Mr.. EDITOR BY request I will send
you few items, hoping that they will be

patrons.
The University opened with a large
number of students. A greater part of
the old students are back. together with
recruit of eighty-tive Freshmen. All
express themselves as having had a
pleasant time this summer. The old
practice of hazing is quite abandoned.
consequently the ''Fresh'' are more hos
pitably received than heretofore.
The general health in and around this
place seems to be remarkably good. |
believe the prevalent disease is nostalgia.
1t is not unfrequent to hear Fresh
express his desire Ito go home"

Board of Education.

A special meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation was held yesterday afternoon with a
bare quorum present The meeting was
called for the purpose of considering the
question of an addition to the Lincoln
school building in order to accommodate
the children in the primary department,
plans of which were submitted. The plans
submitted were for one story addition at a
cost of $500. The members present were
President Oppenheim, and Inspec-
tors Benz, Wilgus, Kerker, Gill
bert, Hamilton and Athey.
AS it requires two-thirds vote of q full
board to appropriate money for any pur-
pose, nothing could be done beyond an in
formal talk. President Oppenheim stated
that something must be done to provide
for the primary department of the public
schools in that portion of the city, and i'm
mediate action should be taken. The plan
submitted was for single stery, and there
was diversity of opinion between the in
spectors present as to whether it would not
be better to make it a two-storw addition.
AS nothing positive could be done, the
board adjourned until this evening at 8
O'Clock
