leader was prisoner. He had an i'm

a Change,

At meeting of the faculty of the
university a change was proposed in
the curriculum which, if adopted, will
revolutionize the whole system of uni
versity work. The amendment was
offered by Professor Woodbridge, and
recommends the introduction of the
semester plan, which prevails 80 gen-
orally throughout eastern colleges.
Along with this change is proposed
the adjustment of all degrees except
that of bachelor of arts, this to be con-
ferred upon students who have COM
pleted forty-eight four-hour subjects
during their course If the proposed
plan is adopted. instead of the first
two years being required work, the
four years course will be divided into
forty-eight term subjects, of which
twenty-four will be compulsory, to be
taken, however, any time during the
four years, and the other twenty-four
to be elective, as at present.
The matter was turned over to the
committee on curriculum, consisting
OF Professors Nachtrieb, Jones, Dow
ney, Woodbridge, Hale, Hutchinson
and Clark.

ST. Paul, March 2o.-The greatest
fight of the session terminated in the
house yesterday by the passage of the
bill increasing the tax on railroad gross
earnings from 8 to per cent by vote
of 7s to SO. This bill was supposed to
be irretrievably dead last week, but its
friends shrewdly resurrected it, and
when it was reached on it's merits the
members did not dare to vote against it.
The house committee on public build
ings reported out the capitol bill giving
a million dollars to the new capitol,
with the recommendation that it pass.
There will be no opposition to it in the
house, and it has already passed the
senate
Both houses have passed what is
known as the Younger bill 1t allows
life prisoners, after serving 35 years, to
be paroled. The Youngers are the only
prisoners at Saltwater corresponding
to this description, and they will doubt
less avail themselves of the new law by
applying to the board of pardons for
release
The senate yesterday thought better
of including the state officers, congress
sional and judicial candidates in the
primary election law, and reconsidered
the amendment adopted Thursday
placing those positions under the law
The bill Twas then made the special or.
der for next Tuesday.
