the past twenty years Cyrus Northrop,
LID, has been president of the Uni
versity. He came from the faculty Of
Yale University bringing to his work
here a high order Of executive ability
in addition to broad scholarship and
been very successful. At the heads
Of the several departments, schools,
and colleges are men of the highest
standing and they are ably assisted
by professors and instructors chosen
because Of ability.
A Complete System.
While entirely distinct from the Min
neapolis public school system the uni
versity is closely related to it. From
| the Minneapolis high schools Gas from
any other high school in the state
of the state authorities) students may
pass directly to the freshman class Of
| the university upon presentation OF
their diplomas.
+ It thus becomes possible for a child
| to enter the primary grade of the Min
neapolis public schools, pass thru the
successive grades to the high school,
complete the four years course there
and without Interruption take, the four
years course at the university.
r Then if a course of law, engineering,
medicine or any Of the branches of
! fered by the university is desired, it,
! may be taken in due order
These things the state and the city
give 70 thelr cltlzens. Iney explain
why Minneapolis IS SO popular among
people who have chlidren growing up.
! Many people do not like to send their
children away from home for school
4 ing; if they live in Minneapolis it is
wholly unnecessary, for the best
which the country aHords IS rlsnt aS
hand.
