterwards en- tered by settlers and the settlers were given the preference in the matter and the re- gents were afterwards allowed to select other lands to replace those lost in this way. Many thousands of acres of land had to be thus duplicated. 1st Territorial 45,257.39 2nd Agricultural 94,439.28 3rd State enabling act 46,317.60 Total lands granted . 186,014.27 Sales — .\gric. lands, all 94.439.28 Other grants 72,748.92 Unsold, 1913, 18,826.07 186,014.27 Sold to pay debts 15.410.85 To Beard for lobbying 1,914.00 17,324.85 Total for endowment 168,689.42 It is claimed by the University that there are still 635.01 acres due the institu- tion, under these grants, which have not been located. December 22nd. 1868, the Board of Re- gents reported 1,690 (1,689.69) acres unsold and all debts paid but the claim, mortgage, of Paul R. George, principal being $3,000 and interest long past due, on account of purchase of the original campus. The Board of Regents provided for by the act of reorganization of 1868, placed the settlement of the claim of Paul R. George in the hands of Governor Pillsbury. He had available to sell to pay this claim, 1,529.69 acres of land. In 1872 Governor Pillsbury acting for the regents, succeeded in making an arrange- ment with the estate of Paul R. George to satisfy the mortgage held bj' the estate up- on the original site of the University. The original mortgage made October 23, 1854 was for three thousand dollars in the form of three notes secured by a mort- gage, each note for one thousand dollars, one due in six months, one in twelve and one in eighteen months. The mortgage was finally satisfied May 3rd. 1872 and the satisfaction acknowledged the receipt of $5,627.02. The regents' record shows that Governor Pillsbury was authorized to set- tle this claim with the funds in his hands as chairman of the executive committee. At that time there were $528.42 (In this is included the proceeds of a later sale of 160 acres of land.) in the fund from the sale of lands authorized to be sold to pay the original indebtedness of the Uni- versity. The records do not show, so far as we have been able to determine, where the money came from with which Governor Pillsbury paid the estate of Paul R. George to get the satisfaction of the mortgage. The $528 was carried along in the Univer- sity accounts until 1886 when it was finally turned in to the agricultural account in order to close the account and the legis- lature of 1883 passed a law authorizing the regents to take out of the money to be raised from the sale of the old University farm not to exceed $2,000 to settle the balance due on the Paul R. George ac- count. The records show that $1,773.83 were paid in 1883 to close this account. The latest report of the State Auditor shows that the agricultural land grant has all been sold, netting the permanent en- dowment fund $570,747.50. The other grants have netted this fund $994,139.44, or together a total of $1,564,886.94. 46 THE MINNESOTA Constant, Frank Henry, born July 25, i86g, Cincin- nati, Ohio, educated in pub- lic schools, Woodward high school of Cincinnati; C.

County Agricultural Work. The county agricultural work in Minnesota was started in November 1912. The state and federal governments and the Council of Grain Ex- changes co-operate in this work. The plan is to have a practical agriculturist located in each county in the State to assist in general work in farm management and the supervision of all lines pertaining to agri- culture in the county. The work is under the direction of the University. The coun- ty agricultural agent assists the Farmers' clubs in securing pure seed grains, good live stock and encourages the growing of clover and alfalfa where practicable. As- sists in planning farmsteads and buildings, orchards, windbreaks, crop rotations, buy- ing and selling associations and in a gen- eral way makes himself useful to the farm- ers in the various ways in which such an expert can be useful. County Fair Extension Work. In the fall of 191 1 demonstration tents were sent to fifteen county fairs by the agricultural department. These fairs are becoming more and more an educational influence in the state. The judging of exhibits is an- other form of service which the extension department is increasingly called upon to provide. ALUMNI WEEKLY 47 Covell, Grant A.

Its membership includes a cap- tain, sixteen men and one or more substi- tutes, all active members of the cadet corps. Its purpose it to promote a military spirit in the cadet corps and the presenta- tion from time to time of an exhibition drill, showing the results of faithful prac- tice, concentrated attention and united ac- tion. The squad gives two informal dances each year. It gives exhibition drills at the Military ball, on government inspection day. and on other occasions when called for. The squad of 1912-13 filled a week's engagement at the Minnesota State Fair. Membership in the squad is highly prized, not only on account of the military train- ing it affords, but also for the good fellow- ship that exists between the members of the squad and alumni members. An annual picnic for active and alumni members is held near the close of each college year. Crafts, Lettie May, born Minneapolis. Educated in public schools; B.

Cuzner, Edwin Anthony, was born in Somersetshire, England, in the village of Beckington, where Thomas a'Becket is supposed to be buried, whence is derived its name, April 12th, 1850. His whole life, until he came to the University was spent in the nurser}' and seed business founded by his mother's family in 1750. The house of Bourne & Sons continued in business until just a few years ago, having been continu- ously in the same line of business for more than a century and a half. Mr. Cuzner came to the University in charge of the plant house, as superintendent, in 1883. Though he has been shifted about a num- ber of times in the years since that date, he has always been in charge of the plant house and was for a time superin- tendent of grounds as well. At the pres- ent time he is superintendent of the plant houses and devotes his whole life to the care of the .plants. Outside the faculty he is the oldest University officer in point of service, and only two members of the fac- ulty antedate the years of his appointment.

Dean Comstock resigned in 1912 and her place was filled by the election of Dr. IMargaret Sweeney who entered upon her duties in the fall of the same year. The dean's office is in Alice Shevlin Hall. Debate. Debate has always been a prominent feature of the work of the liter- ary societies of the University. In the very beginning, when there were but the two literary societies, the Delta Sigma and the Hermean, these societies used to hold joint debates, sometimes as often as four times a year, while the weekly pro- grams of the societies provided, almost al- ways, for a debate. The first intercollegiate debate was held May 26, 1893, with the University of Iowa, in Minneapolis. Several debates were held with Iowa and Wisconsin, without any formal organizations of any kind to back the Minnesota teams, which teams were composed of volunteers who were willing to devote what little time used to be de- voted to the preparation for a debate. In 1896, the federated literary societies took up the subject and formed plans for the choosing of debaters to represent the Uni- versity. This rather loose form of organ- ization and supervision was kept up until 1898 when the University debating board was formed and plans made for sifting the material available for debate until the best material was secured to make up the teams to represent the University. See University Debating Board. Debates with Chicago. Minnesota has met Chicago in debate three times, as members of the Central debating league.

Minnesota defended the negative of the proposition, "Resolved, That the fed- eral government should have exclusive control of all corporations doing an inter- state business." Debates with Wisconsin -were held in 1909 and 191 1. See Central Debating Cir- cuit of America. Debate — Central Debating Circuit of America, The. In 1906, the universities of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska organized a debating league, the constitution of which provides that each university shall have two teams, one on the affirmative and one on the negative of the question which is to be the same for all the Universities in the league. The affirmative is always supported by the home team and the negative by the visit- ing team. On April 5th, 1907, Minnesota debated with Illinois at St. Paul, and Iowa at Iowa City. In December, 1907, Minne- sota met Wisconsin at Madison and Ne- braska at Minneapolis, in 1909 Illinois at Champaign and Iowa at Minneapolis; in 1910. Wisconsin at Minneapolis and Ne- braska at Lincoln. The result of the first series of debates was that Minnesota won from both her opponents. Iowa at Iowa City and Illinois in the House of Representatives, St. Paul. Wisconsin likewise won both her debates. Iowa and Nebaska lost both debates, while Illinois won one and lost one. The ques- tion discussed was ''Resolved. That the cities of the United States should seek the solution of the street railway problem through private ownership." The result of the second debate, held December 13th, 1907, was that the affirm- ative won in every case, each college in the league winning one and losing one. The question argued was, ''Resolved, That the Federal government should have abso- lute control of all corporations doing an interstate business, constitutionality grant- ed." In 1908 Minnesota lost both debates, to Iowa at Minneapolis and to Illinois at Ur- bana. The question discussed was, "Re- solved, That American cities should adopt the commission form of government." The team which met Iowa included Max Low- enthal, John F. Sinclair and Zenas Potter; The team which met Illinois was made up as follows: Charles Carlson, Norman Houck and John McKinnon. In 1909 Minnesota won both debates. The question discussed was, "Resolved, That a graduate income tax exempting in- comes of $5,000 or less would be a desir- able feature of the federal taxation sys- tem. Sigurd H. Peterson. C. E. Carlson and Lambert Prigge met Wisconsin in the University chapel and Charles Rodeen, Norman Houck and Fred Johnson met Ne- braska at Lincoln. In 1910 Minnesota again lost both de- bates, to Iowa at Iowa City and to Illinois in Minneapolis. The question discussed was, "Resolved, That the movement of organ- ized labor for the closed shop should re- ceive the support of public opinion." Hom- er Borst, Eloi Bauers and Theodore Thompson went against Illinois and Stan- ley Gillam, R. N. Olson and Henry Pad- dock met the Lowa team. The 191 1 teams were both successful in handling the question, "Resolved, That the United States should adopt a policy of shipping subsidies." Theodore Thompson, Edgar Zelle and Eloi Bauers met Wiscon- sin at Madison and Stanley Gillam, Theo- dore Utne and Matthias N. Olson met Ne- braska in the University chapel. Again in 1912 Minnesota won both de- bates, Illinois was defeated at home by Henry J. Burgstahler, O. B. Anderson and Raymond Ziesmer, while Iowa was de- feated in Minneapolis by Vernon E. Sten- erson, William W. Hodson and Donald L. Pomeroy. The question discussed was, "Resolved, That all corporations engaged in interstate commerce should be required to take out a federal charter, constitution- ality granted; provided that federal license shall not be available as an alternative plan."

The plans of su- pervising farms in various parts of the State with the idea of demonstrating meth- ods of practical value to that part of the State, was started in 1910. About 25 dem- onstration farms are being operated at the present time under the direction of three men. Each farm is visited at least twice each month and public demonstra- tions are given at convenient seasons. The work of the farm is done under the direc- tion of the visiting supervisor and careful record is kept of all operations, expenses, etc. These farms are always open to pub- lic inspection and at stated times the gen- eral public is invited to visit the farms. An adidtional feature in this work has been the maintenance of small demonstra- tion plots in co-operation with several farmers in various communities. This phase of the work is confined to the dem- onstration of specific problems such as the growing of alfalfa, or the killing of quack grass, or seed improvement, etc. Demonstration farms chart.

This building was completed in 1896 at an initial cost of $40,000, an addi- tion was made in 1898 and the building was remodeled in 1912, at an additional cost of $20,000; it represents a value of about $90,000, at the present time. It is constructed of light brick and covers 7.Sx 150 feet and is four stories high. Origin- ally the building was occupied by the med- ical sciences requiring the use of consider- able laboratory space, not including chem- istry; the building also housed the college of pharmacy in the south wing. The build- ing is well arranged and well lighted for laboratory work. The legislature of 1911 appropriated $20,000 to remodel this build- ing for the use of the college of dentistry. The fire in Millard hall hastened the work of remodeling and the college of dentistry took possession of the building in the fall of 1912, the college of pharmacy still using, temporarily, a portion of the south wing. With the opening of the year 1913-14, the college of dentistry is in exclusive posses- sion of the building which is wonderfully well suited to its use. Dentistry, The College of. In 1883, the board of directors of the old Minnesota Hospital College, backed by the newly or- ganized state dental association organized a course in dentistry of two years of five months each. This course was pursued in common with medical students and the clinical work required for a diploma was the treatment of two or more patients, one ALUMNI WEEKLY 55 plate, one thesis on an original subject and one mechanical specimen to be deposited in the museum. When the college of medicine and sur- gery was re-orgainzed in 1888 and the de- partment of medicine was established as a teaching instead of an examining institu- tion, provison was made for the establish- ment of the college of dentistry and a fa- culty was appointed with Dr. Charles M. Bailey, as secretatry, Dr. Millard being dean of the department. The work of the college was carried along for four years, in the old building at the corner of ninth avenue south and sixth street, since occu- pied by Asbury Hospital, and in 1892, the college came to the campus, with other colleges of the department and a re-organ- ization took place which gave the college larger freedom in the management of its own affairs, and Dr. W. Xavier Sudduth was elected dean,, which office he held until 1895, when he was succeeded by Dr. Thomas E. Weeks, who was dean until 1897. The deanship was dropped for a time and Dr. William E. Dickinson was made secretary, afterward, in 1899 being made acting dean; in 1900 he was made dean, continuing in that office until 1905. when Dr. Alfred Owre, of the class of 1894, was made dean, being the first alumnus of the University to be appointed to that office. The college was housed in Millard hall on the main campus from 1892 down to March ist, 1912, when Millard hall was destroyed by fire. It was accommodated for the balance of that year in the Labor- atory of Experimental Engineering and later was removed to the Medical Science Building on Pleasant Street. During the year 1912-1.'^ it occupied the major portion of this building, the college of Pharmacy retaining the rooms previously used by that department for the year. With the opening of the year 1913-14 the college occupies the whole of the building form- erly used by the laboratories of medical sciences. The building has been thoroughly remodeled for the use of the department and furnishes suitable and pleasant quar- ters for the college. This college course has always been a minimum of three years and the entrance requirement has been raised, at various times, so that now a full high school course is required, together with the dem- onstration of mechanical ability. In 1904 it was decided to make the course a four year course, and announcement was made of the plan. However, the plan was never put into operation and no class has ever been required to complete four years work for a diploma though students are strongly advised to pursue a year's preliminary work in the college of science, literature and the arts. The work of the first year is quite simi- lar to the work of the college of medicine and surgery,, the same subjects are pur- sued but less time is devoted to the same and the time so saved is devoted to sub- jects directly bearing upon the practice of dentistry. The work of the second and third years is devoted exclusively to sub- jects directly bearing upon dentistry. The tuition required in this college is a level fee of $iso a year. The degree granted is that of doctor of dental surger3^ though from 1893 to 1902, inclusive, the degree granted by this college was that of doctor of dental medicine. The college is a mem- ber of Dental Faculties Association of Am- erican Universities and its diploma is rec- ognized by the dental examining boards of every state in the union. The faculty in- cludes in addition to 27 members of other faculties who give instruction to students in this college, 6 professors, 9 assistant professors, 4 associate professors, 9 in- structors and assistants who give instruc- tion in dental subjects only. Three nurses are on duty in the infirmary at all times. The enrollment for 1912-13 was 254. The college year is co-incident with that of other departments of the University. The college has granted 715 degrees, 708 to men and 7 to women. 509 of these degrees were doctor of dental surgery and 206 doc- tor of dental medicine.

The policy of the Univer- sity has been not to provide dormitories for students, save for those attending the schools of agriculture, where conditions have made such a policy almost impera- tive. A departure from this policy was made when Sanford Hall, a dormitory ac- commodating ninety women was erected upon the University campus in 1910. Dorr Drinking Fountain, The.

An organization of students of the University who are in- terested in dramatic affairs and who have demonstrated dramatic ability. This or- ganization gives one, or more, plays an- nually, usually in some down-town theatre. The club has also taken short trips out into some of the larger cities of the state for the purpose of presenting plays which have been put on at home. Organized February 21, 1896. There seems to have been some sort of a dramatic organization in existence, as far back as the spring of 1892, but it is impossible to learn definite- ly about its doings. A play entitled "A Box of Monkeys" was given in chapel in the spring of 1892, and it was at this play that a fire was started which destroyed the top floor of the old main. No record can be found of anything between this date and the following: In 1896, soon after the organization of the club, David Garrick was given under the direction of Professors McDermott and McClumpha.

The first work in education as a part of the regular college course was offered in 1885-86, when Professor Harry P. Judson, now President of the University of Chicago delivered a course of lectures, one hour a week, to seniors in the third term. This course was continued until 1892, when a teachers' course, of two years, was estab- lished, upon the completion of which a University teachers' certificate was granted. For one year Dr. David L. Kiehle, then superintendent of public instruction con- ducted the course, and in the following year was appointed professor in charge. The two- year course was discontinued in 1899, and from that time on the University teachers' certificate was granted to graduates of the college of science, literature and the arts who had completed certain prescribed work in psychology and in the history, theory and practice of education. This certificate is a license to the holder to teach in any school of the state for two years without examination, and at the end of two years of successful experience may be endorsed and made permanent for this state. In 1902, Dr. Kiehle resigned from his work in the University, and Dr. George F. James was appointed in his place. In the three succeeding years the enrollment of students in this work increased from less than 100 to over 300. Additional courses were ofifered, the attendance in these in- dicating the need of larger opportunities at the University for the training of teach- ers. In response to the act of the Legis- lature in 1905 the college of education was authorized by the regents as a separate school. Dr. James was appointed dean and was directed to organize a course of study. The college offers a practical and theoretical training for high school teach- ers and principals, principals of elementary schools, supervisors of special studies and superintendents of school systems. Stu- dents are enrolled after two years of col- legiate work for a two-year and three-year course of study leading respectively to the degrees bachelor of arts in education and master of arts. The faculty includes now three professors, two assistant professors and five instructors in addition to fifteen or twenty professors from various faculties of the University, who are interested in one phase or another of teachers' train- ing. The first class was graduated in June 1907. The legislature of 1913 made provi- sion for the first separate building for the use of the college, when it appropriated $54,000 to repair and remodel the school of mines building for the use of this col- lege. Education in Minnesota. A book pub- lished by the H. W. Wilson Company, in 1903. This book which contains much valuable historical material, relating to the University as well as to education in Min- nesota in general, was written by Dr. David L. Kiehle, while professor of peda- gogy in the University. \'aluable to any- one interested in looking up the history of the University. It also contains a re- port upon the systematic study of and ar- rangement of the school laws and sources of school support in the state of Minne- sota.

Eighty-nine Memorial Prize in History, The. The class of 1889, at graduation, es- tablished a prize of $25, each year, to be known as the '89 Memorial Prize, and to be given for the best thesis upon a histor- ical topic to be assigned by the depart- ment. The award is made by a professor of history in some other institution. This prize has been awarded as follows: the records do not show an award for 1890 and 1891; in 1892, to J.

Electrical Engineering Building. This was constructed in 1900, at a cost of $20,- 000, with expectation that it would eventu- ally form one of the wings of a main engi- neering building to be later constructed. The building is of brick and slow burning construction. The main portion is 80x60 feet and two stories high. A wing, 70x90 feet, adjoining is used for the University lighting plant and for instruction in con- nection with the practical work of the course. The building contains a standard- izing laboratory, electro-chemical labora- torj', shop, battery room, stock and toilet rooms. On the first floor are the dynamo laboratorj', high tension laboratory, re- search laboratories, instrument rooms and ALUMNI WEEKLY 61 office. On the second floor are the labora- tories for photometry, photography, meter and lamp testing rooms and class, drawmg and library rooms and offices. In 1913, $18,000 were added to the equip- ment of this building and changes m the building itself, aggregating $2,000 were made. Eliot, Ruth, cataloger, 191 1 to 191 2. ^ ^^ Elliot, Adolphus F. and ^ Mary Ellen Hoar Elliot. Dr. Elliot left his estate to his wife, and she left prop- erty which netted the sum of $120,000. to Walter J. Trask, formerly of Minneapolis, but later of Los Angeles, Calif., an attorney, to be used to secure the erection of a building upon the University campus, as a memorial to her husband. Dr. Elliot. Mr. Trask, naturally decided that no other mem- orial could be so fitting to a physician as a hospital and so made a tender of the "a ''JW property to the board of G^ "^ regents of the University, V^- for that purpose. The re- ^ gents were willing to accept '^ - - but felt that they should not bind the state to support such an institu- tion, as they would virtually by accepting the gift outright, and so asked to be al- lowed to hold the same in abeyance until the legislature could be consulted. This the trustee, Mr. Trask, very readily agreed to and the legislature also authorized the acceptance of the gift. Dr. Elliot was formerly a_ practicing physician in Minneapolis and his wife, was formerly Miss Mary Ellen Hoar, a daugh- ter of Michael Hoar, employed on the Sibley estate at Weston, fifty years ago. On her mother's death she was cared for by Mrs. Richard Holbrook and assumed the name Holbrook. She and Dr. Elliot were married about 1895. Prior to her death, Mrs. Elliot gave the school of mines $5,000, the income of which is to be used to assist students needing financial aid to finish their courses in that school. Elliot Scholarship Loan Fund, The. To fulfill the wish of the late Dr. A. F. Elliot to aid young men who find their efforts to obtain a practical education embarrassed through lack of means, $5,000, the income from which amounts to $250 per year, was placed in the hands of the regents in 1902. to be used as a scholarship loan fund for assisting young men in the school of mines. The money was not formally turned over to the regents until 1905, be- ing held by Mrs. Elliot, only the income $250, being turned over. On the death of Mrs. Elliot the money was turned over to the board of regents and is now invested in N. P. gold 5 per cent bonds. The conditions of granting the scholar- ship loans are: the financial needs of the applicant, his scholarship, moral character. enthusiasm shown in his work and promise of usefulness in his profession. When money is available it may be loaned to pay expenses of worthy students during sickness. The loans are to be repaid, with- out interest, at the earliest convenience of the recipients. Elliot Hospital. Funds for the erection of this hospital were provided by the will of Mrs. Adolphus F. Elliot, who desired the net proceeds of the sale of certain property to be used to erect a memorial to her husband. The trustee, Mr. Walter J. Trask, asked that the money $113,000, which with interest amounted to $120,000, be used to erect a hospital; this was sup- plemented by a legislative appropriation of $40,000. The building was completed Aug- ust 191 1. It is a four story brick and stone structure and is fire proof. It con- tains 120 beds, as follows: 60 medicine, 40 surgery, 20 obstetrics. At the present time only internal medical, surgical and obstet- rical cases are admitted.

Engineering Museum. The College of Engineering has lequipment illustrating the historical development or evolution of many forms of machinery and apparatus in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. In its shops and electrical laboratory, mod- ern machinery and apparatus is used for actual operation in metal and wood work- ing, and in electrical tests and demonstra- tions. The new Experimental Laboratory is a large beautiful building devoted to tests of engines, boilers, pumps, the flow of water, the strength of cements and con- crete, and many other operations in experi- mentation and research. Engineering Shops. This building was erected in 1901, at a cost of $32,000. It was intended to be one wing of a main engineering building to be constructed lat- er. The building is about 60x164 feet and two stories high. It provides offices, class rooms, shops, laboratories, drawing rooms, library room, foundry, machine shops, for the department of mechanical engineering. In 1913 $10,000 of new machinery was added, bringing the equipment up-to-date and greatly increasing the efficiency of the work of the department. The building is of slow burning mill construction and the exterior is red Ijrick. Engineers Society, The.

ALUMNI WEEKLY 65 Experimental Engineering Building is lo- cated on the east margin of the engineer- ing- campus along Union street. The main room in the body of the building has inside dimensions of about 57x227 feet. It is all one large beautiful room reaching to the roof with overhead sky-lighting. The walls are of buff enameled brick. The cement floor is of Nile green. The main floor is of heavy reinforced concrete so designed that an engine may be placed anywhere without considering any further founda- tions or supports. A 10 ton crane travels the full length of the building. In the basement are rooms for the testing of road materials, cements and concretes, a fine wash room with shower baths, a locker room, store rooms, and research and thesis rooms.

The following year, January 4th, 1870, $122 were paid to Regent Merriman for money advanced by him to Baker on land purchase. The total amount of land pur- chased was one hundred forty-two (142) acres at a total cost of $6,414.96. $1,413.17 were spent for fencing, interest on money borrowed to make purchase, and to sundry other small bills. The balance $671.87 was applied on a note for $1,500 due B. F. Pills- bury, April 14th, 1884.

From this balcony floor, recitation and computing rooms open, and the museum of broken specimens, which is yet to be established. This building was completed and occupied in 1911 and cost $100,000.00. In exterior it is similar in every respect to the main engineering building. It is likewise fireproof through- out. Experimental Farm at St. Anthony Park. The act granting lands for the endowment of a college of agriculture provided that not to exceed ten per cent of the proceeds from the sale of lands granted might be used for the purchase of an experimental farrru Under the provisions of this act there were set aside $8,500 for the purchase of an experimental farm. The first pur- chase of land for this purpose was made September 29th, 1868 and the second Oc- tober 19th of the same year. Ninety-six acres were secured by these purchases and payments were made as follows: To E. L. Willis $2,419.00 To D. A. J. Baker 194-55 To H. H. Sibley 2,224.45 Total amount paid $4,838.00 The following year additional purchases were made and payments were made as follows: Prospect park, and was used as an experi- mental farm until 1882. With the appoint- ment of Professor Porter, in 1881, came a change. Professor Porter reported the farm as being of little value for experi- mental purposes, recommended the sale of this farm and the purchase of another bet- ter suited to the ends to be attained, ex- perimental demonstrations of practical methods of farming. Professor Porter fin- ally decided to recommend the purchase of two tracts of land, aggregating a trifle less than 250 acres. Upon recommendation of the Board of Regents, the legislature of 1881 gave its sanction to the sale of the farm mentioned above and to th€ purchase of another farm, better suited to the needs of an experi- mental farm, out of the proceeds of the sale. The first step was to secure an op- tion on a quarter section of land, N. W. 1-4, Sec. 21, T 29, R 23, less five acres, 155 acres net, for $200 an acre. The land be- longed to Captain E. W. Bass. The old University farm was platted into city lots and a maximum and minimum price fixed for each lot, and the whole put up at auction with the condition that if the minimum price was not bid, the lot would be withdrawn from sale. The first public sale took place October 11, 1882, in the Nicollet House lobby, and 152 lots and a 66 THE MINNESOTA Minneapolis Steel and Machinery Co.

There remained 164 lots. The sale was not completed in Oc- tober, partly for lack of time and partly because the title to some of the lots could not be perfected until the court had vacat- ed some portions of Baker's addition and the lots had been replatted to conform with the extension of University avenue and parallel streets. The second public auction sale was held at the same place, May 17th, 1883. The amount realized at this second sale, together with sul:)sequent sales, prior to Juljr 1901, was $122,690.42. Subsequent sales, up to July 31st, 1910, amounting to $10,528.66, brought the grand total from sale of lots on the old farm to $180,619.08. From this should properly l)e deducted $3,071.08, the amount received from sale of stock, stone and fire insurance on old farm building, making the net amount received from sale of lots alone, $177,548. The cost of making these sales, drawing papers, commissions, rent of lobby, auc- tioneer fees, and interest on money ad- vanced to make purchase, amounted to In 1905 the legislature made provision for the purchase of additional land and the following year twenty acres were purchas- ed, $8,210.69 were taken from the proceeds of sale of the old farm and the balance, $11,789.31, came out of the $60,000 appro- priated to complete the main building and purchase additional land. The legislature of 1907 appropriated ^76,- 000 for the purchase of 149 acres of land to be added to the experimental farm. The purchase was made and a balance of $3,- 238.67 remains to the credit of the Univer- sity. The farm now consists of 418 545- 1000 acres of land.

Extempo Oratorical and Story Contest. March 15th, 1901, a contest was held with the University of Nebraska in which the representatives of both institutions were obliged to speak extemporaneously upon a sub-topic, chosen by chance, at the opening of the contest from a number of such topics related to two general topics pre- viously announced. In this contest G. L. Caldwell, Minnesota's representative won. The contest was held at Minneapolis. Ne- braska won the story contest. Extension Debates. In the spring of 1913 six men and two alternates were chos- en to represent the University in debate in the University weeks program. These men were prepared to debate either "wo- man suffrage" or socialism," just as re- quested by the audience at the time of the debate. Faculty Dining Club. Organized in 1906 and in existence until 1911. This organ- ization was very informal, all male mem- bers of the faculty being eligible. The club met once a month, usually at Don- aldson's tea rooms, to dine together and discuss in a more or less informal way problems connected with the life and ac- tivities of the University. Faculty Publications. A faculty commit- tee headed by Dr. J. B. Johnston has pre- pared for publication a complete bibli- ography of faculty publications to the end of 1912 or to the date when connection with the University ended. The list is printed in two sections. The first con- tains research papers and text books of University grade. The second section con- tains literary, educational and miscellan- eous contributions of general interest or permanent value. Secondary text books are included in this section. In the pro- fessional schools technical papers, unless they contain research work, have been omitted. Had these been included the size of the publication would have been doubted. Published by the University. Failure of freshmen, causes of. Profes- sor J. B. Miner made a study of the cases coming before the committee on students' work for a year and wrote an article em- bodying the results of his study which ap- peared in the Minnesota Alumni Weekly of November 8, 1909. Farley, F. A. Instructor in animal hus- bandry, school of agriculture, 1906-07. Farmers' Club of Minnesota. An organ- ization composed of students and ex-stu- dents and members of the faculty of the school of agriculture. Any one who has ever registered as a student in the _ reg- ular, dairy or short course or who is or has been a teacher in the school of agri- culture, is eligible to membership. The objects of the association are to foster and strengthen the ties between the school and its former students and to extend the work of the school and experiment station among the farmers of the state. To this end the members of the State club have formed county clubs which hold annual meetings for the benefit of the farmers of the community. To quote from the an- nual address of its president: "The school of agriculture is an institution of the farm- ers, for the farmers, and supported in a large measure by them, and each student of the school should use his knowledge to better the conditions about him. The state has invested from one to several hun- dred dollars in his education and expects to realize on that investment by the know- ledge which he will distribute." Farm House. This building was erect- ed in 1884 at a cost of $25,000, the money being provided from the profits on the sale of the first University farm. It is a frame structure 38 x 70 feet, and pro- vides accommodations for the farm help, rooms, and boarding house. Farmers' Institutes, The. These institutes, or rather the system under which these institutes are provided, is a direct product of the Uni- versity. In the early eighties, when the University was making the most strenuous efiforts to get the farmers to send their children to the University to be educated in agriculture and to become farm- ers, and when the feeling against the Univer- sity ran high and every session of the leg- islature saw determined efiforts to divide the University and make the department of agriculture an independent institution, someone conceived th>e brilliant idea of taking education to the farmer. President Northrop became convinced of the neces- sity of doing this and looked around for the proper man. F. Amos Johnson, then registrar, suggested the name of O. C. Gregg, of Lynd and he was sent for. After a short talk with President Northrop, the President was convinced that he had found the right man and sent him to Governor Pillsbury, the president of the board of regents. Governor Pillsbury, became an enthusiastic convert to the new plan and the man who proposed it and volunteered to provide the expenses of the work, if Mr. Gregg would take hold of it. The first ofificial action taken by the board of regents was February loth, when the board auth- orized Professor Porter to employ Mr. Gregg in institute work and ordering a dis- continuance of the farmers' lecture course. ALUMNI WEEKLY 69 Mr. Gregg began his work in the spring of 1886 and continued the work, under the direction of the board of regents until July 31st, 1887. In November 1886, the board of regents appointed a committee to wait upon Gov- ernors Hubbard and McGill to urge an ap- propriation of $5,000 for institute work. The committee was instructed to do all in its power to secure the appropriation. The legislature of 1887 made an appropriation of $7,500, 50 per cent more than was first asked, for the purpose, and the administra- tion of the work was entrusted to a spec- ial board created by the same act. Mr. O. C. Gregg, was chosen superin- tendent, in April 1887, and has held that position for twenty years. The board of regents have always been represented, of- ficially, on the board of managers of these institutes, and at the present time it is rep- resented by three members, the other three members being the presidents of the state societies of agriculture, and horticulture and the state dairy association. The appropri- ation has increased to $12,500 annually. The school of agriculture was a direct out- growth of the field work of the farmers' institutes. The organization of the insti- tutes under University supervision is un- doubtedly responsible for the fact that the University has been kept intact and its ag- ricultural department an integral part of the University. Farm Machinery Building. This building was erected in 1904, at a cost of $5,000. Farmers' Short Course. This course was first offered in 1901-02. It is a special course provided for farmers and farmers' wives, and is given during the month of January. Practical courses in improved methods of farming and instruction in various lines, of special interest and value to men and women who operate and live on farms, is offered. Instruction is given by means of lectures, demonstrations and practice work. 1,333 persons have com- pleted such courses, up to and including the year 1912. A similar course is offered at the Northwest school of agriculture at Crookston. Farm Students' Review. See Minnesota Farm Review. Farr, R.

The purpose of this federation of literary societies of the University is the promotion of general lit- erary and oratorical work in the Univer- sity. Organized in 1896. This federation holds four meetings each year at which programs are given by members of the various societies composing the federation. Societies represented are the Forum, Shakopean, Castalian, Minerva and Arena. This federation is now known as the Min- nesota literary union. Feeding Dairy Cows. A bulletin issued by the agricultural department embodying the results of years of experimental work by Professor T. L. Haecker of the depart- ment of dairy husbandry and animal nutri- tion.

The University has had twenty- two fires during the forty-three years of its existence. On December 3d, 1888, the Agricultural College building, situated where the Chemistry building now stands, was burned. It contained the plant house and the chemical laboratory. The loss was complete. The insurance received was $5,087. On October 5th, 1890, the Station build- ing at the University Farm was totally de- stroyed by fire. The insurance received was $10,000. Pillsbury Hall suffered by fire December 3d, 1889. The insurance received, $10,355.50, covered the loss. The Old Main building was partially burned twice and was finally destroyed September 24th, 1904. The first fire oc- curred January 3, 1890. The loss was cov- ered by insurance amounting to $5,587.06. The second fire was that of April 30, 1892, the evening when the play "A Box of Monkeys" was given in the chapel. The loss was fully covered by insurance and was $6,423.99 on building and $2,887.90 on contents. When the last fire occurred, which totally destroyed the building, there was $58,000 insurance collected on the building and $5,000 on the contents. The Coliseum was totally destroyed by fire on the evening of July 24, 1894. The insurance received was $19,000. A fire in the Mechanic Arts building on January 13, 1895, resulted in a loss on the building of $806 and on the contents of $1,662.32, which sums were collected from the insurance companies. A second fire occurred in this building, October 29, 1904; the loss on the building was $1,285.46, and on the contents $3,646.30, both of which were fully covered by insurance. The Laboratory of Medical Chemistry suffered by fire, February 23, 1901. The loss on the building- of $2,571.71 and on the contents of $1,664.11 was paid by the insurance companies. The Main Medical building, now Millard Hall, had a small fire July 22d, 1905. The 70 THE MINNESOTA insurance received on the building was $3,540.22 and on the contents was $1,083.45. The Anatomical building was partially burned, January 29, 1902. The loss, fully covered by insurance, was $5,006.73 on the building and $2,564.70 on the contents. The Ore Testing building was injured by a fire on August 29, 1902. Insurance re- ceived on building was $4,112.33, on the contents $2,300. July 25, 1905, the Anatomical building suffered a second time from fire. The loss of $881.84 on the building and $1,225.56 on contents, was made good by the insurance companies. The Physical Laboratory had a small fire resulting in a loss of $50, in June, 1898. The loss was paid. The Main Medical building suffered from fire on January 31, 1909. Insurance col- lected was $3,774.96 on the building; on contents, $217.00. On October 20, 1909. the Anatomical building had its third fire, resulting in a loss of $8,167.00 on building, and $$3,500 on contents — the amount agreed upon by the adjustors — and paid. On December 24, T909, a fire in Millard Hall damaged the building to the amount of $20,830 and $9,755-27 on the contents. These were the sums agreed to by the adjusters and formed the basis of settle- ment. On January ist, 1912, a fire caught in one of the partitions of the Boiler house and damaged the building and contents to the amount of $1069.08 — the amount paid by the insurance companies. On February 14. 1913, the school of mines building was burned. The contents were totally destroyed; the walls were left in fairly good condition and will be used again when the building will be remodeled for the college of education. The insur- ance collected on the building was $26,936 and on contents was $13,441.83. On March ist, 1912, Millard Hall was, for a second time, seriously injured by a fire which came near making a complete wreck of the building. Portions of the wall were, however, saved. The insurance col- lected on the building was $30,000 and on contents $13,000 — the full amount for which the building was insured. In March, 1912, a fire was discovered in the laboratory of the attic of the medical science building. The damage which was principally on the contents was estimated at $2,681.47, which was the amount received from the insurance companies. Originally, all money collected from in- surance was used by the regents to replace the loss occasioned by fire. Later, when the Coliseum burned, the state auditor ruled that money collected on buildings burned, when the loss was complete, must go into the general revenue fund of the state and must be appropriated to the in- stitution by the legislature. This rule has not always been followed strictly, but it has been the rule, and the latest case in point is the appropriation of the $58,000 insurance collected on the old main toward the erection of Folwell hall.

First Building. What was known as the "academy building" was erected in 1851, at a cost of approximately $2,500, by pub- lic subscription. The building had two stories with high basement and stood 30x50 feet on the ground. The building was erected on ground donated by Franklin Steele, "being that part of the green set apart for public purposes, together with six lots in the rear." This amounted to about four acres and was located some- where between what is now known as Central and First avenues and University avenue and Second street southeast. This land was never formally transferred to the University and was finally quit-claimed by the board of regents in 1862 to the St. Anthony water power company, in con- sideration of the surrender by the said company of certain notes of the board of regents held by it. These notes, with in- terest amounted to $4,387.50. The build- ing was sold to Franklin Steele, who paid for the same by assuming the amount of the indebtedness of the University to Paul R. George, incurred by the purchase of the new (part of the present) campus. The building practically passed out of the hands of the regents May 28th, 1856. It was fin- ally burned in November 1864. Picture of this building may be found in Bromley's Minneapolis Album and in Forty years of the L^niversity of Minnesota. First Faculty. Appointed August 23d, 1869.

The figures in relief THE MINNESOTA 71 in the spandrels of the arches in the upper rotunda of the Library building were de- signed and executed by Jacob Fjelde, a Norwegian sculptor of distinguished abil- ity, whose home was for some years in Minneapolis, and who died in 1896, not long after the work in the Library was completed. Mr. Fjelde's work was of so high a character that it should have com- manded large financial rewards. Had it done so, the University might not have been fortunate enough to have secured the fine examples of his work represented in the rotunda series. For the twenty- four figures but $25 each was paid. They are easily worth many times that amount. Beginning at the left of the stairs as one ascends, the figures represent: I. Architecture; 2. Sculpture; 3, Tragedy; 4, Comedy; 5, Archaeology; 6, Ethnology; 7, Medicine; 8, Justice; 9, Microscopy; 10, Astronomy; 11, Philosophy; 12, Folk Lore; 13, Poetry; 14, History; 15, Literature; 16, Research; 17, Harvest; 18, Botany; 19, Civil Engineering; 20, The Artisan; 21, Electricity; 22, Geology; 23, Painting; 24, Music.

Lewis Schwager, '95, Law, '96. and Walter Nettleton, ex-'oo, of Seat- tle, Washington. The pole is six inches in diameter at the top and slightly over two feet at the base and stands one hundred fifty feet clear of the ground. The pole had to be shipped in two pieces and splic- ing it caused a loss of six or eight feet. The pole is set in a bed of solid concrete extending twelve feet below the surface.

Webster, '86, at the annual meeting of the General Alumni Associa- tion held February 14, 1913, Dr. Folwell's 8oth birthday. Printed in the Minnesota Alumni Weekly of February 17, 1913. Folwell Birthday Celebration. The alumni made February 14, 191 1, Dr. Folwell's sev- enty-eighth birthday, an occasion for a special celebration. Dr. Folwell, who was spending the winter in Washington, was guest of honor of the Washington alurnni for that evening and was presented with an engrossed address from the General Alumni Association and five hundred let- ters from as many alumni, congratulating him upon his birthday and recalling some happy incident of the writer's relations with Dr. Folwell and wishing him many happy returns of the day. In addition the class of 1907 presented Dr. Folwell a bronze medallion on that occasion and both houses of the legislature passed reso- lutions congratulating Dr. Folwell and ex- tending an expression of good will on be- half of the people of the state. Announce- ment was also made at this meeting of the plan to place a tablet in honor of Dr. Fol- well in Folwell hall. Later, the letters 72 ALUMNI WEEKLY were bound in a specially designed cover let which accompanies this item will give for better preservation. For a full report a better idea of the tablet than any de- of this occasion see the Minnesota Alumni Weekly of February 20, 191 1. Folwell Hall. Named in honor of Dr. William Watts Folwell, first president of the University. The legislature of 1905 made an appropriation of $350,000 for the erection of this building. It was also agreed that the insurance received from the "old main" should be used to help erect and equip this building. This action added $65,000 making the amount available $415,000. The building faces University avenue and stands back about forty feet from the sidewalk, extending from 15th to 16th. avenues. The building is fire-proof throughout and is constructed of brick, terra cotta made in imitation of granite, with cut granite used for foundation and basement. Concrete is used for floors and some walls, and tiling for the balance of the walls. The wood work is oak, stained dark and the furniture is mission style throughout. The hall of the main floor is lined throughout with a very fine grade of marble. The building is 322x80 feet and provides about 90,000 square feet of floor space. It has three stories above the basement and provides for the depart- ments of anatomy, French, German, Greek, Latin, mathematics, oratory, philosophy, philology, rhetoric, Scandinavian, sociol- ogy, Spanish. In addition to the full equipment of classrooms, offices, studies, seminars, museums, etc. for the depart- ments above mentioned, the building con- tains the office of the deans of the col- lege of science, literature and the arts, and the college of education; offices for the various University publications; for the literary societies; study rooms for men and women; a faculty parlor; janitors' rooms, toilet rooms, work rooms, etc. Work on basement was begun in the fall of 1905 and the building was completed and occu- pied in September, 1907. Folwell Tablet. The tablet placed in Folwell Hall by the General Alumni Asso- ciation of the University was dedicated June 7, 1911. The tablet is of bronze and was manufactured by the American Orna- mental Iron and Bronze Co., after a de- sign suggested by the officers of the Gen- eral Alumni Association. The bas-relief of Dr. Folwell which appears in the upper part of the tablet was made by Charles S. Wells of this city. The cut of the tab- scription.

This publication was issued during the fall of 1899, the first issue com- ing out October 17, the last issue being that of November 24th. It was started for the express purpose of arousing interest in football and to support the team.

Forensic Recognition. In 1913, the Uni- versity instituted a new plan of recogni- tion of specially meritorious work in the line of debate and oratory. The recognition takes the form of a framed certificate printed on parchment. The certificate reads as follows: "The University of Min- nesota awards this certificate to (name) in recognition of his (her) service as a representative of the University in inter- collegiate debate (or oratory).

This farm was purchased by the regents July 20, 1907, pursuant to the provisions of chapter 334 of the laws of 1907. The farm was pur- chased of Daniel Fink for $105 per acre, there being 77.89 acres, the purchase price was $8,178.45. The land lies in section 7, of township 116, range 23 West (Carver county). This station was established for the ex- press purpose of breeding hardy fruit trees for Minnesota. Some 15,000 plum and apple seedlings have been transferred from the main station to this station. Thousands of crosses have been made under glass and their seedlings planted in the field, prom- ising results having been secured. Thou- sands of seedling strawberries, raspber- ries and grapes have fruited; among these seedling grapes is one that is said to be hardier and of better quality than Beta. These seedlings will be available for the people of the state as soon as they demon- strate their superior value. Fry, Susannah, born in Ohio. Ohio Wes- leyan universit}^ 1878; Syracuse, 1881.

Movement started at commencement time in 1900. Constitution adopted January 30th, 1904. Membership composed of graduates of all departments of the University. Any ma- 78 ALUMNI WEEKLY triculate of the University, who has not graduated is entitled to associate member- ship, and any member, or ex-member, of the teaching or governing staff of the Uni- versity is entitled to honorary membership in this association. Life membership fee is $10. Annual dues for those not life members, 50 cents. The object of this as- sociation is the promotion of the welfare of the University in any way possible and to keep the alumni in touch with their alma mater and with each other through the of- ficial organ of the association, the Minne- sota Alumni Weekly; the furnishing of such specific information as may be sought by any graduate or former matriculate of the University, in connection with the Uni- versity or any of its organizations; the disbursing of contributions made for spe- cific objects connected with the University; and the maintenance of a list of the names and addresses of all graduates and former matriculates of the University. The af- fairs of the association are managed by a board of directors, made up of two repre- sentatives elected from each college alumni by making it a center whence should rad- iate information concerning the natural features of the state, and toward which should gravitate all collections of natural history that should otherwise be brought to light." The act creating this survey was approved March ist, 1872. and carried an appropriation of $1,000 annually for the prosecution of the work of the survey. On the lOth of the following March, 1873, an act amending the act creating the survey was passed. This act increased the an- nual appropriation to $2,000 and gave the regents custody and control, and power to sell certain lands granted to the state of Minnesota by the national government to aid in developing the brines of the state. See "Salt spring lands." This act also appropriated $500 for the purchase of apparatus to equip a laboratory for the survey. The regents have received cash appropriations from the state, for prose- cuting the work of the survey to the amount of $50,000. The sale of salt spring lands has netted above three hundred twenty-five thousand dollars; and there Presidents Northrop, Folwell, Vincent association. Each representative serving two years, their terms expiring on alter- nate years. The annual meetings of this association are ordinarily two — the annual business meeting held on the anniversary of the founding of the University, Febru- ary i8th, and the annual picnic on alumni day of commencement week. The associa- tion employs a secretary to give his whole time to the work of the association. The officers are Henry F. Nachtrieb, '82, presi- dent, Horace Lowry, '00, vice-president, Charles F. Keyes, '96, Law '99, treasurer, and E. B. Johnson, '88, secretary. Geological and Natural History Survey of the State, ^^■]lilc this survey is not technically a part of the University, it is so closely identified with the University departments of animal biology, botany and geology that its work is practically identi- fied with the work of the University. To quote from the state geologist, in one of his early reports, "There is no question but one of the prime motives of the law (creat- ing this survey) was to introduce another auxiliary force into the State university, are still 4625.64 acres left unsold, and, it is claimed by the regents, that 1 149.4 acres are due the state from the National Gov- ernment. The geological survey was naturally the first line to be started and prosecuted with vigor and this survey was brought to such a point that tTie regents thought wise to discontinue further work, for the time be- ing, December ist, 1900. The State Geologist has published re- ports as follows: Twenty-four annual re- '>orts, from 1872-98; and in addition, spec- ial and final reports as follows: On Lake Superior region, 1866; Final reports, six volumes: L 697pp. 43 pi. 1872-82; n, 695pp. 42 pi. 1882-85; III, pt.

The work of the geological survey was done under the direction of Professor New- ton H. Winchell who was state geologist down to 1900, when this line of work was discontinued. The legislature of 191 1 appropriated $13,- 000 for the ensuing biennial period to re- vive the work of the geological survey. Professor W. H. Emmons, head of the L'niversity department of geology, was made director, and the actual work of the survey was begun early in 1912. The work is carried along in co-operation with the U. S. Survey and in co-operation with the School of Mines experiment station and the school of chemistry. The State drainage commission is also ready to co-operate with the work of this branch. The lines of work already undertaken are, a survey of the four quadrangles in the western part of the state; Minnesota clays; Minnesota building stones; Surface formation of Minnesota, with special reference to soils; Road ma- terial of [Minnesota: A relief model of ]\Iinnesota.

Graduate School, The, gathers into a single organization and unites for the pur- poses of administration all the activities of the University in all its schools and colleges in so far as they relate to ad- vanced instruction ofifered for the second or higher degrees, viz: Master of arts and ALUMNI WEEKLY 83 Doctor of philosophy conferred for ad- vanced, non-technical study; Master of sci- ence for technical study: IMaster of laws. The privileges of this school are in gener- al open to all bachelors of arts, of science, pure and applied, and of law^s, from repu- table colleges and universities having courses substantially equivalent to those at this University. ]\lore or less graduate work has been provided from the very beginning- of the University, and there has been an informal organization of the graduate work of the University into a graduate department, but its formal organization and recognition did not come until the meeting of the board of regents, held December I2th, 1905. Dr. Henry T. Eddy was elected dean at that time. The Graduate School embraces all the work of all departments offering grad- uate work and its faculty consists of all persons giving instruction to graduate stu- dents. Following the resignation of Dean Eddy, Professor John Zeleny became acting dean for the year 1912-13. In June, 1913, Pro- fessor Guy Stanton Ford, of the depart- ment of history, was elected dean. The dean is assisted in the administration of the graduate school by an executive com- mittee. The only fellowships granted are the four Shevlin fellowships of $500 each and the Howard Scholarship. In many depart- ments appointments as research assistants enable qualified students to enter the grad- uate school and do at least part time work toward a degree. The requirements for advanced degrees are the same as those maintained by other members of the Amer- ican Association of Universities. Graduates, School of Agriculture, 1,876; men. 1,295; women, 381.

Greater Campus Development Plans — In the spring of 1908 the Regents, desir- ing to obtain a general plan for the de- velopment of the University grounds and buildings, instituted a competition in or- der to select an architect to prepart a plan for such development. A prize of $1,000 was offered to the architect who would submit three plans, one showing a general plan of grounds and buildings, the second a section taken in any direc- tion, at the option of the competitor, and the third a bird's eye perspective. Plans were submitted by some of the leading architects of the country and a commis- sion appointed by the Regents awarded the prize to Cass Gilbert. The original plans, of course, while comprehensive were only very general and the Regents entered into negotiations with Mr. Gilbert to secure definite and workable plans for carrying out his ideas for campus devel- opment. Mr. Gilbert finally consented to do the work for $10,000. The Regents contributed $4,500 of this amount and Messrs. L. S. Gillette and F. W. Clifford contributed $5500 the balance needed. Later the Regents voted to refund this amount to Messrs. Gillette and Cliflford. Detailed plans; and specifications were then provided by Mr. Gilbert and on recommendation of the Board of Regents were approved and adopted in a general way by the legislature of 1909. The loca- tion of the buildings and all improvements since made on the campus have been in general compliance with the plans adopted. Reproductions of these plans will be found in this issue of the Weekly. For a full statement of details see West- ern Architect published early in 1909 and the supplement to the Regents' annual re- port of 1908. Greek Club was established in 1900 or 1901.

Act creating this board was approved March, 1878. Legally and technically this board has no connec- tion with the University, but, owing to the fact that the president of the Univer- sity of ex-officio a member of the board, it 90 THE MINNESOTA has practically been very closely identified with the growth and development of the University. The act creating the board is to be credited directly to Dr. Folvvell, who was then president of the University. The act creating the board has been amended many times but its essential features re- main the same and these features are — an inspection of the schools, both high and graded, by a person appointed to that duty, or, by an examination of its pupils, or, both; by state financial aid to high school and graded schools. This act gave Minne- sota one of the best school systems in the country. It unified and simplified and so made more efficient the whole system from the kindergarten to the University. Higley, Merle.

For general statement of the organization and history of the de- partment of medicine see statement under the college of medicine and surgery. This college is the direct and lineal de- scendant of the Minnesota homeopathic medical college which was established in 1886. The old college ceased to exist and the new one came into existence by the acceptance, by the board of regents of the University, of the proposition of the trus- tees of the Minnesota college, to surren- der the charter of that institution and to become merged in the department of med- icine which was then being formed. The college faculty was appointed in the spring of 1888 and instruction was begun in the fall, with Dr. H. W. Brazie, as secretary of the faculty and Dr. Perry H. Millard, 92 THE MINNESOTA as dean of the department. In the fall of 1892, this college, together with the others, constituting the department removed to the University campus, the w^ork having been previously conducted in the building now occupied by the Asbury hospital, on the corner of Ninth avenue south and Sixth street. With the removal to the campus, this college was made more inde- pendent in the government of its affairs and Dr. Brazie was made dean. The work was carried along without special in- cident until 1893, when Dr. Alonzo P. Williamson became dean, in place of Dr. Brazie, resigned. Dr. Williamson contin- ued as dean until igp3, when he resigned and Dr. Eugene L. Mann was elected in his place. The college, as first organized, provided a course of three years, which was increased to a four-year course in 1895. This college increased its en- trance requirements, at various times, un- til it finally required two full years of col- lege work for admission. In 1903, the at- tendance fell ofif so that a proposition was made to abolish the college altogether, providing for the work of the college by the creation of two professorships, one in the homeopathic materia medica and one in therapeutics. The movement failed and the college continued as it had before, to furnish a full college course in homeo- pathic medicine and surgery. The work in anatomy, physiology, histology, chern- istry and bacteriology being pursued in common with the other students of the de- partment. The legislature of I9p0 appro- priated $50,000 for a building for this col- lege. The Regents declined to erect the building and voted, at the May meeting of the same year, to abolish the college. At the same time the Regents created a chair of homeopathic materia medica and an- other of homeopathic therapeutics, making these courses optional to any student in the college of medicine and surgery. There being no demand for this work these chairs were afterward, in 1911, abolished. During the course of its exist- ence this college graduated 78 men and 15 women. Honorary Fraternities.

It was erected in 1899 at a cost of $15,000, and has since been enlarged and re-equipped. It is a two-story brick building 40x150 feet. It contains rooms for the examination and treatment of pa- tients in every department of medicine, laboratories, drug-room and store rooms. It draws patients not only from the im- mediate neighborhood, which is thickly settled, but from all quarters of the city. Its clinics are crowded to congestion, 11,- 501 new patients and 40,457 visits having been recorded in the past year. It ex- tends its usefulness, by an externe corps, to the homes of the city's poor and main- tains a large obstetrical service. ALUMNI WEEKLY 93 Hospitals. — In the past the several pub- lic and private hospitals of the Twin Cit- ies have generously welcomed to their wards and amphitheatres the clinicians and students of The Medical School; but with the attainment of The University Hospitals, owned and controlled by the State, the school is able to confine its clinics to its own field and to the City hos- pital of Minneapolis, and the City and County hospital of St. Paul. The Minneapolis City hospital has a present capacity of 360 and a projected capacity of 700 beds. It has a large pa- vilion for contagious diseases, in general, while Hopewell hospital, on the outskirts of the cit}', is devoted, with its 120 beds, to the care of tuberculous patients. The authorities have recently entered into an arrangement with the University by which one-half of the City hospital patients, throughout the entire year, are placed in the care of a staflf nominated by the med- ical school, which becomes responsible for their treatment and conducts the teach- ing clinics. Negotiations are pending for a similar University service at the City and County hospital, in St. Paul. This. the largest institution of its kind in the Northwest, has 616 beds. Its present staff includes members of the faculty of the medical school and its clinics are open to students. The orthopedic department is in charge of the professor of orthopedic surgery in this school. Hospital Service Building. The legisla- ture of 1913 provided $50,000 for the con- struction of a hospital service building which is to be erected just west of Elliot memorial hospital and connected with it by a covered passage.

Inaugural Occasions — For a report of the inauguration of Dr. William Watts Folwell, as first president of the Univer- sity, see city dailies of December 22, 1869. The exercises took place in a large room on the 3rd floor of the west wing of the Old Main. The address, in full, will be found in a volume of University ad- dresses, published by the H. W. Wilson Co.. in 1909. The inauguration of Cyrus Xorthrop, second president of the University, took place in the Coliseum, June loth, 1885. A full report of the proceedings was pub- lished in pamphlet form by the Univer- sity. The inauguration 'of George* Edgar Vincent, third president of the University, took place in the University Armory Oc- tober 17th, 191 1. For full report see Min- nesota Alumni Weekly of October 18, 1911. Indoor Athletic Meet. This meet has been an annual affair since 1898. Industrial Contests, Rural School Work. Since 1910 two men have given the greater part of their time to the organization of industrial contests in rural schools in Minnesota. These contests have been conducted in about 40 counties and ap- proximately 15,000 boys and girls have taken part in the various contests. The contests include sewing, baking, manual training, and the growing of grain, corn, and vegetables. An acre-yield contest with about 1,300 competitors was or- ganized. In co-operation with the St. Paul Dispatch an acre-yield potato con- test was conducted in ten counties with 1,000 boys and girls participating. In co- operation with the Minneapolis Tribune a similar contest in tomato .growing and canning was carried through in eleven different localities, enlisting the interest of more than 1,000 girls. An important feature of the industrial contests has been the introduction of prizes for booklets pre- pared in rural schools on selected agricul- tural topics. The extension division is also to be credited with inaugurating the plan of providing warm lunches for those who attend rural schools. This plan lias been adopted by a number of rural schools, and ofifers an opportunity for ele- mentary instruction in domestic science. More than twenty schools report very sat- isfactory results.

It provides quarters for the departments of anatomy and obstetrics. It was completed so far as to permit of its occupancy in the fall of 1912, but its equip- ment is not yet fully finished. The appro- priations for this and its sister building, The New Millard Hall, were made by the legislatures of 1909 and 191 1. The cost of construction has been $243,000, and the equipment will aggregate $67,000. The building has a sub-basement in which the machinery of refrigeration and cold stor- age is housed; a i^asement in which a modern system of mechanical ventilation and air filtration is placed and where store-rooms, preparation-rooms, etc., are provided; and three main stories devoted to laboratories, class-rooms and research rooms. A bay, extending to the basement and first floor, provides for a large and well-lighted auditorium, designed to seat some 225 persons. A roof-house partially covers the upper floor slab, in which fur- ther ventilating machinery, animal enclo- sures, etc., are placed. The building has a floor area of 63,136 square feet. It is, perhaps, as complete a laboratory building of its type as may be found in America. Institute of Public Health and Pathol- ogy is situated on the old campus and is one building remaining there that is de- voted to medical teaching. It was built in i9o6-'o7, at a cost of $100,000, with 60x100 feet, with north and south wings 56x75 feet each. In the south wing the laboratory and epidemiological divisions of the State Board of Health are housed. A suite of rooms is devoted to the Pasteur Institute, in which researches in rabies are pursued and a special treatment of patients bitten by rabid animals is undertaken. Diag- nostic laboratories are provided for the bacteriological, chemical and pathological work of the State Board of Health. Re- search laboratories for members of the medical faculty, offices for the clerical force, vaults for records, unpacking, ship- ping, storage, washing and media rooms also occupy this wing. The remainder of the building provides for teaching and research work in the University departments of pathology, bac- teriology and public health. The central portion of the building, three stories in front and four in the rear, has a part of three stories devoted to mu- seum and library purposes. In a three- deck room, the department library and a large collection of pathological and bac- teriological specimens are available to faculty and students. On the first floor is a preparation room immediately beneath the museum and adjacent to the amphi- theatre and autopsy room. Six special laboratories and offices are provided on this floor for members of the staff. The remainder of the central body of the build- ing is occupied by the amphitheatre, fitted for lectures, projection work, and the conduct of autopsies, and by special re- search laboratories, photographic rooms, and a cold storage plant. In the north wing the main teaching lab- oratory occupies a floor space 75x56 teet, lighted on three sides and by sky-light, di- vided by means of low partitions and 12 loges, each devoted to the use of a group of students. Each loge is equipped with apparatus and supplies for practical work in pathology, bacteriology and public health. On the floor below is a student's added appropriations of $25,000 for the University, and $5,000 for the State Board of Health equipment. The building, which is 213 feet over all and 100 feet deep in its central portion, consists of a main body research laboratory, containing 6 loges, used for the teaching of special courses in pathology of tumors, neuro-pathology, practical sanitation, etc. Other special laboratories, rooms for the preparation 96 THE MINNESOTA and storage of media, and of stock cul- tures, together with janitor's quarters, are situated in this wing. Integral Club. An organization of en- gineering alumni of Minneapolis. Found- ed in 1911-12. Intercollegiate Conference Athletic As- sociation. This conference, which includes the Universities of Chicago, Illinois, Mich- igan, Minnesota, Northwestern, Purdue, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Iowa, grew out of a meeting of the presidents of seven universities of the Middle West, held in Chicago, on January 11, 1895, for the pur- pose of considering the regulation of in- tercollegiate athletics. The first meeting of the present Conference was held Feb- ruary 8, 1896. At that time it included all the universities named above except Iowa and Indiana which were afterwards ad- mitted. Michigan withdrew from the Conference January 14, 1903, and Ohio State University was admitted to the Con- ference in 1912. The Conference has no written consti- tution, but is governed by precedent and by various rules and resolutions passed from time to time. The annual meeting is held in Chicago at the close of Thanksgiv- ing week, and other meetings are called from time to time. A majority vote of the representatives is sufficient to pass any measure. All meas- ures must be submitted to the faculties of the constituent members for approval. If any faculty rejects any measure within sixty days, that measure must be recon- sidered at the next meeting of the Con- ference. If it again passes by a majority vote it becomes a Conference rule, non- observance of which results in suspension of the institution failing to observe the rule. The Conference has three standing com- mittees, on eligibility, on colleges, and on officials. See Conference Code, published by the Intercollegiate Conference Ath- letic Association in 1912. Inter Fraternity Council. The Inter Fraternity Council is the outgrowth of a feeling that certain evils had grown up around fraternity life in the institution and that these evils ought to be eradicated by the fraternities themselves. A commit- tee was appointed by President Northrop which made a report which was printed in full in the Minnesota Alumni Weekly of October 29, 1909. This report embodied the conclusions of the committee after visiting several leading western institu- tions and studying the fraternity question at those institutions. The evils were re- ported under three heads — low scholarship, excess of social indulgence, lack of demo- cratic spirit and healthy interest in Uni- versity affairs. The committee reported a form of inter-fraternity organization which should be binding upon all fraternities. The _ fraternities agreed to this with the proviso that the regents should demand that all fraternities live up to the consti- tution which was adopted in February, 1910. The organization has been main- tained and definite and persistent effort has been made to improve fraternity con- ditions at the University. The latest re- port of the president of the council, who is a member of the faculty and whose elec- tion must be approved by the board of regents, indicates that substantial pro- gress has been made and that conditions are not only improved but are still im- proving. See report published in Presi- dent's report of 1911-12. Inter-Society Debates. The action of the federated literary societies, in 1896, looking toward better provision and sup- port for intercollegiate, and intersociety debate, resulted in the formation of the league of the five members of the federated societies, which then included the Forum, Delta Sigma, Minerva, Law Literary and Shakopean. In 1897, the Castalians came into the league and Minerva won the championship, having defeated the Delta Sigmas and Castalians. In 1898, Minerva dropped out and Kent came into the league, and won the championship. In 1899, Minerva came back and the Hermean was also admitted, and this year the Sha- kopeans and Kents proved to be the lead- ers. In 1900, Blackstones came into the league and in the finals the Shakopeans won from th Forums and so held the championship. In 1901, the same teams competed as in 1900 and the Forums lead with Minerva a close second in the finals. In igp2, the Law Literary society fought its way to victory in the finals, defeating the Kents, the Minervas and Castalians. In 190^ by the Shakopeans; in 1904, by the Shakopeans; in 1905, by the Forum; in 1906, by the Forums; in 1907, by the Law Literaries. In this contest the Minervas were in the finals. The victories of later years have gone as follows: 1908. Shakopeans; 1909, Sha- kopeans; 1910, Castalians; 1911, Forums; 1912, Forums; 1913, Forums — won for the third successive time and so secured per- manent possession of the Jacobs cup.

Itasca Forestry Experiment Station. This station was established in accordance with law which required the co-operation of the state forestry board with the Uni- versity college of forestry. The Univer- sity owns no land at this place, but has fourteen buildings located on the Itasca forest reserve. These buildings are all log buildings and were constructed by the men and boys connected with the forestry school and are worth many times what they cost. The total expense of the build- ings was $5,125. The buildings include four cottages with a large bunk house, a dining hall, a library, a lecture hall, kitchen, ice, boat and pump houses, barn and shops. This station is utilized chiefly in connection with a summer course in the college of forestry and the experimen- tal work is carried on in co-operation with the state forestry board. Junior students in the college of forestry are required to spend the summer following their junior year at this station, where they are given practical field work to supplement the the- oretical work of the classroom.

It is provided that any society which wins this cup, three times in succession, shall become its permanent owner. Twice has it been won two years in succession, by the Shakopeans in 1903- 4, and by the Forums in 1904-5. The cup was first won by the Shakopeans in 1900. Final possession of the Jacobs cup was won by the Forum Literary society in 1913, having won for the third successive year temporary possession of the same. The final debate was won against the Athenian Literary society of the college of agriculture. Jaggard, Edwin Ames. Born June 21, 1859, Altoona, Pa.

Organized during the first year of the existence of the college of law. Law Loan Fund. The alumni of the college of law undertook to raise a fund of $10,000, to be used imder the direction of the faculty of the college of law to loan to students needing assistance during their college course. Law, School of. This department of the University was provided for in the or- iginal charter of the University, but it was not until 18S8 that it was organized under the title of the college of law. The work of instruction began in September of the same year under the direction of William S. Pattee, who had been elected dean. There were twenty-seven students present on the first day. The first year of the college's existence was spent in the Hermean room in the basement of the Old Main building, but in the summer of 1889 a new building was erected, which was occupied in October, 1889. The growth of the college was very rapid, so that enlarged accommodations became necessary. Accordingly in 1904-05 a large addition was Iniilt in the rear of the old building. .\t the time of the establishment of the college, no other educational requirements were made for admission than that the applicant should have had such a general education as would enable him to pur- sue the study of law with advantage to himself. But in conformity with the gen- eral movement in other parts of the coun- try, these admission requirements were steadily pushed upward until, in 1901, ad- mission to regular standing was substan- tially limited to graduates of a high school. In 1909 the applicant was required to have completed one year of academic college work, and in 191 1 these requirements were increased to two years of college work. Persons over twenty-one years of age having a high school education are also admitted as special students, not can- didates for a degree. At the beginning the course of instruc- tion extended over two years in both day and night schools, but four years later the night course was extended to a period of three years, and in 1895 the day course was extended to three years. In 1907 the night course was lengthened to four years. In 1891, graduate work leading to the de- gree of master of laws was offered, and later the degree of doctor of civil laws was established, but in 191 1 graduate work was temporarily discontinued. From the first establishment of the col- lege. Dean Pattee held classes at night for benefit of those students who were unable to attend during the day. From this be- ginning grew a flourishing night school, in which the attendance was frequently al- most equal to that in the day school. In 1912 night courses ceased to be offered for graduation, but continued to be given by the law faculty under the auspices of the division of university extension. Stu- dents in the night courses do not ordinar- ily qualify for graduation, but it is possible for those who complete the night course with credit to receive university credit towards a degree by taking the regular law school examinations. Special atten- tion- is given to instruction in practice, and practice courts are maintained in which the procedure and methods of busi- ness are made as nearly like those of the state courts as possible. Students are also afiforded an opportunity for actual experi- ence in practice in connection with the Minneapolis Legal Aid Bureau. William S. Pattee served as dean from the organization of the college in 1888 to the time of his death in 191T. He was succeeded by William R. Vance, formerly professor of law in Yale University, whose service began in 1912. The faculty con- sists of ten professors, of whom six give their entire time to the work of the school. In addition, instruction is given on particu- lar topics by special lecturers selected from the bench and bar of Minnesota. The so-called "case method" of instruction is used in all of the regular courses, collec- tions of decided cases on the topics under 108 THE MINNESOTA consideration being put in the hands of the students and used as the basis of dis- cussion. Standard text books, however, are frequently cited and students are ex- pected to make frequent reference to them. The tuition f(te is $65 a year, payable one- half in advance at the beginning- of each semester. Graduates of the Law School are admitt- ed to the bar in Minnesota without further examination, upon presentation of their diplomas. Laws Relating to the University.

Alumni and former students of the University have more or less formal organizations in va- rious parts of the country. Whenever an alumnus may chance to settle where there is such an organization, he should make the fact known to the other alumni living in the neighborhood. While the follow- ing list is not complete, it may prove help- ful to alumni who are traveling. As the officers are frequently changing, in the as- sociations, we have simply given a list of the places where such organizations are maintained. If you chance to be in a part of the country where you would like to get in touch with any of these associa- tions, make yourself known to any alum- nus living in the city and you will be able to secure the information you desire.

Ludden, of St. Paul, in 1902, gave the University of Minnesota $5,000, which was afterward increased to $10,000, to be held, invested and reinvested by the Uni- versity, through the board of regents, and 112 THE MINNESOTA the income thereof to be collected, re- ceived and applied by said board of re- gents to the financial assistance of stu- dents of either sex in the school of agri- culture. The fund produces about $400 a year. The following conditions are imposed by the donor: "The beneficiaries must be youths who are residents of the state of Minnesota: they must be and continue of unblemished moral character, and of tem- perate and industrious habits, and they must be such as by examination and trial shall evince and maintain a taste, habit and aptitude for study and improvement; and any student who shall fail to come, or shall cease to be, wthin the above con- ditions shall forfeit all claims to the ben- efit of such fund. Subject to these con- ditions the administration of such income is entrusted to the said board of regents or shall cease to be within the above con- which may make such rules therefor as they may deem judicious." When Mr. Ludden's will was probated, in October, 1907, it was found that he had left a considerable property to be used as the regents may direct for the aid of needy and deserving students. This property consisted of certain real estate in St. Paul and miscellaneous stocks and bonds.

The killing and cutting rooms on the main floor are well adapted to large details for practice work, and the basement curing rooms ofifer excellent op- portunity for training in this branch of the work. The store rooms are refriger- ated by the ammonia process and are so arranged that work started by a student at any time can be held almost indefinitely. Mechanic Arts Building. This building was erected in 1886, at a cost of $51,500, including equipment. It was remodelled and a large addition made to it in 1903, at a cost of $10,000. It is constructed of red pressed brick with red sandstone trim- mings and is a three story and high base- ment building. Originally it was used ex- clusively for the housing of the college of engineering. With the growth of that col- lege and the addition of other buildings, this building was finally abandoned by that college, at the end of the college year 118 THE MINNESOTA T911-12. The building was then turned over to the department of political science and economics and the University extension service of the University. The building is in no sense tire proof or even slow burn- ing construction, it is antiquated and hard- ly suitable for any University use, en- dangering, as it does, all material that may be housed in it. It provides about thirty thousand square feet of floor space and provides quarters for the superintendent of buildings, inventory clerk, post office, and storage of supplies for the University.

With the acquirement of the new campus, the board of regents set apart the two and one half blocks lying between Union and Church streets and bounded north and south by Washington avenue and the Mississippi river, for the site of the new medical buildings. It is expected that ultimately the entire medi- cal group will be placed on this new medi- cal campus, for which the faculty and Al- umni, by a fund of $42,000, secured by the contributions of citizens of Minneapolis, helped to provide. Medical School. This school was author- ized by the charter of the University, and as early as 1873 agitation for its organiza- tion had begun. Not until 1882, however, did the question assume definite form. It was then brought to the attention of the board of regents by a communication from Dr. Charles N. Hewitt, secretary of the state board of health. As a result, a res- olution was adopted by the board authoriz- ing the appointment of a committee con- sisting of Dr. Chas. N. Hewitt, Dr. Wm. H. Leonard, and President Wm. W. Folwell, instructed to prepare plans for the estab- lishment of such a school. The commit- tee's report recited the then present condi- tions of medical education and recom- mended the creation of a faculty whose duties should be those of an examining, licensing and degree-conferring board; be- fore which each candidate to practice med- icine in the state should appear for exam- ination, as to his literary and scientific qualifications and his professional fitness. This report was adopted and the faculty, as an examining body, was appointed Jan- uary 5, 1883. Under this form of organiza- tion the school existed until 1887, confer- ring upon nine candidates the degree of bachelor of medicine. On the 7th of April, 1887, a committee, consisting of Dr. D. W. Hand, Dr. Chas. N. Hewitt, and Dr. Perry H. Millard, waited upon the board of regents, and urged the establishment of a teaching school of medicine. The question was re- ferred to a special committee of the board of regents and at a meeting of the board on January 28th, 1888, representatives of the hoard of trustees of the Minnesota Hospital college and of the St. Paul Med- ical school tendered to the regents the use of their properties, for a period of five years, and agreed to the surrender of their respective charters in order that a medi- cal school of high grade might be estab- lished in the state. The ofifer was accepted by the board. In March 1888, the board of trustees of the Minnesota Homeopathic Medical col- lege voluntarily surrendered its charter and offered to provide temporary quarters for a homeopathic college of medicine, if the regents would establish such a school. This ofifer was accepted. One committee was appointed to nom- inate a faculty for the college of medicine and surgery and for the college of dentis- try, and another to nominate a faculty for the college of homeopathic medicine and surgery. These three colleges were com- bined in one department of medicine, and were open to students in the fall of 1888, classes being conducted in the building later occupied by Asbury hospital, at the corner of 6th street and 9th avenue south. Dr. Perry H. Millard was appointed dean of the department. For four years, instruc- tion was given in these quarters and, in 1891, the legislature appropriated $80,000 for a medical building to be erected on the University campus. This was completed in season for the opening of the session of 1891-92, and was later named Millard hall. With the removal of the department to the University campus a change in admin- istration was demanded. Each of the col- leges constituting the department was giv- en its own dean. Dr. Millard was con- tinued as dean of the college of medicine and surgery, Dr. H. W. Brazie was ap- pointed dean of the college of homeopathic medicine and surgery, and Dr. W. Xavier Sudduth, dean of the college of dentistry. Later, the college of pharmacy was organ- ized and added to the group, and Dr. Frederick J. ^^'uIling was installed as its dean. Dr. Millard filled the deanship of the medical school until his death in 1897; he was succeeded by the late Dr. Parks Rit- chie, professor of obstetrics, who held the office until 1906. Upon his resignation. Dr. Frank Fairchild Wesbrook was chosen and conducted the school until the spring of 1913. when he resigned to accept the Pres- idency of the University of British Colum- bia. His place has been filled by the se- lection of Dr. Elias Potter Lyon, formerly dean of the St. Louis University Medical school. The college of homeopathic medicine and surgery was maintained until the year 1909, when it was abolished by vote of the board of regents. In the year 1908, the ]\Iinneapolis Col- lege of Physician and Surgeons, affiliated until then with Hamline University, was ALUMNI WEEKLY 119 merged with the medical school of the Uni- versity, which undertook to complete the teaching of its matriculants and to recom- mend them to Ilamline University for the degree. In the spring of 1913, the medical school was reorganized by direction of the pres- ident and the board of regents. Its chairs were grouped into eight departments, as follows: anatomy (including histology, embryology, gross anatomy, neurology, etc.); physiology; pharmacology; pathol- ogy; public health and bacteriology; med- icine (including pediatrics, and nervous and mental diseases, as divisions) ; surgery (including the divisions of dermatology, genito-urinary diseases, orthopedics, and eye, ear, nose, and throat); and obstetrics (including g\'necology). The new faculty numbers 46 professors and 28 instructors. A force of laboratory and clinical assistants, numbering 26, is without membership in the faculty. The direction of the school is entrusted to an administrative board consisting of the dean and the secretary of the medical school, the superintendent of hospitals, the heads of the departments and of one mem- ber elect chosen by the facultj^ at large. Seven and eight year courses are offered to students of medicine. In the former, the minimal requirement of two years in a recognized college of science, literature and the arts, followed by the first two years in medicine, leads up to the degree of B. S. In the latter, three 3'ears in the college of science, literature and the arts, followed by the first year in medicine, lead to the degree of B. A. Under either of these courses, two years in general chemistry and qualitative chem- istry, one year in biology, physics and rhetoric, and a reading knowledge of French or German are required. The first two years in medicine are de- voted to the study of the fundamental medical sciences, including anatomy, phy- siology, pharmacologj', bacteriology, path- ology and the principles of medical diag- nosis. The second two years take up the study of clinical pharmacology and path- ology, and of medicine, surgery and ob- stetrics in theory and practice. Their work is essentially clinical in method and is very largely pursued in the hospitals and dis- pensaries owned by or affiliated with the school. The fifth year in medicine, precedent to the granting of the degree, may be taken in a standard hospital interneship or in ad- vanced work in the laboratory field. The tuition fee is $150 a year for each of the first four years in medicine. No fee is charged in the fifth year. A summer school of medicine, opened in 1913, offers courses of six weeks duration in the laboratory branches and in the clin- ical field, which may be made contributive to a degree. Courses in public health are being in- augurated, with a view to the training of both medical and lay health officers. In the twenty-five years of its history, the medical school has graduated 1,082 doctors of medicine. Its enrollment for 1912-13 numbered 191. Medicinal Plant Garden.

Memorial Day. Since 1899 the Univer- sity has observed Alemorial Day by pro- viding for the decoration of the graves of students who lost their lives in the Span- ish American war. The idea originated with Professor Arthur Edwin Haynes who provided silk American flags to be placed on the graves of all students who lost their lives in the Spanish American war. Menorah Society was established in 1904 and has a membership of 125. Its purpose is to study Jewish history and culture, to promote Jewish ideals, and to discuss Jew- ish problems. Its activities include busi- ness meetings, lectures by members of the faculty or others, papers by student mem- bers and a limited number of social func- tions during the year, including a play, a banquet and a dance. This was originally organized as the University Jewish Liter- arv Society. Mercer, Hugh Victor, born January 26, 1869, in Marion county, Illinois; son of Silas and Caroline Gaston Mercer; m.

He was called to take charge of the preparatory department of the University in 1851, and actually opened a school on the 26th day of October of that year, in a small building, erected by public subscrip- tion, on or near the site of the old exposi- tion building. The school was carried on by Mr. Merrill for four years, he paying all of the expenses, including his own compen- sation out of tuition fees received. Mr. Merrill was the chief mover in calling and organizing the first teachers' association of the territory and was superintendent of public instruction for one year, parts - of 1854. 1855. _ He was ordained a Congrega- tional minister in 1863, and was pastor of various churches in this state until his health failed him in 1875, when he was obliged to give up his work.

The act of Congress of 1862, providing for the establishment of "Land grant colleges," requires that in- struction be given in miliary science and tactics at all institutions that are its bene- ficiaries. The Armory is located on the University with the necessary arms, equip- ties usually provided in a modern Armory. The United States government supplies the University campus and has all the facili- ment and ammunition for instruction in infantry and artillery drill, and details a commissioned officer of the regular army to take charge of the department. The office of professor of militarj'- sci- ence and tactics has been held by the fol- lowing named gentlemen: Maj. Gen. R. W. Johnson, (retired), 1869-71; Maj. F. L. Huggins, 1872-75; Lieut. John A. Lundeen, 1876-79; Professor O. J. Breda, who came to the University as professor of Scandi- navian, in 1884, conducted work in military drill, for some time; Lieut. Edwin F. Glenn, 1888-91; Lieut.

Schouten; Captain Sigerfoos was followed by Captain, afterward Major Ed- mund L. Butts, who remained in charge until 1912 when he was succeeded by Lieut. J. B. Woolnough. See Forty Years of the University of Minnesota, pages 200-205. Military encampments. The first mili- tary encampment at the University was held under the direction of Captain Ed- mund L. Butts during examination week in the fall of 1910. This camp was known as the Cyrus Northrop camp. The agri- cultural school cadets held a similar en- campment in the week preceding the open- ing of work at that school. The following year the camp was known as the William W. Folwell camp. The 1912 camp was known as the John A. Johnson. The en- campment of 1913 is to be known as the T. A. P. Howe camp, in honor of the first University man who lost his life in a bat- tle near Manila, September i6th, 1900. Millard Hall, New together with The Institute of Anatomy, was authorized by the legislatures of 1909 and 1911, under appropriations of $266,400, for the build- ing, and $60,000 for its equipment. The building has three stories, with high base- ment and roof-house. It is built of Dan- ville brick with Bedford Stone trimmings and conforms to the general plan of the new campus University. It is thoroughly fireproof, its interior construction being of brick, concrete and tile. Its floor area is approximately 82,455 square feet. It is provided with thoroughly modern ventil- ating, air-purifying, electric-lighting, and vacuum-cleaning systems. Priniarily a laborator}' building, it is planned essentialh^ as a workshop and its equipment is designed for the development of a maximum of service along both teach- ing and research lines. The basement con- tains machinery rooms, store-rooms, prep- aration rooms, galvanometer room, com- bustion room, photographic rooms, locker room, students' lounging room, and a ser- ies of workshops intended to serve the manufacturing and repair needs of the med- ical school. The first floor is devoted to the Dean's offices, the faculty room, the clinical libra- ry, lecture-room, and the offices and lab- oratories of the department of medicine. Upon the second floor are the offices, re- search rooms, and library of the depart- ment of surgery; the offices, and students' and private laboratories of the department of pharmacology; laboratories for grad- uate study in physiology and physiologic chemistry; and a lecture-room. The third floor contains the offices of the secretary of the medical school, and is otherwise wholly occupied by the department of phy- siology, with three large students' labora- tories, two supply rooms, balance room, four special sense laboratories, the de- partment library, a demonstration room and and four private laboratories. The roof-house is designed for the hous- ing and care of animals and for operative and research work in which animals are employed. It has a number of study rooms; frog and turtle aquaria, rabbit, guinea-pig and monkey houses, rat and mouse cages, quarters for larger animals, an incinerator, and feed rooms. Surround- ing the entire roof-house, is a wide para- petted corridor in which the animals are permitted to exercise freely. The entire building is supplied with hot and cold water, high pressure steam, com- pressed air, gas and both alternating and direct currents for power. The two new medical buildings are sit- uated on the new campus fronting on a common court and flanked by Washington, Union and Church streets. Millard Hall (old). See pharmacy build- ing. Millard Medical Library. By the be- quest of the late dean. Perry H. Millard, M. D., who bequeathed his entire private medical library to the department, the de- partment came into possession of a collec- tion of several hundred volumes and pamphlets, including many rare and old medical works, sets of journals especially rich in surgical works.

Minerva Literary Society was estab- lished in 1895 and has an invitation mem- bership of thirty young women. Its ac- tivities are literary and social. Mines, School of, The. This school was established in 1888. It existed as a sep- arate organization until 1891, when it be- came an integral part of the college of engineering, metallurp-y and the mechanic arts. In 1896, another reorganization took place and the school of mines was made an independent organization with its own course of study, faculty and in 1900 Wil- liam R. Appleby, professor of metallurgy, was made dean. Up to 1913 this college was housed in the school of mines build- ing and the ore-crushing plant, both locat- ed on the river bank. The mining building was destroyed by fire, February 14th, 1913 and is to be rebuilt for the college of ed- ucation. The legislature of 1913 appropri- ated $145,000 for a new mining building which is to be erected to the north of the open court between the laboratory of ex- perimental engineering and the main en- gineering building. The school was cared for temporarily in the main engineering buildinar. The school is one of the best equipped on the campus and enjoys the advantages which come from an intimate connection with tlie mining experiment sta- tion established in 1911. Admission to this school is on the basis of graduation from an accredited high school, but students who are unable to pass an examination in mathematics are renuired to take a five- year course to receive their degree. The work of the course furnishes a thorough foundation in general engineering as well as special instruction in mining engineer- ing. Two trips for field work are required of all candidates for graduation — one at the close of the sophomore year and an- other at the close of the junior year. The degrees granted in this course are, en- gineer of mines and metallurgical engin- eer. The school has granted since its organization the following degrees Bach- elor of mining engineering, 6, Mining en- gineer, 10, Engineer of mines, ig6, Metal- lurgical engineer, 4. In addition to twelve professors, assistant ^^rofessors and in- structors who devote their whole time to the work of the school instruction is re- ceived in common with students in other colleges in subjects that are common to both. Mineral Lands and Leases. The Uni- versity still owns 19,303.9 acres of the land originally granted by the national govern- ment for its endowment. Some of these lands are located on the Iron Range. 114 40S are known to be in the iron bearing district and 40 are in the Biwabik forma- tion, which is the richest in iron. Twenty- two leases on this land, covering a total of 2,400 acres, with an estimated merchant- able tonnage of over five million tons, are in force at the present tiine and 134 have been cancelled. The total receipts from royalties on ore taken from this land to November ist, 1912, was $1 10,595.9s : the annual addition to the endowment of the University, from this source, is now about $100,000. It has been variously estimated that the University will receive, eventually, from these lands an endowment of any- where from twenty to forty million dol- lars. Mining Experiment Station. Established by the legislature of 191 1. The purpose of this station is, (i) To promote the de- velopment of the mining and mineral re- sources of the State. (2) To assay spec- imens of ores, rocks, clays, and minerals free of charge, subject to the necessary regulations imposed by the board of re- gents. (3) To make mining and metallur- gical experiments in the treatment of such substances and in the utilization of mining and metallurgical by-products. (4) To in- vestigate methods of mining and the use of explosives. (5)To undertake such other work as may seem desirable. (6) To make all ore estimates for the tax commission and to do such other work along the lines above outlined as may be requested by the other state departments. The first report published by the station was a report upon Iron Mining in Minne- sota, by Professor van Barneveld in the spring of 1913. ALUMNI WEEKLY 123 Mining and Metallurgy Museum. A museum of mining and metallurgy is _ lo- cated in the School of Mines Building. Representative ores of all the most im- portant metals, drawings, photographs of furnaces, sectional furnace models and samples of all the dififerent furnace prod- ucts are exhibited to the public and are, used as illustrative material for regular classes. Various mine appliances, pieces of machinery, underground photographs, models of mine timbering with sectional maps of some of the large Minnesota properties, complete the collection. A col- lection begun will include ores from all the important mines on the Mesabi range. The samples with analyses show well the character of ore produced by the State. Minneapolis Life Underwriters Associa- tion Prize. A prize of fifty dollars offered by the Minneapolis life underwriters asso- ciation for the best essay on life insurance written by a senior of the class of 1907, was awarded to Earl W. Huntley. Minneapolis Steel and Machinery Com- pany Scholarship. Beginning with the college year 1912-13, the scholarship of $500.00 created by the ]\Iinneapolis Steel and Machinery Company was available for work by a graduate student in the labora- tories of the college of engineering. The subject upon which work will be carried on is to be determined by agreement be- tween the company and the college. Minneapolis Tuberculosis Committee Fellowship in Economics. Chester Roy Adams appointed 1909-10. Minne-Ha-Ha was established in 190S and is published by an association of stu- dents whose membership includes all paid- up subscribers to the publication. Its pur- pose is to present to the students of the University the humorous and optimistic side of college life, and to arouse and stimulate the interest of the students in issues of importance. The magazine is published once a month during the college year. Minnehaha, The. The co-educational lit- erary society of the school of agriculture. Minnesota (American Commonwealth series). In 1909 the Houghton, Mifflin Co. published Dr. Folwell's book on Min- nesota in the American Commonwealth series. The book fills 382 pages. This is not an abridgement of the larger work which Dr. Fohvell has in preparation on Minnesota but an independent history of the state. Minnesota, The. This literary society for men of the school of agriculture was established 1905. Minnesota Academy of Social Sciences, The. This is not a University organiza- tion, but its members are so largely Uni- versity men that it is included in this dic- tionary. Organized in the spring of 1907. The purposes of this organization, as stat- ed in its constitution, are: (a) The en- couragement of the study of economic, political, social and historical questions particularly affecting the state of Minne- sota, (b) The publication of papers and other material relating to the same, (c) The holding of meetings for conference and discussion of such questions. Minnesota Alumni Weekly, The. The Weekly was started just before commence- ment in June, 1901. It was the idea of those back of the movement to publish the Weekly by picking up, bodily, items of news from the Minnesota Daily, that would be of special interest to the alumni. The project met with such an enthusiastic re- ception that it was found possible to issue it as an independent publication, using only a very limited amount of material picked up from the Daily. The Weekly was started bv its first and present editor, E. B. Johnson, '88, whose personal prop- erty it was until the spring of 1906, when he turned it over to the board of directors of the general alumni association. It is now the official publication of the general alumni association. It is issued weeky dur- ing the college j^ear, from September to June. The first number was issued Sep- tember 14, 1901. Sixteen pages and cover. Subscription price $2.00 a j^ear. Minnesota Alumni Weekly Gold Medal, The. This medal is provided by the Min- nesota Alumni Weekly and is awarded an- nually by the faculty committee on debate and oratory to that student who has made the best record in forensics during his col- lege course. This committee has estab- lished certain general principles which are to govern the award of this medal, as fol- lows: The medal shall only be awarded to a student who has shown himself broad- minded, unselfish, willing to work cour- teoush^ and enthusiastically, so as to best serve the interests of debate and oratory in the University and bring credit to his al- ma mater and incidentally to himself. The recipient must be a type and a model, as nearly as the student body offers such a candidate each year, of what a man may make himself through diligent application to the duty next at hand. The first medal was awarded to John P. Devaney, on commencement day 1907; sub- sequent awards have been made to Stan- ley B. Houck, 1908; Max Lowenthal, 1909; Sigurd H. Peterson, 1910; Not awarded in 1911; Matthias N. Olson, 1912; and Her- bert J. Burgstahler, 1913. Minnesota Association for Research, The. This association was organized March 9, 1907. Professor Gerould, the librarian, was the permanent secretary of the organiza- tion and the chief executive officer and is to provide a presiding offlcer for each of the seven meetings to be held each j'ear. The purpose of the association is the en- couragement and prosecution of original research at the University. This society has not been active since 1909. 124 THE MINNESOTA Minnesota Botanical Studies. Published by the staff of the botanical department, as a report on the botanical division of the State geological and natural history- survey. Minnesota Daily is the official student newspaper of the University. It was es- tablished in 1900, the first number being published May ist of that year. The edi- torial staff is composed of men and wo- men chosen by competition each year from the undergraduate body. It is the succes- sor to the weekly publication, The Ariel. Published daily, except Sunday and Mon- day, during the college year. Subscrip- tion price two dollars. Minnesota Daily News. This publication was started by a rival student organization, in December, 1903, who felt that the Min- nesota Daily was not filling the field which it should occupy. After a few months this publication was combined with the Minne- sota Daily and has been issued under this name since that date. Minnesota Debating Board. This board is provided for in the constitution of the debating and oratorical association of the University of Minnesota. It is made up of four faculty and five student members, (the faculty members holding the balance of power), and has charge of all matters connected with the student activities in these lines. The faculty members are ap- pointed by the faculty of the college of science, literature and the arts. This board is the result of evolution running through many years. It was orig- inated in the idea of those most closely connected with debate, in the department of rhetoric, that all departments of the University were interested in this line of work and that all departments were, in a sense, responsible for the proper training of the teams to represent the University. An effort was made to enlist the aid of other departments and the debating board, composed as above, is the outgrowth of this movement. It is the logical, and prob- ably the lineal descendant of the old ora- torical association, organized in 1880 and which had charge of oratorical events down through 1897-98, when it was succeeded by the debating board created under a new organization. In 1896, the Federated lit- erary societies undertook to look after debating interests. Up to that time debate had received little encouragement and had no organized backing. Minnesota Engineer, The. Successor to the Minnesota Engineers' Year Book. Es- tablished in November 1908 and has been issued as a quarterly since that date. Vol. IV of the quarterly has just ])een com- pleted; the whole number, including the annual, is 21. The character of the pub- lication continues practically the same as when an annual — it includes articles by fac- ulty, students and alumni who are engaged in lines of work of special interest to others engaged in similar lines of work. Minnesota Farm Review, The. A month- ly agricultural paper owned and published by the Alumni association of the school of agriculture. The paper is intended to be a medium by which the former students of the institution shall be kept in touch with each other and also with the school and experimental station. It also endea- vors to bring the farmers throughout the state, generally, into closer connection with the institution and to this end strives to present the latest progress in experimental work at the various stations. It is the of- ficial organ of the Alumni association and of the Farmers' club. The paper was es- tablished in 1896 as The Farm Students' Review; the name was changed in 1908. Minnesota Forester. This publication was established in January 1908 and in 191 1 was renamed the North Woods, which is nov/ in its second year. The publication is edited by the Forestry department of the University for the Minnesota State Forestry association, of which it is the official publication. The publication is de- voted to furthering the interests of for- estry, especially farm forestry. Minnesota Literary Union, The. See "Federated Literary Societies." Minnesota Magazine, The. This publi- cation was started in the fall of 1894, by a close corporation of members of the senior class of the college of science, literature and the arts. A monthly literary maga- zine. Price $1 a year. In 1906 the maga- zine was changed so as to make its board of editors elected by the subscribers, from members of the senior class. Minnesota in Manchuria. In the spring of 1908, E. C. Parker, Ag. '05, then a mem- ber of the faculty of the department of agriculture, was appointed by the United States Government, at the request of the Chinese government, to be expert agri- cultural adviser to the Manchurian gov- ernment. The appointment was for a per- iod of years. Mr. Parker was accompan- ied on his mission by W. H. Tomhave, Ag. '07, at that time in the live stock depart- ment of Pennsylvania State College. Minnesota Medical Monthly, The. (Homeopathic) was established in 1887, was published, as a college magazine, for about four years. Edited by Dr. W. E. Leonard. Minnesota Rifle Club was established January 10, 191 1 and has a membership of 124 from the cadet corps. Its purpose is to encourage military shooting among the male members of the University. Its activities include indoor and outdoor range practice, competitions with other colleges, and with the National Guard of the Twin Cities. The qualifications are in accord- ance with the rules of the War department at Washington, D. C. In the number of men qualified for membership Minnesota has more marksmen than all other col- leges and universities put together. In ALUMNI WEEKLY 125 1912 had 113 while all other colleges com- bined had but 96. Minnesota Seaside Station. This station was established in igoi and was maintain- ed through the summer of 1907. It was established by the department of Botany upon four acres of land owned by Profes- sor Josephine E. Tilden. It was located on Vancouver island, on a little cove at the entrance of the straits of Fuca, nearly opposite Cape Flattery. The post office is Port Renfrew, sixty miles north of Vic- toria. The station never had any official connection with the University thougli used in connection with the work of the department of botany. It served as an ex- periment station for the department, afford- ing excellent opportunity for the study of marine botany. During the years it was maintained classes were organized and work carried on continuously during work- ing hours so that great deal was really ac- complished, though the time spent at the station was but brief. As a result of this work two volumes of Postelsia have been published. Minnesota Section of the American Insti- tute of Electrical Engineers meets once a month alternately in St. Paul and Minne- apolis. Students of the college of engin- eering are welcome at these meetings. Minnesota Songs. Published in 191 1 by Hinds, Noble & Eldridge. The book was compiled and edited by W. W. Norton, '99, director of music at the University of North Dakota who was backed by the class of 1911 who adopted the book as a class memorial. The book contains about thirty Minnesota songs and a collection of col- lege songs popular at Minnesota. Minnesota Stories. A volume of twenty typical University stories chosen mainly from the Minnesota Magazine and pub- lished in 1903 by the H. W. Wilson Com- pany. Maroon cloth with half tone plate. Minnesota Trees and Shrubs. Prepared by Professor Clements and published as volume number nine of the botanical sur- vey series, in the fall of 1912. Minnesota Union, The. The movement for a men's building, which resulted in the organization of the Minnesota Union, started in the spring of 1908. Max Lowen- thal and John F. Sinclair were the leaders in this movement. A ten-day campaign among the students among the students resulted in securing $25,000 in pledges for the construction of a men's building. The constitution was adopted May 5th and an election was held and a board of govern- ors chosen. The first thing to engage the attention of the board was the proposition for a men's building. Plans for a building, submitted by Lowell A. Lamoreaux, '87, were adopted and a campaign launched to secure a building, by popular subscription, as a testimonial to President Northrop, in the spring of 1910. The plan met with con- siderable favor, but the total amount need- ed, $250,000, could not be secured as first planned and the legislature was asked to contribute toward the project, the Minne- apolis Commercial club pledging $75,000 if the legislature would contribute $150,- 000. This plan was not acceptable to the legislature, which adjourned without mak- ing the needed appropriation. At the request of the University author- ities, the Union ceased its active campaign for the building and, at the request of the regents, the legislature of 1913 voted to devote the chemistry building, which is to be vacated when the new chemistry build- ing is completed, probably in the fall of 1914, to the use of the men for a Union building, and appropriated $17,500 to make certain fundamental changes in the build- ing. To secure the sort of building need- ed will require $100,000 additional and it is proposed to raise this sum among friends of the University. The proposition to make the building a testimonial to President Northrop was abandoned when it was announced by the regents that they proposed to name the new library building, which will be the most imposing building on the campus, Northrop Hall. Since its organization the Union has been a positive force in University life. In the fall of 1909 a two-day carnival was held in the University Armory; the carnival was a great success and netted the Union a few hundred dollars. The next year, igio, a play, written by Edgar Allen, "The Prof and the Princess," was put on by members of the Union at the Princess theatre. All parts in the cast being taken by men. This was a great success and aroused great interest throughout the city as well as on the campus. A year later. 191 1, the Union put on, at the Shubert theatre, "The Girl in the Moon," all parts being taken by men. This play was like- wise written by Mr. Allen and received with great enthusiasm by the public, being a success in every way. The Union had charge of the business management of the May Fete, which was a great financial as well as social success. The Union has also held two informal get-togethers at the Uni- versity Armory which were unqualified successes. In the spring of 1913, the Union gave an All-University circus on Northrop Field. Three performances were given in two days. The afifair was a financial as well as spectacular success. Real co-op- eration between the various departments of the University to make the affair a genuine success resulted in the promotion 126 THE MINNESOTA of a sense of University fellowship that was really worth while. The Union has from its first inception, stood for one thing above all others — the buildin. A portion of the west wing was de- stroyed by fire in 1891; the top floor of the main portion of the building was burned in 1892; the building was totally destroyed by fire September 24, 1904.

A state law provides that "it shall be unlawful for any person to sell or dispose of any spirituous, vinous, or malt liquors within tiie distance of one mile of the Main Building of the University of Minnesota, as now located in the city of Minneapolis; provided, that the provisions of this section shall not ap- ply to that part of the city of Minneapolis lying on the west side of the Mississippi river." ■ Orations. A book of 152 pages published by Johnson Brothers and Amos, in 1886. It contains a complete file of all orations delivered at the Minnesota inter-collegiate oratorical contests from the beginning 1881 to 1886. Bound in red cloth. Oratorical Association, The. This as- sociation was organized in 1880. Oratory. The University oratorical as- sociation was organized in 1880, for the puf-ose of fostering the spirit of oratory in the University and for holding contests to choose representatives to compete in the state league which held an annual con- test for the purpose of selecting a repre- sentative to represent Minnesota in the inter-state contest held each year. The state league was made up of the University and Carleton, and later, in 1883, Hamline came into the league. At first Minnesota was represented by three orators in the state league, but with the coming of Ham- line, the number was reduced to two. In 1881. Owen Morris, a Carleton man, won first place and the honor of representing the state, though Minnesota representa- tives won second, third and fourth places, C. M. Webster, W. W. Clark and F. B. Snyder, coming in the order mentioned. In 1882, Minnesota won first, fourth and fifth places, her representatives being W. \V . Clark, S. L. Trussell and J. C. Wilson, coming in the order named. In 1883, Min- nesota won first and second places, F. N. Stacy, then a freshman, and S. D. Cather- wood, coming in the order mentioned. In 1884, the same result was secured and the University was represented by John W. Bennett and James Gray, in the order men- tioned. In 1885, Carleton college dropped out of the league and Minnesota took sec- ond, third and fourth places, being repre- sented by F. N. Stacy, T. E. Trussel, and E. R. McKinney. In 1886, the University took first, second and sixth places and was represented by N. M. Cross, F. N. Stacy, and G. E. Burnell. In 1887, the Univer- sity was represented by A. B. Gould, J. D. Hinshaw and Edward Winterer, and won first and second places. In 1888, the University was represented by J. E. Erf and P. R. Benson, who won second and third places respectively. Macalester was. at this time, admitted into the league, and signalized her en-trance by carrying ofif first honors. In 1889, Minnesota was rep- resented by H. D. Dickinson and T. G. Scares, who won first and second places respectively. In 1890, the University was represented by B. H. Timberlake and H. P. Bailey, who won first and second places respectively. In 1891, ^Minnesota was rep- resented by B. H. Timberlake and T. G. Soares, who won second and third places. In 1892, the University was represented by P. J. Neff and C. S. Pattee, who won sec- ond and third places. In 1893, by C. S. Pattee and W. A. Smith, and took first and third places. In 1894, by Laura Franken- field and J. G. Briggs, Mr. Briggs took second and Miss Frankenfield fourth place. In i89t, ^Minnesota was represented by Clair E. Ames and Arthur L. Helliwell, Mr. Helliwell received second place and Mr. Ames fourth. In 1896, Minnesota was represented by A Eliason and W. Pender- gast, who took first and second places. In 1897, the University was represented by Booth and Savage. Mr. Booth won first and Mr. Savage third place. In 1898, by E. A. Slocum and F. E. Force, who took third and fourth places. In 1899, for the first time, the winner of first place in the Pillsbury contest, was sent to represent the Universit}' in the Northern Oratorical League contest and the winners of second and third places represented the University in the state contest; Joseph W. Beach, won first place and A. J. Finch and F. G. Sasse, second and third and so represented Min- nesota in the state contest, winning second and sixth places. In 1900, W. M. Jerome won first place in the Pillsbury contest and represented the state in the N. O. L. contest, while H. G. Spaulding and W. R. Hubbard, won second and third and repre- sented the University in the state contest, where they won second and third honors. In 1901, T. D. Schall, won first and went to the N. O. L. contest as Minnesota's rep- resentative, and R. L. Dillman and O. A. Lende, represented the University in the state contest. Lende got fourth place and Dillman was debarred on a technicality.

This building is lo- cated on the bank of the ^Mississippi, and was erected in 1894, at a cost of $8,000. $4,100 of this sum was provided by the state and $3,900 by private subscription of citizens of Minneapolis. It is constructed of white brick and limestone and is 94 x 66 feet. The building provides quarters for the work indicated by its name, and contains the machinery used for such pur- poses. ALUMNI WEEKLY 137 Organization of the University. The plan of organization adopted by the re- gents, to carry out the provisions of the charter of the University, was mainly the creation of President Folvirell. The plan is shown by the following diagram: nical studies. The courses of study offered in this college cover, at present, a period of two years (Junior and Senior), and lead to baccalaureate degrees. 2.

The collegiate department, receiving the student from the Latin school or from the public high school, brings him, in the course of four years, to the end of the second (commonly called the Sophomores) year of the ordinary col- lege course. At this point he has his op- tion, whether, equipped with the fair prep- aration for special studies required in the collegiate department, to enter at once some one of the professional schools as they may hereafter be established, or to proceed with higher academic studies, classical, scientific or literary, in the "col- lege of science, literature and the arts," with a view to securing the best and full- est preparation for professional or tech- eBCAJHIATION OP THE DNIVERan. Latin school, but also of the collegiate de- partment, shall be dropped off as fast as the high schools can take the work. The University begins wherever they leave off. It is hoped that not very many years may pass before the whole work of the colleg- iate department will have been assumed by those schools. Actual courses were organized and in- strijction was offered in a so-called col- legiate department, being the department of elementary instruction called for by the charter of the University; a college of sci- ence, literature and the arts; a college of agriculture, which offered work in both elementary and college grade, and plans were formed for offering a "special course College Preparation R S College Sub Collegiate I II III Collegiate I II III IV V Graduate 1 II III Degrees •The Graduate School 4 yrs. 4 yrs. ^ XXX Ph.

The work of the "fourth," or sub-sub-freshman class, was dropped at the end of the col- lege year, 1875-76. The sub-freshman class was not dropped until the close of the col- lege year, 1889-90.

The Qwaton- na Tree Station was established by act of the legislature in 1887. Shortly after that the board of regents appointed Mr. E. H. S. Dartt, superintendent. Owing to diffi- culties in getting control of the land actual operations were not begun until May 4, 1888. This land is a tract of five acres set aside from the land of the State public school on the west side of Owatonna. Its purpose is for the production and develop- ment of new varieties of fruits and the thorough testing of fruits and trees. Mr. Dartt planted thousands of apple trees and collected a large number of seedling and apple trees, giving most of his attention to apples. Upon his death in January. 1903, Mr. Thomas E. Cashman, of Owatonna, was made superintendent and has continued as superintenden-t ever since. Owen, Sidney M., Minneapolis.

Nom- ination for membership in the American Pharmaceutical Association and the first year's dues are offered annually by Dean WuUing to the student in the college of pharmacy earning the highest total average of all standings. Pharmacy Building (formerly Millard Hall) was completed in October, 1892, at a cost of $61,000. The building is three stories high, with basement, and is con- structed of red sandstone and cream-col- ored brick, the basement and first story ALUMNI WEEKLY 141 being- of sandstone. It has a frontage of 125 feet and provides 28,000 square feet of floor space. Originally it housed all of the work in the four colleges constituting the department of medicine, medicine and sur- gery, homeopathic medicine and surgery, dentistry and pharmacy. The name, Mil- lard Hall, was given this building in 1906, in honor of Perry H. Millard, first dean of the department of medicine. Previous to that date it was known as medical hall. The building has suffered through 'fire four times. The first fire was July 22, 1905, loss to building, $3,540.22; contents, $3.333-45- The second fire occurred Oc- tober 6. 1908, when the anatomy build- ing burned and injured Millard hall to the extent of $3,931.36. A very serious fire oc- curred December 24, 1909, the loss being- $30,785.27. The last fire was that of March I, 1912, when the entire interior was burned. The insurance companies paid the University $30,000. Previous to this fire the legislature had appropriated $75,000 to remodel the building and to fit it up for the college of pharmacy. This amount, together with the insurance on the building, enabled the University to remodel the building and make it absolutely fire proof, and at the same time to build a plant house for the college on the foundation of the old anat- omy building and to connect the two by an underground passageway. The building now represents a total value of about $140,000, and is one of the best constructed buildings on the campus. Pharmacy, College of. This college was created and made one of the colleges of the department of medicine in 1892, the leg- islature having appropriated the sum of $5,000 at its previous session for the initial expenses of the college. Frederick J. Wulling, professor of pharmaco-diagnosis of the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy, and formerly of the faculty of the Columbia University College of Pharmacy, was made dean soon after the creation of the college. The college more than meets the entrance requirements of the American Conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties, and, al- though in accordance with a tentative agreement with the conference as well as with pharmacists of the Northwest, cer- tain students who have not had a full high school training, but who have had drug store experience are accepted for entrance. Nearly all matriculants of the college are nevertheless high school graduates. The faculty will very soon present a request to the regents for an unqualified high school training as a pre-requisite to matriculation in the college. By a recent action of the University re- gents the college will hereafter, beginning with the year 1915, give the degree pharma- ceutical graduate. Ph. G., for the comple- tion of the regular two-year course, and which two-year course students are priv- leged to complete in three years if they so choose. The number choosing three years for the completion of the regular course is increasing constantly. The following courses have also been authorized by the regents; a three-year course leading to the degree pharmaceutical chemist, Ph. C; a four-year course leading to the degree bachelor of science in pharmacy; a five- year course leading to the degree master of science in pharmacy and a six-year course leading to the degree doctor of pharmacy. By this action the college is retaining its full recognition by the educa- tion department of the State of New York and is equalling the requirements and fa- cilities of the best of the colleges of phar- macy of the State of New York, that col- lege also requiring not less than six years for the granting of the degree doctor of pharmacy. The college is thus aiding in the establishment and maintenance of the highest pharmaceutical educational standards. A good proportion of the work of the college is carried on in its new and very adequately equipped laboratories, and this laboratory work, together with the regu- lar didactic work, is very comprehensive and representative. The college has re- cently removed into the entirely re-con- structed and fireproof Old Millard hall, which is henceforth to be known as The Pharmacy Building. A legislative appro- priation, made in 191 1 of $75,000, added to an available fire loss, created a fund ap- proximating $110,000, the greater part of which has already been expended in the re-construction^ of the building .and its equipment. Everything in the building is new except the outer walls and part of the hallway. Within the walls and anchored to them there is erected a substantial steel and cement structure, fireproof in every re- spect. The building is equipped with hot hot and cold water, steam under pressure, gas, air pressure, steam heating with ther- mostatic control in every room, electric current for light and power, vacuum clean- ing system, electric fan ventilating system, elevator, inter-communicating telephones, metal weather strips, metal screens and im- ported washable window shades. The new furniture, including work tables for stu- dents, cupboards, shelving, lockers for stock, library stacks, filing cabinets, safe cabinets, tables, etc., is all made of a heavy gauge steel and covered with olive green baked-on enamel. The building is full four stories high, 60x115 feet in dimensions. The facilities of the college have been greatly enhanced by the establishment of a medicinal plant garden three years ago and by the erection of a medi- cinal plant house and laboratory on the old anatomy building ruins adjoining the pharmacy building proper. The medicinal plant garden has already received world- wide attention and has been the subject of articles not only in European technical journals, but in South American as well. The plant house and laboratory is the only building of its kind in this country, and in some respects is superior to those of lead- ing colleges of pharmacy of Europe. The fee for the regular course is $165, 142 THE MINNESOTA payable in either two or three annual in- stallments. The State Board of Pharmacy meets at the college four times each year to exam- ine candidates for registration as pharma- cists. Graduates of this college are ad- mitted to State Board examinations wher- ever standards of efficiency are established and its diploma is recognized in all states that recognize diplomas at all. Pharmacy Green House. This building was erected in 1900 at a cost of $15,000. It is 35x60 feet on the ground, a two story and basement building. Originally it was designed for the use of the department of anatomy and provided the necessary fea- tures for such a departure, including an amphitheatre which seated seventy-five students, dissecting rooms, cold storage vauts, etc. Two fires caused a thorough overhauling of the building, when a final fire which occurred October 5, igo8, de- stroyed it beyond possibility of re-construc- tion. At the request of the college of Pharmacy the regents caused the buiding to be razed to its foundation and erected thereon a green house for the use of the college of Pharmacy. In this green house medicinal plants are cultivated, furnishing material for laboratory work the year around. The building, before its final de- struction by fire, represented, with equip- ment, upward of $25,000. It is now valued at $15,000. Phelan, Anna Augusta Helmholtz.

Phi Alpha Gamma. Established at New York Homeopathic Medical College in 1894. Minnesota chapter established in 1897. Phi Beta Kappa (Alpha chapter in Min- nesota) was established December 13, 1892. It has 357 members and elects each year one-twelfth of the senior class of the col- leges of science, literature and the arts and education. Election to membership is based mainly on scholarship, though it is provided that graduates and persons dis- tinguished in letters, science or education may be elected. Its purpose is the pro- motion of scholarship and friendship among students and graduates of Ameri- can colleges. Phi Kappa stands for schol- arship in all the elements of a liberal edu- cation, specialization in one department being recognized only if based upon ex- cellence in others. The society desires neither those who by mere plodding have attained to average excellence in several lines of study without giving evidence of superior interest and ability in any, nor those who have shown power in a single direction to the exclusion of an intelligent interest in others. The society provides occasional addresses by distinguished speakers and holds an annual initiation, at which an address is given by the president of the chapter. There was a general re- vision of the constitution and by-laws adopted in 1905. ALUMNI WEEKLY 143 Phi Beta Pi. Xi chapter established in 1903. Medical fraternity. Phi Delta Chi (Pharmacy).

Men's division embraces the gymnasium, with a variety of gymnastic appliances, 1,200 lockers, 32 shower baths and a reg- ulation swimming pool. The object of the department is to provide all the students of the University opportunity for exercise to build up their general health. It also provides special training to correct physi- cal defects and functional derangements, as well as recreative and competitive games. The department is in charge of a professional medical director and assist- ants, and the training is under their direct supervision. A physical examination is re- quired of all new matriculants and others using the department privileges, and a record is made of the same. The exami- nation of these records shows a marked improvement in the standard of health of the average student during his college course. The department privileges are extended to all men of the University who conform to the customary regulations. In some of the colleges and schools of the University attendance in gymnasium is re<|uircd of all freshmen. Physical Education for Women. The department is intended to look after the health of the women students of the Uni- versity. New students are examined and advised, conducts systematic yearly con- sultations and examines when necessary upper class students. Courses in hygiene are offered, and the work in physical train- ing is organized so as to meet the needs and tastes of the students as far as pos- sible. Close co-operation with the woman's athletic association is maintained and athletic sports are organized and en- couraged. Cases of illness in dormitories and boarding houses are investigated and a sanitary inspection of boarding houses for young women is conducted. Suitable e.xercise is advised in the case of all in- coming students and required of those whose physical condition indicates the need of such training.

Phi Beta Nu. An honorary society founded by the seniors of the class of 1888, whose object was to promote the study of science, literature and the arts and to mark distinguished merit in faithful per- formance of duties at the University of Minnesota. The founders were Helmus Wells Thompson, Albert Graber, William Dodsworth Willard, Albert Ames Finch and Ulysses Sherman Grant. The mem- bership was not based wholly on marks, but lists of men recommended by the va- rious departments of the University sub- mitted lists of the men they considered the strongest in the junior class, these were arranged in order of designated pref- erence, and the first ten chosen as a ten- tative list, and the outgoing members elected five from this list, to constitute the society for the following year. This so- ciety continued in existence until the estab- lishment of Phi Beta Kappa, a national society of similar aims and ends, Decem- ber 13, 1892. Pi Beta Phi.

The young women of the University have adopted a point sys- tem to govern the honors which anj'' young woman, in anj-^ class in the Univer- sity may attain. The plan is to attach a certain number of points valuation to each office to which any women in the University may be elected and to fix the number of points which any young woman may receive in any one year of her college course. Seniors and juniors may attain 30 points, sophomores 20 and freshmen 10 points. The valuation of the offices varies from 25 points for the presidency of the woman's self government association to five points for chairmanship of commit- tees. The idea being to secure a greater distribution of honors and responsibilities and to prevent the over-burdening of a few with too many public duties.

With the growth of the University this branch became too much of a burden to be cared for and was taken over by the proprietor of the University book store and was managed by him for several years. When the book store removed from the campus, the postoffice was managed by the business manager of the Ariel, who employed a stenographer to take charge of the office, the fees for boxes paying the necessary expenses. The post office was finally placed in charge of Miss Clara Poucher, who devoted her whole time to the work, receiving the rental fees for her services. Later, 1904, J. C. Poucher, a brother of Miss Poucher, was placed in charge of the postof^ce and has continued in charge to this day. The postoffice was formerly located in the basement of the old main building, but when that build- ing was burned, it was removed to the ro- tunda of the library building. With the completion of Folwel hall, in 1907, the post- office was transferred to room 25, set apart for the purpose. In 191 1 the University took over the postoffice again and employed Mr. Poucher to take charge of it. In the fall of 1912 the postoffice was again moved to the basement of the old Mechanic Arts build- ing, which had been; remodeled for its use. Potter, Dr. A.

The proposition to utilize the power to lie developed at the government high dam, which, is being constructed at Fort Snelling on the Mis- sissippi river, for the benefit of the Uni- versity, was first suggested by Professor 148 THE MINNESOTA Benj. F. Groat, Eng. 'oi. The engineering alumni took up the suggestion with en- thusiasm and since Mr. Groat's suggestion, which was made early in the year 1909-IO, have been pushing the proposition to se- cure for the University the benefits of the power to be developed at this dam. A fair statement of the proposition may be found in the Minnesota Alumni Weekly of January 10, 1910. Progress has been made and at the meeting of the engineer- ing alumni held April 3, 1913, Mr. E. P. Burch reported upon the matter very fully. His report will be found in the Minneso- ta Alumni Weekly of April 7, 1913. Chemistry Building-, Department of Agriculture Power House.

This depart- ment was organized by the special board of three regents and opened for instruc- tion October 7, 1867. The legislature of the previous year had made an appropria- tion of $15,000 "to be expended in repairing and furnishing the University building, and for the employment of a teacher or teach- ers for the purpose of commencing the grammar and normal department of the University of Minnesota." This sum was spent as follows: $5,804.38 for current ex- pense, including salaries, and the balance for repairs. The faculty of this school consisted of W. W. Washburn, principal and instructor in German and Latin, Ira Moore, mathematics, E. H. Twining, nat- ural science, and A. J. Richardson, Eng- lish branches. The attendance, during the first session was 72, of which number 16 were young women. The enrollment of the second session was 109, including 35 women. The enrollment for the third ses- sion was 146, including 38 young women. The formal organization adopted by the regents and the election of the first University faculty, August 23, 1869, closed this chapter of University his- tory. Presidents of the. United States.

Religious Statistics. The most complete and reliable religious statistics of the Uni- versity were gathered in 1912-13 under the direction of the religious work director. A short summary of the main facts gath- ered appears in the Minnesota Alumni Weekly of January 27, 1913. Religious Work Director. Many times during the past ten years plans have been discussed for the organization of religious work at the University upon a broader and more effective basis. The leading church bodies of the state have discussed plans but could agree upon no plan for concerted action. The International committee of the Young Men"s Christian Association selected Minnesota, early in 1909, as a field peculiarly fitted to try out an experiment in religious work in col- leges. A Mr. Carter and a Miss Wilbur representing the committee, came to Minnesota to work with the representa- tives of the University Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations. The co-operation of men and women of various denominations was enlisted and pledges sufticient to provide the salary of a religious work director were secured. The Reverend Willard S. Richardson of New York, was called to the University to "make" the position as well as to fill it. Mr. Richardson spent the years 1909-12 at the University. While the result was not all that had been hoped. Mr. Richard- son's work indicated that the work was worth while. Mr. Richardson felt that he was not specially fitted to make the most of the opportunity afiforded in this field, ALUMNI WEEKLY 151 Mayo Butler M. M. Williams Vincent Som ners [Board of Regents] Lind Rice G. Williams Eberhart Snyder Schultz Nelson and left the field open to a new man. After full consideration of the whole situation, Reverend John Walker Powell, '93, of Du- luth, was called to the work on a three- year agreement. Mr. Powell took up his work in the fall of 1912 and spent the fol- lowing year making a study of the prob- lem. As a result of his year's work Mr. Powell has arrived at certain very definite conclusions which are embodied in an ar- ticle which appeared in the Minnesota Alumni Weekly of May 26, 1913. Re-organization of the School of Medi- cine. A complete re-organization of the school of medicine took place when the regents, on February 17, 1913, adopted the report of a special committee on re-or- ganization of medical instruction. A full statement of the plan of re-organization will be found in the appendix to the min- utes of the board of regents of that date. Research and Publication. The legisla- ture of 191 1 made an annual appropriation of $10,000 which was renewed by the leg- islature of 1913 for the purpose of encour- aging research work at the University and to provide for the expense of the pub- lication of the results. During the first year following this appropriation the fol- lowing research work and publications were undertaken: (i) Over forty investigations, on a wide range of subjects, have received aid in the form of material, apparatus and as- sistants.

Mr. Ryan began his service on the police force at almost the same time the University opened its doors and was on the University beat for practically all of the time of his service on the force. It is said that during his long term of service he never arrested a University boy and this does not mean that he did not do his duty as an officer. When he thought things going too far he would appeal to the students for an abatement of the dis- order, and, so thoroughlj^ was he liked, that he never appealed in vain. One time he told an unruly group of students — "Bys, ye must disperse or I'll lose me job" and they dispersed quietly. Thousands of alumni remember "Mike" and cherish of him the kindest memories. Mr. Ryan was born in Limerick, Ire- land, in 1840. He came to America in 1856. He served in the regular army of the United States and as a volunteer in the Civil War. He died August 8th, 1913.

In the spring and summer of 1910, E. B. Johnson, then clerk of the president of the board of re- gents, acting under the direction of the salary committee of the board of regents, made a study and reported upon a salary schedule for the University. This sched- ule in its final form was printed and sub- mitted to the regents early in the fall of that same year. The report was based upon a very wide study of the question and consultation with the leading authorities of the country. Salt Spring Lands. In 1857 the United States ceded to Minnesota 46,080 acres of so-called salt spring lands and later, in 1879, the United States added 24 sections, 15,360 acres, to supplement the first grant, making a total of 61.440 acres granted by the government to the state. This sup- plementary grant was given because of the fact that this amount of land had been lost to the University on account of pre- vious selections, partly through locating selections on lands belonging to the In- dians and partly because settlers had tak- en up under the homestead laws land se- lected. The grant of 1879 was secured through the good offices of Governor Pills- bury who secured the passage by the state legislature of a resolution asking Con- gress to make good this loss. The state selected and received title from the Unit- ed States to 29,842.77 acres from the first grant and 15,087.83 acres from the second grant, a total of 44,930.6 acres. 7,643.8 acres .were voted by the legislature to the Belle Plains Salt company to encourage the investigations of the company into the possibility of using the lands for the pro- duction of salt. Nothing was accomplish- ed through this grant, the compan}^ selling the land and doing almost no work in re- turn. A second grant was asked by the same company and the legislature called in Professor Winchell, of the University of Michigan, to investigate and report. His report indicated that nothing was to be hoped from the company and in 1872 an act was passed creating the Geological and Natural History Survey and granting to that survey for its support all the lands remaining of the Congressional grant of 1857. Owing to an error 22.89 acres of land have been lost so that the state act- ually received 37,263.91 acres to be used for the support of the Geological and Natural History Survey and there is still due from the U. S. government 1,149.4 acres of land and an effort is being made to secure this land for the state. All but 4,625.64 acres of these lands have been sold and a total of more than $325,000 has been received for the support of the Geological and Natural History Survey. Salutatorians. 1876, W. E.

The University opened in November 1910, a dormitory for the ac- commodation of a part of the women stu- dents. In honor of Maria L. Sanford, Em- eritus Professor of Rhetoric, this dormi- tory is named Sanford Hall. It is situated on the corner of Eleventh and University Avenues, southeast. It furnishes a home for ninety girls, about one-half of whom may be freshmen. The charge for room and board is $225 for the University year. Sanford, Mary F., 1902. General secre- tary of the University Y. W. C. A., 1903- 05; now Mrs. W. R. Morison. Sanford, Maria L., born December 19, 1836, Say- brook, Conn. She spent her girlhood in Meriden, Conn. Connecticut state normal school, 1855; ten years she taught in the schools of Connecticut — five in New Haven. She then went to Coatesville, Pa., where she was superin- tendent of the schools, and principal of the high school. Resigning there she accepted the position of teacher, and was afterwards made professor of history, elocution and rhetoric in Swarthmore college. Here she taught for ten years. While at Swarthmore she lectured extensively in Ohio, Pennsyl- vania and Maryland. In the fall of 1880 she came to the Uni- versity as assistant professor of rhetoric and elocution, 1880-81; professor of same, 1881 to 1909; professor emeritus to date. Professor Sanford has always taken a deep interest in the various works of a chari- table and religious nature. She has been a director of the Northwestern hospital, and president of the Woman's auxiliary to the Young Women's Christian association. In temperance work her influence is felt throughout the state. As an eloquent, forcible, popular and earnest speaker, Miss Sanford is well known to the people of Minnesota, having given numerous ad- dresses in practically every part of the state. She was recently introduced to an audience as the "best known and best loved woman in the state of Minnesota." She is actively connected with various wo- men's organizations and takes an active interest in everything that promises civic betterment. See Weekly, June, 1909 and Dec. 18, 1911. Scholarship, Sanford, Maria L. The Minnesota Federation of Women's clubs have raised $1,200 for the purpose of en- dowing a scholarship in the University to be known as the Maria L. Sanford scholarship. The money is loaned to sen- ior women in sums not to exceed $250 each, to be repaid within two years after graduation, with interest at the rate of four per cent.

At times it has been inactive, but during the past five years, since the coming of Professors Bothne and Stomberg, it has been revived. The purpose of the society is to bring to- gether for mutual enjoyment and profit, the men and women of Scandinavian birth, or descent, in the University. Programs in Scandinavian are given and a definite attempt is made to arouse and keep alive an interest in the best things in Scandina- vian language, literature, art and life. Fre- quent meetings are held — social and liter- ary, and some of the great men of the Scandinavian countries are secured to give lectures upon their specialties. The so- ciety has a large and enthusiastic member- ship. Schadle, Jacob E.

Scholarships (Endowed and Current). The Moses Marston, The Albert Howard, The John A. Johnson, The Minneapolis Steel and Machinery Company, The Col- lege Woman's. Scholarships (University). It is the poli- cy of the University to encourage grad- uate study and to provide for assistance in laboratories, reading of test and exam- ination papers, supervision of note books, and similar services by the appointment of assistants and scholars in departments where such services are required. The general principles which now control the making of such appointments are: (i) the appointments are made by the Board of Regents, upon the nomination of the head of the department concerned and its ratification by the dean of the college; (2) appointments are for one year only, but may be renewed; (3) the appointees must be graduate students who are taking work along the line of their appointments; (4) they are not regularly placed in charge of classes, and when exceptions are made to meet emergencies the arrangement is re- garded as a temporary one. School of Agriculture. The total at- tendance upon the regular courses in the school of agriculture, from 1888 down to 1913 was 4824 excluding duplicates. School of Agriculture History. See pa- per by Professor Coates P. Bull, published in the Minnesota Alumni Weekly of April 21, 1913. School of Design, Freehand Drawing and Woodcarving. See College of engineering. School of Mines Building. Was erected in 1903 at a total cost of $61,000, the pro- ceeds of two different appropriations. The building is designed to accommodate only the technical work of the school as ade- quate building accommodations have al- ready been furnished for chemistry, geol- ogy, mineralogy, drawing and mechanical and electrical engineering. It is 150 feet long by 65 feet wide. It is a red brick building three stories high. The lower floor is occupied by the assaying and met- allurgical laboratories; the second floor contains offices, two large lecture rooms. departmental library and a museum; the third floor provides two c|uiz rooms, a. large, well lighted draughting room, thesis room, a dark room and a blue print room. The building was burned February 14th, 1913, the entire building except the walls being destroyed. The regents have voted to rebuild and remodel the building for the use of the college of education, with the expectation that, eventually, the build- ing will be used for a model school. The legislature of 1913 appropriated $54,000 for this purpose. School of Mines (new) building. The legislature of 1913 appropriated $145,000 for a new building for the school of mines. This building is to be located just north of, and facing the open space between the recently erected engineering buildings. School of Mines Bulletin is published an- nually in April. It is devoted entirely to information concerning the alumni of the school of mines. A complete record of each alumnus is published from the time of graduation to the time of publication of the bulletin. The school of mines so- ciety issues this publication and sends it to every alumnus of the school. School of Mines Society, The. This or- ganization is maintained by the students of the school of mines for the purpose of promoting the interests of the students in mining topics. The society provides monthly lectures by its own members, prominent alumni of the school and others who can be obtained for the purpose. The society publishes an annual report con- taining a report of the year's work and up-to-date list of the alumni of the school. School of Traction Engineering. This school was established in 1908 and pro- vides instruction in traction engineering to prepare men for the operation and care of traction engines and similar machinery. The work is given each year beginning about the middle of May. Originally no entrance requirement was specified, but at the present time a year's experience with either a plowing or threshing outfit is re- quired. 332 persons have completed the prescribed work of this course.

Science Club was organized 1910, it in- cludes members of the faculty of the de- partment of agriculture and others con- nected with the institution. Meetings are held on the first Monday evening of each month. The purpose of the club is to bring those connected with the agriculture col- lege and station in closer touch with one another and with many lines of work car- ried on in the several divisions. Science, Literature and the Arts, The College of. This college was provided in the charter of the University and was or- ganized by the regents at the very begin- ning, along with the college of agriculture and mechanic arts. The work of this course extended from the grades to the completion of work for the bachelor's de- gree, and the revised plan adopted in July 1871, looked toward the providing of ad- vanced work leading to corresponding ad- vance degrees. The preparatory work was dropped off "-radually, preparatory classes being discontinued in 1874, 1876 and the final preparatory class being dropped in 1890. Admission to this college is based upon the completion of a full four-year high school course or its equivalent, with the grade passed with credit (or pass plus or good, according to the notation). The college course embraces four years and leads to the degree of bachelor of arts. This college also gives the first three years of the Course in Arts and Medicine, leading to the degrees of P). A. and M. D., of the course in arts and den- tistry, leading to the degrees of B. A. and D. D. S.; the first two years of the course in science and medicine, leading to the de- grees of B. S. and M. D., of the course in education, leading to the degree of B. A. in education, and of tiie course in law, lead- ing to the degree of bachelor of laws. As originally organized this college pro- vided courses in tiie classics, in science and literature and the degrees granted were bachelor of arts, science, or literature. In 1899, provision was made for offering work in a so-called civic course, leading to the degree bachelor of philosophy and one class, of ten members, was graduated in 1901. Beginning with the year 1901-02, all distinction in courses was abolished and the course was made more largely elective and all completing the course were given the degree bachelor of arts. Until the beginning of the year, 1893-94, the work of the junior and senior years was not wholly elective, though from the very beginning some provision has been made for elective work in these two years, the amount being gradually increased until the year 1893-94, when all of the work of these two years was made entirely elec- tive. The work of the freshman and soph- omore years was, however, outlined with rare chances to secure options up to about the middle of the nineties, when the elec- tive system, hedged in by more or less stringent regulations, had become fairly well established as a principle. From that time on until the opening of the year 1904 when the work of these years was made practically elective, the principle made pro- gress and finally resulted in the work of the whole course being made elective, with but few restrictions. The chief restrictions of the curriculum which went into operation the present j^ear (1913-14) are the following: I. The student must complete a major subject, consisting of 24 credits in one de- partment, and two minor subjects, con- sisting of 12 credits in each of two depart- ments. 2. He must so seclect his subjects in the freshman and sophomore years as to rep- resent each of the three groups in lan- guage, science and the humanities. 3. He must secure in the junior and senior years 36 credits in so-called starred courses, a starred course being an ad- vanced course, open only to juniors, sen- iors, and graduates. 4. He must secure an average of good in half his subjects. This college has fifty-one professors, seven associate professors and thirty-seven assistant professor, fifty-nine instructors and a large number of scholars and as- sistants. A large portion of the work of this college, was formerly carried on in the old main and is now housed in Folwell Hall. Pillsbury Hall, the Chemical labora- tory building, the Librarj' building and the Physical Laboratory building, also help to house the college. This college did not have a dean until the year 1903-04. The afTairs of the college are governed, as in 160 THE MINNESOTA the case of other colleges, by the faculty, subject in all matters of unusual import- ance to the action of the board of regents. The tuition charged in this college is $30 a year and double this sum for non- residents. See also report of Dean in The President's Report for 1911-12.

Seed Testing Laboratory. Since 1909 the department of botany and plant pathology, of the college of agriculture and experi- ment station, has been conducting seed tests and doing what it could to induce the people of the state to test all seeds before planting the same. The legislature of 1913 passed an act requiring that all seed sold in Minnesota should bear a certificate showing the result of such test. The act appropriated $S,ooo annually to support a laboratory to make such tests and placed the administration of the law in the hands of the Minnesota Agricultural Experi- ment Station. The law went into eflfect July ist, 1913, and the work has been organized and placed in the hands of the department of plant pathology, the actual work being under the direct supervision of Professor W. L. Oswald. The work of the department is directed to the following ends: — First — Agents will inspect seed sold in the state; second — Free purity and germination tests of seeds will be made for residents of the state; third — Short courses will be offered from time to time so that anyone can learn the correct methods of seed testing; fourth — Experimental work will be done along the line of seed testing; Fifth — General bulle- tins will be published from time to time; Sixth — The laboratory, through education- al methods, will endeavor to improve the seed trade of Minnesota. Seitz, Conrad, cashier, business office, 1912 to date. Self-supporting Students. Students of the University, to a very large degree, are either partially or wholly self-supporting. The location of the University in the Twin Cities makes it possible for a large num- ber of students to do this. The kinds of employment secured by students to help pay their own way, is limited only by the kinds of work available in a large city. Everything that anyone can do is attempt- ed by the students. Students who have learned a trade before coming to the Uni- versity find it a comparatively easy mat- ter to earn a large proportion of their ex- penses while attending the University. For a fuller statement of this matter, see bulle- ALUMNI WEEKLY 161 tin, published in 1899, containing five pa- pers written by students who made their way through the University. See also ex- penses of students, in this dictionary. Selvig, Conrad G., was born it Rushford. Minn., October I , ^«^V ^^' ^'^7'^> of Scandinavian par- * ents; graduate from the Uni- versity College of Education. 1907, and took his master's de- gree the following year. Mr. Selvig had had considerable experience in school work be- fore coming to the University. In 1910 he was chosen to take charge of the Northwest (Crookston) school of agriculture and ex- periment station and has been in charge since that date. Sem. Bot., organized in 1886 at the Uni- versity of Nebraska, has established an allied convocation at the University of Minnesota. It is essentially a research society in botany, composed of the botan- ical staff and of advanced students in the department. It meets alternately in con- vocation and in chapter to present the re- sults of investigation, and for discussion. Senate of the University. The Senate of the University was created by act of the Board of Regents adopted May 6, 1912. The Senate succeeded the University Coun- cil which had been in existence for a num- ber of years previous. The membership of the Senate includes the President, who has suspensive veto over any action of the Senate, the deans who act as advisers to the President, the librarian, the president and professors emeriti, and all professors and associate professors. The registrar is clerk of the Senate and custodian of its records. The Senate has both legislative and administrative authority over all mat- ters concerning the University as a whole. See minutes of the Board of Regents of May 6, 1912 for constitution. Senior Adviser System^ In the spring of 1913, the faculty, on recommendation of the academic student council of the University, adopted a Senior Adviser Sys- tem, by which members of the senior class, chosen at the close of the junior year, will be assigned a definite number of incoming freshmen with whom the adviser is expect- ed to keep in close touch during their first year in college. The adviser is required to report to the committee on student work twice a month, ofifering any sugges- tions that may appear to him to be desir- able. He is expected to know the students in his group, their habits, conditions of living, scholastic preparation and all the environments that affect their life as stu- dents of the University. Senior Annual (Northwestern School of Agriculture). Founded by the senior class of 1913. This is an annual published by the senior students in the school of agri- culture at Crookston, Minn., and occu- pies the same relative position in the life of the student body of that school as does the Agrarian in the school of agriculture at St. Anthony Park. Senior Engineer's Society. Organized in 1906 for the purpose of bringing its mem- bers into closer union and co-operation and to strengthen the bonds of friendship among its members. It was not until the spring of 1907, however, that the idea of making it a permanent organization was brought up and steps taken to carry it out. It is not the intention of the founders that it should become an exclusive society, but rather a nucleus of representative men about which the college life of the whole senior class may center.

He was elected as dele- gate to Congress from Wisconsin in 1848 and immediately took measures of intro- ducing a bill for the organization of a new territory to include what is now Minne- sota, which was then, he contended, a part of Wisconsin; it was only after a long and bitter contest and owing largely to the tact and energy of Mr. Sibley, this bill be- came a law March 3, 1849 on the last day before Congress adjourned. The new territory of Minnesota at once unanimously elected Mr. Sibley its first delegate to Congress. In 1853 he returned to private life and in the following year was chosen to represent Dakota county in the territorial legislature. He took a prom- inent part in forming the constitution for the State, being chairman of one of the two conventions that simultaneously pro- duced the constitution under the enabling act. Mr. Sibley was chosen first governor of the State of Minnesota, his term ex- pired Jan. I, i860. General Sibley had command of the forces that were raised to quell the Indian outbreak, which occurred August 1862. He made a brilliant success in this expedition and in 1865 was appoint- ed brevet major general for efficient and meritorious services. From this time to the end of his life Mr. Sibley was actively engaged in business. Sidener, Charles Frederick.

Standing Tax Levy. The University re- ceives a considerable portion of its income for current expenses from the tax levy of 23-100 of a mill. This plan was first adopt- ed by the Legislature of 1893, and was to go into force August ist. 1894. The tax was then fixed at 15-100 of a mill and was afterwards changed to 23-100 of a mill._ It was evidently the intention of the legisla- ture to have this tax levied and collected and in the treasury to the credit of the University on the first day of the fiscal year next ensuing, and to this end, there was appropriated $60,000 as an emergency measure to provide for the one year that must ensue before this plan could be put into operation. Governor Nelson vetoed this item in the appropriation bill and the University was without resources to pay its professors, salaries and current expense bills. The state auditor ruled that the money which had been received from the levy was available as soon as it was in the treasury and all auditors who have come after him have allowed this practice. The legislatures also, ten of which have met and made appropriations for the sup- port of the University, have also acted up- on the assumption that this was the prac- tice to be followed. This fact causes the temporary deficiency nearly every year during the months of June and July and sometimes May, and also accounts for the actual surplus which exists upon the first of each August. The board of regents, have, in all their reports shown clearly the facts in the case and custom has sanctioned the practice which was at first technically not in accordance with the act of the legis- lature imposing this tax for the purpose specified.

At the organization of the Uni- versity, the theory was that the state should furnish education absolutely free to everybody who came. The only charges made in the early days were a charge of $5 for "incidental" expenses and a, fee to cov- er the cost of laboratory material, in courses where such material was used. This so-called, incidental fee, was used to cover petty expenses and was not, until later years turned over to the state, but used during the year and any unexpended balance was turned over to the treasurer of the University at the close of the year. This plan obtained until 1889, when a law was passed changing the whole system of accounting and requiring all fees to be turned into the state treasury. Prior to that time the laboratory fees had been col- lected by the departments concerned and expended for supplies to take the place of those consumed. With the establishment of the strictly professional departments, law and medi- cine, tuition was fixed on the general un- derstanding that the tuition should pay a considerable portion of the running ex- penses of these departments, the state fur- nishing the plant. In actual practice, how- ever, the fee fi.xed has had little logical re- lation to the cost of maintenance of the colleges. Fees have been increased from time to time, general increase being made in 1898 and 1902. The general policy in the changes made being to reduce the fees in all departments to a flat rate covering all charges for tuition and laboratory ma- terial. At the present time the rates are as follows: — Required of every student in colleges of collegiate grade, annual deposit fee, $5, payable at registration — ist year medical and dental students are required to pay a $10 fee; a charge of $5 is made for an ex- amination to remove a condition at other than regular fixed dates, and $5 for an ex- amination for credit for work done out of class, unless such examination is taken during the first six weeks after first enroll- inent at the University. Incidental fees are payable, one half on registration at the opening of each semes- ter.

University and Agriculture. See Minne- sota Alumni Weekly of September 30, 1912; see also pamphlet upon "What the department of agriculture has done and is planning to do for agriculture in Minne- sota," by Dean Woods, published by the University. University Band, The, is an official organization connected with the military department of the University and has been maintained since the department was first organized at this institution. The Univer- sity provides an instructor who is known as the director of the band. The band gives public concerts, plays for the cadet corps on drill days and upon various pub- lic occasions about the University. University Bulletins, The, published by authority of the board of regents twelve times a year — every four weeks during the University year. Bulletins sent gratuitous- ly, postage paid, to all persons who apply for them. University Catholic Association was established in 1901 and has a membership of 200. Its purpose is to more closely unite the Catholic students of the University and to foster a feeling of good will and good fellowship between Catholics and Protes- tants, and by conduct and influence to pro- mote the moral and religious life of the University. Meetings are held every Sun- day afternoon during the college year and semi-annual receptions, informal parties and an annual picnic are provided. University Colors, old Gold and maroon. It does not appear tliat the University colors were ever officially selected and de- signated as the University colors. In the early days of the University, sometime be- tween 1876 and 1880, President Folwell asked Mrs. Augusta Norwood Smith to select ribbon for the diplomas. Mrs. Smith, who was preceptress and instructor in English, chose the maroon and old gold and they made such a favorable impres- sion that they were used the following year and gradually, without formal action of any kind, became recognized as the University colors. University Council. This organization was established by act of the Board of Re- gents taken May 31, 1905. The member- ship of this board included the president of the University, the deans of the various colleges and schools and one elected rep- resentative from each school or college for every four hundred students or major frac- tion thereof, and one representative from the General Alumni Association. The duties of this Council were similar to t'hose which were later assumed by the University Senate, an organization which superseded this organization, May 6, 1912. University Extension. The Minnesota Alumni Weekly of March 24th, 1913, contains a very full statement of the Uni- versity extension work offered by the Uni- versity during the year 1912-13. University Extension Service. For many years the University has offered more or less extensive courses of lectures to com- munities desiring the same. Outside the agricultural department such work was practically unorganized and it was not un- til recent years that a definite and positive effort was made to do systematic work in such lines. The legislature of 1909 made an appropriation of $10,000 to encourage extension work in education and econom- ics. The time was ripe for the movement and the idea spread with great rapidity and now employs the whole time of a consid- erable corps of instructors, lecturers and demonstrators. In the line of agriculture and home eco- nomics, the University was one of the first in the field, and such courses were offered and attracted large numbers as far back as '82-83. The attendance upon these courses reached the respectable total of 1,183. Then for a few years, the authori- ties seem not to have appreciated the sig- nificance of this movement and the work was dropped entirely. It was not resumed with anything like the previous success until 1885, when the farmers' institute work was started by the University. From that day to the present the agricultural de- partment has been doing an ever increas- ing amount of such work, until at the pres- ent time, there is not a part of the state but feels the results of the work.

Agri- cultural extension. The following is a fairly comprehensive statement of the work at present offered by the University. University of Minnesota Alumni Weekly. THE CAMPUS, UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA Each dot represents a place where university rep- resentatives in person carried on educational work in 1911-2. Correspondence course centers are not included.

University Fellowship Association. This association was organized and articles of incorporation and by-laws were adopted March loth, i888. The association was the outgrowth of a preliminary meeting called by C. J. Rockwood and others at the West Hotel, February 22, of the same year. The association raised money to support fel- lowships at the University by subscriptions, most of the subscriptions being one hun- dred dollars each, payable one-fifth each year for a term of years. The total amount raised and distributed in this way was ap- proximately $3,700. The following named persons received $250 each as follows for the years indicated: — 1888-89, U. S. Grant.

ALUMNI WEEKLY 191 versity by the gift of $113,000 from the estate of the late Dr. and Mrs. A. F. Elliot, devised to the University, for this specific purpose, by heir executor, Walter J. Trask, Esq., the medical faculty petitioned the board of regents to provide for the equip- ment of temporary hospitals. This petition was granted and appropriations for equip- ment and maintenance were obtained from the legislatures of 1907 and igog. Four of the residence buildings, acquired with the purchase of the new campus, were set apart for this purpose and equipped to provide 44 beds. These were maintained for over two years and gave the faculty an oppor- tunity to organize its hospital system and to try out the new problems which the undertaking presented, before the first of the permanent buildings became available. Under this system, only free patients are admitted to the University hospitals, and these come from all parts of the state. Ad- mission is granted to suitable cases upon certificate of a local or county physician vouching for the indigent circumstances of the patient and stating the character of his complaint. The service is divided into three major clinics, medicine, surgery, and obstetrics, among which the available beds are divided. Special cases of nervous dis- order, of diseases of the eye, ear, nose, and throat, and of children's diseases are espec- ially provided for under these clinics. The acceptance of the Elliot bequest by the legislature was encouraged by the gift of $42,000 by citizens of Minneapolis toward the purchase of a site. The long delay, in- cident to the acquirement of the new campus, in realizing the hospital project, added $7000 in interest to the original be- quest and two legislatures further increased this amount by an appropriation of $40,000 for the enlargement of the building and of $48,000 for its equipment. THE ELLIOT MEMORIAL HOSPI- TAL was not completed and ready for oc- cupancy until late in the summer of 191 1. It was dedicated, with appropriate exercis- es, on September 5th of that year. It is delightfully situated upon the high bluffs overlooking the River road, on the east and west bend of the Mississippi. It com- mands a fine view of the river to the east and of the city to the west. It is four stories and basement in height, built of Danville brick, with Bedford stone trim- mings, and is thoroughly modern in type of construction and in design. It has proved necessary still to maintain a number of temporary residences for nurses' homes, servants' quarters, steam laundry, superintendent's home, and isola- tion wards. Following the dedication of the Elliot Memorial, the wards of the hospital rapidly filled and its superintendent is commonly obliged to carry a long waiting-list. It has already justified itself, not only on the score of its educational values, but, also, as an economic asset of the state. It is maintained under a support fund of $80,000. a year. University hospitals. The first report of the superintendent, covering from March 22, igog to July 31, igi2, shows that during the period covered by the report 1864 cases were admitted to the hospital. Of this num- ber 1665 were discharged and 123 died, 76 remaining in the hospital on the date of July 31st, 1912. The average number of patients for the last year of the period was 82.25. 718 clinics have been held and 75 necropsies performed. The average cost per patient per diem for the same period was $2.16. The number of patients treated in the University Free Dispensary, the out-patient department of the hospital for the year ending July 31st, 1912, was 9229. The to- tal number of visits were 33,190, giving a dail" average attendance of 109 in this de- partment. The cost per patient's visit was i/c. 13,513 prescriptions were issued during the year. The report shows that from October, 191 1, to July, 1912, inclusive, 4948 labora- tory examinations were made in connec- tion with the work of the hospital. Practic- ally every county in the state has been rep- resented in tlie patients in the hospital, 567 cases were medical; 942 surgical; 187 ob- stetrical; 159 births and 9 infants. Of the medical cases that were admitted, 82 were discharged recovered; 350 improved; yy not improved and 58 died. Of the surgical cases 408 were discharged recovered; 382 improv- ed; 103 not improved and 49 died. The Elliot hospital building is supple- mented by the use of a brick flat, 417-419 Delaware Street, as a nurses' home; a frame building, 324 Union street, also used as a nurses' home; a frame building at 413 Delaware street as a domestics' home; a frame building at 304 State street, as sup- erintendent's residence and a frame build- ing at 303 Washington avenue held in re- serve for contagious cases developing at the Elliot Memorial building.

ALUMNI WEEKLY 193 University Song, The. The University song, Hail Min- nesota, was originally the class song of the class of 1904. The song so appealed to the student body that it soon became, by general consent, considered the Uni- versity song. The second verse of the original version of the song applied to President Northrop and was written as a tribute of the regard which the students feel for him. At President Northrop's suggestion, this verse was dropped and a second verse, written by Arthur Upson, '05, was substituted there- for. The song as it is now sung, consists of the first verse of the original, composed by Truman Rickard, '04, in collaboration with Rev. E. W. Shurtlefif, and the second verse from the pen of Mr. Upson. The music was composed by Mr. Rickard. Hail! Minnesota. Minnesota, hail to thee. Hail to thee our college dear; Thy light shall ever be A beacon bright and clear; Thj^ sons and 'daughters true Will proclaim thee near and far; They will guard thy fame And adore thy name; Thou shalt be their Northern Star. Like the stream that bends to sea Like the pine that seeks the blue; Minnesota, still for thee Thy sons are strong and true. From thy woods and waters fair; From thy prairies waving far. At thy call they throng With their shout and song Hailing thee their Northern Star. See Minnesota Alumni Weekly of April 22. 1907, page 10. See also Forty years of the University of Minnesota. University in the Spanish-American War. The total number of alumni, and students who served in the war against Spain, was 218. Of this number 52 were in the Uni- versity at the time of enlistment. 53 reached the rank of commissioned officers; there were 165 privates. 28 graduates of the University enlisted; 135 of those enlist- ed have never graduated. 83 of those en- listed from the University have graduated from the University either before or since the war. One man enlisted and serving in the war has since enrolled in the Univer- sity. University Spring, The. In the early days of the University this spring was used to supply water to the University, a hy- draulic ram raising the water to the build- ings. Later the use of the hydraulic ram discontinued and the class of 1885 built a wall about the spring and fixed it up as a memorial. The spring was the source of drinking-water supply for many families living in southeast Minneapolis for many years. Owing to changes about the Uni- versity and grounds the underground feed- ers of the spring were diverted and the spring ceased to exist. University track records (special indoor events).

The University year covers a period of thirty-eight weeks be- ginning on the second Tuesday in Septem- ber, Commencement day being always the second Thursday in June. Up to 1901, the year was divided into three terms, the first ending at Thanksgiving time and the sec- ond about the last of February. The schools of agriculture have two terms, the first beginning about the first of October and running to Christmas time and the second from the first of January until late in March. The Dairy school term runs during December and the short course for farmers during January and part of Feb- ruary. The summer schools are in ses- sion from close of regular school year until about August ist. University Yell. Rah! Rah! Rah! Ski-U-Mah! Hoo-rah! Hoo-rah! 'Varsity! 'Varsity! Minn-so-ta! also — Rah!

Up to and including the class of 1888 the valedictorian and saluta- torian were elected by the members of the class, without any specific reference to the question of scholarship. Beginning with the class of 1889, these honors were made a reward of scholarship, the valedictory going to the highest and the salutatory to the second highest student in point of scholarship. These honors were always confined to the members of the senior class of the college of science^ literature and the arts. This custom was kept up until the commencement of 1899, when President Northrop delivered the first commencement address. From that time on student speakers for commencement exercises have been dispensed with. So long as the old custom of student orations was followed the salutatory was always given in Latin.

West Central (Morris) School of Agri- culture and Experiment Station, The leg- islature of 1909 accepted from the national government the gift of property formerly used for an Indian school located at Mor- ris, Minn. This school was originally vi^ork opened October 3, 1910, with courses similar to those offered at the school of agriculture at St. Anthony Park. During the first year 103 students were enrolled. The following year 93 students were enrolled. The original farm com- prised 292 acres and some 75 acres addi- tional have been rented for the use of the school. At the date of the opening of the school the following buildings were in use: Office, $15,000; agronomy, $12,000; Home econom- ics, $12,000; dining hall, $20,000; laundry, $4,000; hospital, $10,000; cottage, $2,500; warehouse, $1,500; ice house, $100; morgue, $200; machine shed, $50; barn, $2,500; si- lo, $450; total, $80,300. The experimental work done at this place opened in the early eighties as a Catholic Indian mission school. Later the gov- ernment took over this school and made it a real government school for Indians. It was always maintained, however, as a non-reservation school. In accordance with the general policy of the govern- ment, it was decided to discontinue work at this school, hence the ofifer to the state of Minnesota.

Minnesota has unquestionably the best public school system in the country, thousands of common schools, semi-graded and graded schools high and normal schools and culminating in the splendid State University with an enrollment of over 5000. Minnesota now has a permanent school fund of more than $23,030,000, permanent University and other funds of $5,000,000, or a total of more than $30,000,000. We still have 2,500,000 acres of land belonging to these trust funds which from their timber and iron ore will ultimately produce trust funds of $200,000,000, the largest of any state organization in the world. Good roads are the rule rather than the exception. A large part of the school lands are found in the neighborhood of beautiful inland lakes, abounding in fish of all kinds. Large and small game in abundance. The soil is fertile and all crops that can be profitably raised in other parts of the state will thrive here. No "final fee" or "final proof" necessary.

The Quaker Creamery Co. Dr. P. M. Hall said in the Tribune of August 13th.~-"Let us suggest that pas- teurization affords the greatest protection at the present time." No milk or cream leaves the Quaker Creamery Co. 's plant without first being pasteurized. Why buy impure milk when you can get pasteurized milk? The State of Minnesota Dairy and Food Commissioners gave us a score of 96 at the time they inspected our plant. The City Milk Inspector, Mr. J. Johnson, gave us a score of 96. There is no other plant in the Northwest that will show such a score. Buy Quaker milk, cream, butter and ice cream and get the best.
