Twenty-Five years of continuous ser
vice in the state university with a to-
tai vacation time scarcely amounting
to twenty weeks, That is the official
record of Miss Ellen Smith, who for the
past twenty years has filled the office
of university registrar. At the end of
the present year her relations with the
institution will probably cease and in
her will disappear the last sturdy char
acter that has labOred zealOusly from
the beginning for the upbuilding of the
school of the people.
Miss Smith came to the university
April l, 1877, as instructor in Latin and
Greek. She taught in various depart
ments and for a time served as Gus
todian of the library. When the regis
trar's office was created in the fall of
1881 she was placed in charge. For
many years work in the library and
her duties as a teacher engrOssed her
panded she confined herself more
strictly to the affairs of the registrars
office. Finally during the last few
years she has been provided with as
sistants.
Tales and anecdotes of Miss Smith
and her dealings with the students
The courier., 1902-02-22

have descended from time immemorial
The freshmen first hear them with awe
and terror when they troop on the
campus for the first time. The depart
ing seniors review them, embellished
with bits of imagination, in their last
festal revelries on graduation eve.
Keeping track of the progress made
by the students. their grades or cred
its and other matters concerning their
class progress occupied the time of

view to register" Delinqucnts she

And so on all day long. And a day
with Miss Smith is no joke. 1t means
twelve to fifteen hours solid work.
Glasses have come and gone. Stu
dents have left college to win fame
and renown. Professors have sought
new fields for higher salaries. Chan
cellors, too, have sought greener fields
where millionaires pay the bills with
plump contributions. But Miss Smith
has given her life to the upbuilding of
the state university and the story of
it's rising is intimately linked with her
long career of faithful service.

chemicals, books and apparatus. Stoves

Rumors of an eastern trip Miss
Smith positively denied. She declared
she had lived here because she liked
the state and its people. Here she in
tended To remain.
The registrar was educated at Hills
dale college, Michigan. graduating In
1866 Afterwards she took "a masters
degree from the same institution.
She is a native of Ohio. Ashtabula
county, where her sister stiIl lives on
the parental homestead.
Thousands of students who have been
Influenced by Miss Smith during their
college lives have heard of her retire
ment with profound regret. From all
sides come messages expressing sorrow
on account of the present state of af-
fairs and assuring her of the affection
and sympathy of the senders.

Nebraska has it's cowboys but no
one hears complaint of them such as
that which has been reused by the saw
age pastimes of their cOunterparts IN
Montana. Their hilarious manner of
greeting passenger trains on the Great
Northern has excited the wrath of Big
Jim Hill and he is in hopes of discour-
aging them. The time is not as busy
as some periods with the cowboys and
for a sight of civilization they rush
down upon a train that stops at sta
ton. Whooping and firing their re-
volvers they scare the porters white
headed and chill the marrow of the
timid passengers. The shooting is only
to make holes in the sky but because
some of the passengers have made
plaint to Manager Hill he is hoping to
take measures to put a stop to the pro-
ceedings 1t is hinted that even those
who kick hardest begin to feel proud
of their experience as soon as it is
over with.
Wolf hunting is quite the vogue in
some parts of the state, as is usual at
this time of the year, but it is in Colo
radO where the wolves are really max
ing serious trouble for the stock men.
For instance, in ROutt county, in the
northwest corner of Colorado, the
beasts have become so thick and so
disastrous to the cattle that the rang
ers have put a big fund in bank and
have offered $50 per scalp for each
wolf killed. Some of the rancherS have
lost as many as eighty head of cattle
so far this season by the depredationS
of the wolves. This is getting to be a
rate too much for the patience and
pOise of the cattlemen. Every year
more or less wolf hunting has been
done there but it has been in an idle,
indiscriminate way and not much has
been accomplished toward the EXTERN
inatiOn of the brutes. Now the county
has been pOrtiOned off into districts
with one hunter to each. He is in
structed not to go beyond his bOundar-
les The scheme is working we'll and
with the inducement of $40 a head the
men gladly cut themselves off in this
manner from the walks and ways of
civilization.

bulletin to the teachers. calling their
attention to the advantages which
the board offers for physical develop
ment and exercise.
The bulletin reads:
"According To a resolution passed by
the boardof education al its last meet
ing. lessons in physical training will
be given to teachers in the evening
schools The only schools which have
proper equipment are the Englewood
and Medill high schools. Teachers who
wish to participate should apply tothe
principals Of the above schools and
suggest what evening they would give
the preference. Participants are ex-
pected to have special gymnasium
suits"
II Is expected that all Of the Younger
teachers viii take advantage of the
