UNIVERSITY NOTES.
The ,a1s are minors.

The '91s are juniors.
The S. e. A. has a conspicuous bull
letin board Oh the campus.
Entrance examinations begin Tues
day, Sept. 8, ats O'Clock, in the chapel.
Lessons will be assigned Sept. 10, and
regular recitations will commence Sept.
IL.
The new law building, just north of
the main building, will be ready for oc-
cupancy by Oct. l.
The boys parlor has been furnished
with new rugs and paper. Will. they
use them with care?
The collection in the museum has
been removed to Plllsbury science hall,
and the rooms are being fitted up for
recitation rooms.
L The almost noiseleSS and easily kept
linoleum on the lower hall pleaseS the
returning professors and students no
less than the congenial Jantor.
The chapel stage has a new carpet.
Janitor Yattow has had $1,000 of repair
ing done in the various buildings, and
the main building got the most. KalSo-
mining received a good share.
The juniors and seniors have sent in
their registration slips better this year
than ever before, so the completion of
registration under the new registrar, e.
b. johnson, promises to be reached
early.
The committee appointed by the
Students Christian association to learn
the location of desirable rooms for STU
dents, together with price, proximity to
meals, etc., is now at work. and in ad-
dition to the above will secure the
church denomination, il any, of the
family offering rooms. This, it is
thought. may both please and proSt
some of the students seeking rooms.
and the churches may be benefited.
Any having rooms to let to students
will do well to advise K. G. Babcock,
SIT Fifteenth avenue southeast. Stu
dents desiring rooms will also be &C
commodated if they apply. No fees.
An attempt to secure employment for
students desiring it will also be made.
The library has been remodeled, and
now the intruder who comes to eX-
change book, open the door or glance
at the morning paper will annoy only
the librarian and a few who 'Sit up
'front.'" The librarians desk has been
moved in front and facing the door, and
about ten feet from it. A gate at the
left, by the paper stand, will allow
students to pass in and occupy the en-
tire eastern half of the room. A railing
running the long way of the room Will
carefully guard the treasured volumes
in the western half. This largely pro-
tects the reading room from the public.
Reference books will line the entire
eastern wall.
r." 'S9 Essayons" still hangs in the
chapel, but great transformation of
the needed sort has been wrought. No
more will the sitting air choke the stu
dents OH entering the recitation room,
nor the freezing gale, fresh from the
froStS of Labrador, chill their warmeSt
blood. Smiths system OF heating and
ventilating, with it's fans and ducts, at
a cost of 81, 200, gives promise of better
health among students and professors.
The system in brief is this: Every
room is supplied with aventilation duct,
terminating above the roof and opening
into the room at the, bottom. For
warming, the air, after being heated. is
famed into a large chamber the width
of the lower hall, running the entire
length and three feet deep. From this
reservoir a duct, constantly open, con-
veys the air into each room, the residue
being received at the top by chamber
similar to the one below, from which
another fan draws it and dispels it
through an open door in what used to
be Prof. Clark's study. The fans re-
quire three horse power each to run
them, but eight will be allowed for run
ming the two. A TEST of the new system
will be made tomorrow (Monday). The
old steam pipes will be allowed to re-
main for use in case OF need in eX-
tremely cold weather.
