A recent fashion in hair dressing is dis

of repute, is almost always injured and
frequently undermined by the wearing of
hairpins.

have shown that there is at least one

Denver, June I5.-The state university
faculty has, in accordance with recon-
mendation of a committee composed of
delegates from the three medical col
leges in Denver, voted for the consolida-

department of the state university can

as Boulder does not furnish sufficient
clinical advantages, plan was discussed
to get out of the difficulty. 1t is not

will take similar action, though it is
believed that the Gross medical college
faculty are favorable to the plan.
