University Notes /

Mr.. Charlese W. Gilmore. a graduate
of the University of Wyoming and now
a paleontologist in the Carnegie Mus
cum of Pittsburgh. has written an ar
ticle on The Discovery of Teeth In
"Baptanodon; an Ic~hthyosaurian from
the Jurassic of Wyoming" The speci-
mems he discusses We're collected by
Mr.. o. E. Peterson during the summer
OF 1900. on Sheep creek. Albany coun-
ty, Wyoming. 1t would be well if the
people of the state generally would
take notice Of fossils that they find,
location and character so as to find
out if they are of any scientific value.
An inexperienced person should not
attempt to dig out a large fossil, or in
any way disturb it. since it is often
the case hat the Importance of the
fossil depends on knowledge of the eX-
act part of the strata in which it is
lying; and by careless handling or
even removal, before notes are taken.
it may lose its value. Any fossil
leaves. shells or bones sen to the uni
versity will be identified free of
charge.
The last week has been a gala week
for the seniors. Twelve Of them have
delivered orations, four on each of the

unseemly hours for drill. since their
regular hours have beer desired by the
upper classmen. All students have
had to attend assembly two times per
week, and even football practice the
day before the Cheyenne game had to
be postponed. But one thing has mar
red their general superiority: some un-
principled lower classman has sacri-
legiously made away with some cap
and gown at every recital, and the vic
tim had to appear like a black sheep
in the fold. This will not occur next
term. however, as the sophs. have. by
special request, agreed to take the sem
iors and the caps and gowns under
their fostering wing next term. The
series of orations was closed last ev-
ening when the following were deliv
