University Notes

Prof. Nelson has received a rare col
lection of plants from Mr.. Frank
Tweedy of the United States Geology
cal survey, and a botanist of consider
able distinction. Mr.. Tweedy makes
collection of plants in ~conenction with
his geological work. Since his work
carries him into many places. inacces-
sible to the ordinary collector, his
plants are unusual and interesting.
The set received represents his colec
ton for two or three years, in northern
Wyoming, mostly in the Big Horn
mountains. 1t contains upward OF 1o0
species, among which are several new
species recently described. AS not
more than three of these sets of plants
are in existence this herbarium is for
tunate in securing one. The other two
sets have gone respectively to the ma
tional herbarium at Washington I'M
to the New York Botanical garden.

The faculty were in session for sew
eral hours Monday, and there was con-
sequently fear and trembling among
the students. But it turned gu that
they were considering the new military
order Of August, 1902, requiring in
struction in military science in all gov
eminent schools. The curriculum Is
already over.crowded. 1t was decided
that each adviser. when possible.

this is impossible the student will have
to carry extra work.
