ton of the academic faculty in sus-
pending Charles Batson, business man
ager of the 1905 Gopher, from the uni
verslty for the first semester of next
year. Batson, it has developed, is a
student in the engineering school, and
as the engineering faculty was not con-
suited in the action taken Saturday at
the meeting of academic instructors,
adverse criticism to the measure taken
by. the academicians is being heard.
In fact, the academic faculty has
nothing to do with engineering students
and the action Of the faculty Saturday
can have no effect on athe Gopher bust
ness manager. He is at present in the
same status as q student in the engin-
eer1ng school as he was before the
Gopher investigation took place, and ac-
be taken to bar him from the priv
leges Of the university.
The action Of the academic faculty
cannot be justified on the ground that
the committee on student affairs, which
reported in favor Of Batson 8 suspen-
sion, is a committee for the whole
student body, as the committee is made
up entirely of members Of the academic
faculty, and the committee has hereto
Tor had nothing to do with students
outside the academic school. Even If
the committee has jurisdiction over the
engineering school, the engineering
faculty should have been consulted in
taking action in regard to engineering
students, say the friends Of Batson.
According to the present system at
the university the affairs Of the differ
ent schools are left to the deans and
faculties of the different departments,
and there is no precedent for the
academic faculty suspending or ex-
polling an engineering student.

THINGS OF THE WOOD
Mrs. Kate e. Thew, Vernon Center,
.-,-- MINI.


There are many native Towering
plants, which deserve a place among
our hardy perennials.
If you have a shady place which re-
fuses to bring forth anything but
weeds, plant the tall wood fern, COM
monty called "brake" and the dainty
maiden hair. x. -.
I know Of bed near a tree, in par
tial shade full Of maiden hair ferns,
wild dielytra and ginger-root. For deli
cate beauty Of both flower and foliage
the dielyt1a may not be surpassed. The
ginger-root hides it's cups of bloom
down near the soil and often in it. A
circular bed Of striped grass, surround
ed by purple wood-violets, is very beau
tifuI. ~
The moccasin flower bears transplant
ing well. I know of a good-sized space
devoted to them. Attic the state
flower, they are scarce. Their: abiding
place is a secret of the wood-prowler.
When you transplant, make the new
conditions as like as possible to those
of nature. If plant of the moccasin
flower, or several plants, are placed in
a pot in the fall, and brought into the
house in February, they will grow and
bloom satisfactorily.
The bleeding heart, dielytra of the
garden, may be ported in the fall,
placed in the cellar until February,
then brought to the sun. They bloom
finely with this treatment

be far better accomplished by using
vines. Like most all arrangements Of
flowers, to my idea, window boxes are
the most effective if only one or two
varieties of plants are used, such as a
box filled with scarlet geraniums; can
have a border Of either blue lobelia,
nastqrtiums, or the long trailing vines
which come in green and variegated
foliage. If anyone wishes to grow a
climber from inside of box, tall mas
turtiums can be planted for the back
row, or seeds may be sown while other
stock is being planted in the boxes. A
great advantage that, nasturtiums have
is that they can be trained to minia-
ture trellis made by two heavy wires

four inches apart, until you reach the

PLANTS FOR WINDOW BOXES

if anything can be as effective as win

they add a charm to the interior Of

realize: They are always disappointed
when leaving those little bits Of ma,

which always make the home more
bright and cheerful.
Window boxes should always be
made to fit the different sized

varying from six to ten inches-eight

of overwhelming. A great many plants
are suited for window boxes, but the
NUNS, lobelias, coleus, petunias, single
and double, hydrangeas, fuchsias for
shady places, and a great many others.
In planting window boxes, avoid over
crowding. Plants ought to be close
enough to very nearly hide the box
and soil. Give strict attention to wa
tering for the reason that so many
plants are confined in such small
tity Of water. AS already mentioned,
window boxes of plants of one color
are the most effective.

Commencement is a merry time. For
a season at least the heavy work Of a
long hard year is laid aside and a
week Of intellectual merry-making is
indulged in. It is net ell merry-mak-

programs presented carry sCme heavy
burdens, but the beauty Of it is that
one by one they discharge the duties
assigned them on program and, when
that duty Is well done. a great burden
rolls of the heart and mind of the
speaker or performer and he or she in
turn becomes the happiest one Of all
the merry lot.
There is a fellowship that springs up
between persons engaged in a com
mon work Of magnitude that Is very
strong and enduring Nowhere is it
stronger or more enduring than among
college students It is keenly felt
when commencement day proclaims
