PreSisent Buchanan Issues an
 Announcements

President John l.. Buchanan of the University of Arkansas has issued the following important announcement:
 s'The University of Arkansas offers special advantages for higher education to the young men and women of the state. It offers. every advantage that is offered by any other school in Arkansas, and a great number of subjects are taught here that are not in the curriculum of any other school in the state. The University is at the head of the public educational system of Ar kansas. It has a faculty of forty teachers and officers. It offers courses of instruction in a very wide range of literary, scientific and technical subjects, embrac- ing English mathematics, ancient and modern languages, history, economics, sociology, astronomy, chemistry, physics, psychology, ethics, geology ,mineralogy, civil. electrical and mechanical engi- neering, philosophy, pedagogy, biology, agriculture, horticulture, military science and tactics, vocal and instrunletal music, art, elo- cution, and physical culture.
 More than half 8 million dollars is invested in the buildings, grounds and equipment of the University. It has a beautiful campus of forty acres. Library, musems, laboratories, shops, gymnasiums, apparatus and ma- chinery furnish excellent facilities for practical instruction. 1t has a well organized, well -equiped, and well-managed normal de- partment which prepares teachers for state certificates and secures graduates positions. The mili tary department is, by the official report of the inspector general of the United States army, one of the very best of it's kind in the United States. The three stu dents of the senior class having the highest grade of merit in this department are given preferance by the president of the United States in appointing officers from cival life. Many graduates of the University are now lieuten- ants in the regular army.
 The acquaintances and friend- ships that a young man forms during his college career will be of the greatest value to him in his after life. In the University he will have the greatest opportuni- ties. The enrolment last year was nearly 700, about twice the number that attended any other school in the state. One thous- and students are appoltioned to the counties of the state, accord ing to population, and are admit i ted free of tuition in every de- partment except music. Art, elocution, oratory and physical culture, for which extra charges are made in other school, are free to all students of the University. Appointments are made by the county judges.
 The University is not a private or sectarian school. It is the property of the state of Aakansas and is supported by the United States Government, Washing ton county, the city of Fayette- vile, and the state of Arkansas. On account of the income of these sources it is enabled to offer the greatest advantages for the least. money.
 A student who desires to be economical can remain at the University for less than SlO0. No institution offers equal advan- tages at as small cost. As the state thus generously provides for the liberal and practical edu- cation of her sons and daughters, will not every citizen who feels a l pride and an interest in his own state advise all her young men and women to take advantage of the excellent opportunities to the end that these young people may be educated up to where they can be power for the strengthening and upbuilding of the state :?
