With the entire debt on Dakota Wes leyan university pald, President Samuei | Kerfoot has commenced on the task of | | providing for some additional and highiy necessary bulldings. For years the aih-| letic side of the college has been permiited | to take care of itself to a certain extent, | in that the men who formed the teams of | foot ball base ball, basket ball and track | events have had no place In whieh to do their spring or fall training or for exer- cise in the winter months. \ | The projeet~which President Kerfoot | has mapped out means the expenditure o: | $10,000 for two 'buildings—one 4 Eymn-| naslum and.social hall, and the other for a sclence hall. ‘A fund of something like $8,000 has been started by the college stu- |dents and got together through entertain- | |mehts of a lecture course nature. Ths symnasium and soclal hall will be equ.pped | with, reception hall, pariors and an adja- | cent gymnasium rooms, which can all bs| thrown Into one vasi rocom when occasl requires. Rooms for the debating soci.ties | have been planued to be placd on the econd floor, which will be conveniint and | | comfortable. Everything In the bullding | will be modern, and it will be provided | with a swimming pool, shower baths and all the paraphernalia of the athlete. In addition to this building will erecied a science hall whieh will be wt ized for the development of chemistry, and all the sciences, tokether with a mu.| seum, and an assembly rcom which wili | seat at ledst 1,000 students. { Such, I a general way, is the outlins of the institution to provide for ths futur. President Kerfoot has already started the financlal part of ‘the undertaking, and | the nestegg for the great fund neces-ary | has been made possible through the gener. osity of James J. HIll of Great Northern | rallroad fame. In the early fall Dr. Ker- | foot had an afterngop's conf:rence with Mr. Hill concerning. the needs of the col-| be |lege In the way of an endowment and new | Jacob G. Shott of | builal and the rallroad magnate gave the president a tentatiye promiss that he would make a large donation, with some ' provisions attached. Mr. Hill has made 800d his word and in a letter to the pres ident this week he made the tender of $50,000, providing 320,000 additional would be rafsed. Mr. Hil eased up & bit on his proposition when he saia chat he would let $20,000 of his donation beoome avail able to help out on the $100,000 project In the erection of the: two bulldings. This will serve as a greater impetus to raise | the money within a shorter time. President Kerfoot has started the cam- palgn for the momey,c and $100,00 of the quarter million will be created into an| endowment fund for the institution. Dr. | Kerfoot sald that move than $100,0000 would | have to be spent in the buildings as no doubt a central heating plant would have | t0 be installed. These bulldings will bring the college Into the:forekround and will be equal, If not supsrior, to any of the | educational institutions' in ‘the state. A. Wallace MoCrea, an dtehitect of New York, has already ‘sent' out’ ome suggestive! plans and sketches which appeal very strongly to the president, and show the general outline of somie six new bulldings &rouped on the campus in the atray whion | is the ambition of the president. | A new science teacher was added shortly | after the opening of the fall term in the | person of Prof. Pinch, who is greatly appre- clated for his thorough and advanced work, and which can be compdred In a very favorable light with any institution of sim- | tlar faclli Prot. -Pinch did graduate | work at the University of Wisconsin, The musical department of the college has | been greatly improved in the last year, and | has been strengthened by the acquisition | of Marc D. Lombard, who Is now &t the | head of the plano department. Mr. Lom- | bard had just instituted a serigs of four | concerts which will be heid throughout the | year, and which will act as tests for tne’| students, not only making them systematic | in progress, but will also convey to the | people something of the work that s being | done. The first of these concerts was held | Thureday night. The force in the Con- servatory of Music Is being worked to the lmit at the present time and an additional teacher will haye to be secured before long. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN, Proposed Professorship for § Remedial Law. That the only effective method of study- Ing the weakne In the present system of administering justice would be brought about by :the establishment at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin of & professorship for the comparative and critical study of the operation of remedial law, was the most {mportant cenclusion reached by the first conference on criminology and crim- inal law held here. The judges, attorney: physicians and eriminologists who attended the conference agreed that the true lines of progress in the administration of jus- tice can be ascertained only by thorough and disinterested Investigation, and that the natural place for such a laborfous and scholarly research is the state university. The degree of popular dissatisfaction with the administration of justies in this country, the members of the cofiference be- lieved, warrants the establishment of such & ohair. There is not the least doubt, it was sald, that such ‘& progressive step would be applauded both In this country | and abroad. Not only would Wisconsin | soon be recognized as a model state in re- spect to its system of admilnistering jus-| tice, but the results of the Investigation would influence the policy of every state in the union, The committee on resolutions for the con- |terence presented the matter in its report, dy ot SCHOOLS.

The professor appointed to this chair would make an exhaustive study of the working of various forms of criminal trial and punishment in the several states in order to determine. their relative value. He would study, for instance, the precise causes of the delay In trials and punish- ment, to discover whether they are to be pttributed to needless postponement, to cumbersome proceedure, to overcrowded court dockets or to waste of judiclal power by faulty organisation of the courts. A careful study would be made of the jury system and its faults. Reversals of decls- lon on appeal in eriminal cases would be examined carefully to ascertain what pro- portion were on technicallties and prac- tice and what proportion on substantive law. The results of releasing adult first offenders on parole, the various types of juverfe courts and their workings and similar matters pertaining to the organi tion and administration of justice would also form a hasis for the professor's work. for such UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. Close to Last Year's Top Recor Registration of University of Michigan students on November 1 of this year shows & decrease of six over last year's at the corresponding time. The numbers are 4657 for 108, and 4,631 for 150. The Increase of the summer school by 124, however, raises the total registration to 5266, over last year's 5,140 Twe decided decreases are noticeable in the summary. These are in the medical and engineering departments. - The increase in requirements fn the former may affeot its enroliment partially, while thirty-seven names are registered in the llterpry €@ partment under the six-year lit-medic rul- ing. The decrease in engineering can. hardly be explatned. One prominent fact in the lterary de- partment attendance ls the Ereat increase of men. This year there are 1030 men snd 0% girls enrolled. With 5,26 students, Earellm representing forty sions and twenty-nine forelgn countries, the Univeraity of Michigan is justly en- ttled to be called cosmopolitan. Columbia has an enroliment of 4760 stu- dents; Minnesota, 4,647; Harvard, 4.87; Llii- nols, 4,300; Pennsylvania, 4,38; Y 8,489 The only state not represented at the Uni- ixity of Michigan is Delaware. Ihe north Atlantic division of states fur- nishes Michigan with 620 students; the south Atlantle, elghty-one; the south ocentral, ninety; the north central, 3,600, and the western division, 20. Fifty-four per cent of Michigan students are state residents. In this respect Michigan is followed by Northwestern with § per cent, Wisconsin with 79 per cent, Illinola with 80 per cent, and Nebraska % per cent state residents. Michigan leads in the number of students trom Indlana, . Ohlo, Arisons, Colorado, 1daho, Montana and Oregon. The number of forelgn students at Amer- lean institutions of learning is rapidly oo the Increase. During the scademic ye 1%08-9 there were 1,467 forelgnera enrolled in thirty-four American schools, 460 of whom hail from North America, 48 from Asis, 3 from Europe, 184 from South Americs, sixty-four from Australia and elghteen from Africa. In speaking of the new thirt; & half inch reflecting telescope even and tablished Hussey said: “It will be equal to the Lick scopes . tor. photograpliv ." The cost of the instrument will approximate $35,000 A feature In connection with the bullding of the big telescope is that all of the smailer parts of the mechanism were made in the university shop, which ia completely fitted for fine work. The construction of the machine began in May, 1907, and has con- tinued steadilly ever since. A gravity elock, made in the engineering shaps, is attached to the instrument by means of which the telescope s kept centered on moving aerial objects, A selsmograph outfit, equal to that pos- sessed by any observatory, is an addition to the university observatory equipment. Two extremely sensitive earthquake re- corders set in opposite dlrection, and: an instrument for recording vertical move- ments are included in the outfit, IOWA CORN SHOW BEGINS DES MOINES, Dec 6.—The annual show of the lowa Corn Grow corn assocla- |tion opened today in Des Motnes' new coli- seum.
