just graduated from college and en-
gagged, as rule, in less responsible
work than fellow. These fellowshipss
and schol arships enable the university
to encourage deserving graduates of
the colleges who wish to get on in
graduate studies, and at the same time
the university gets valuable service at

the colleges of the state, and by the
students who, heretofore, have had to
be at an expense for advanced or uni

sizing courses in ethics. Miss Mabel

be of special service in the psyschologi-
cal labratory. Mr.. Lee p. Sieg was ap-
