Athletic Statistics.

A knocker says. Statistics kept at
Yale in regard TO members of the
senior class show that in a period Of
forty years the average height and
weight of the students has not i'm
proved, in spite of the supposedly
beneficial effects of athletic training"
There are other benefits. surely, to
be derived from participation in ath-
letics than weight and height. If
weight is such necessary adjunct to
health and beauty we know of several
methods now in vogue. which seem
much inferior to athletics, that the
knocker might introduce into Yale
society circles.

The university Is now drawing near
to the home stretch of a very sue
cessful year with a much greater en-
rollment than on any preceding year.
The year has been very progressive
in all lines and the friends of the in
stitution are very gratified at the
showing. One fact of special note is
that of the predominance of an excel
lent spirit in all departments of the
school-this unity and cooperation
being in large way responsible for
the progress of the last nine months.
Perhaps never before in the history
of the university have the Y. w. and
Y. NJ. c. A. organizations been so
thorough and productive in their work
among the students. The moral at
mosphere. the social and church priv
ileges and the location of the univer-
sity make 1t splendid place for the
molding of the lives of the young
people.

The State Uniuersitu

at the next regular meeting on June
18th. On account of the exhorbitant
price demanded by the contractors
there is a strong likelihood that the
work will not be commenced this
year.
The trustees also looked into the
matter of finding new location for
the Law School which for some time
past has been in a very crowded con-
dition. This crowded condition is due
to the growth of the school and also
to the addition of the Cochrane IL
brary which comprises almost 10000
volumes. Several locations were con-
sidered by the trustees and the mat
ter was finally left in the hands of
Dean Bruce to report on. There is
some talk of renting a floor of the
new Elks building or of using the
third floor of the Corliss block. An
other plan put forth is that of adding
a third story to the Sorley building
across from the present location and
using the entire floor for library and
recitation purposes.

Hilborn q Hustler.

Ernest Hilborn, a graduate last year
from the "U," was one Of the high
school principals present at the con-
ference held at the university on Fri
day and Saturday in connection with
the field meet. Mr. Hilborn is now
principal of the high school at Ender-
lin and right here let us remark that
it was an Enderlin high school girl
that won the Defamation contest.
Some OF the places in the athletic meet
were captured also by Enderlin boys.
Mr.. Hilborn certainly is deserving Of
much credit for THE good showing
made by his pupils.

of the most costly prizes at the univer-
sity, was awarded at the last meeting
of the Ad Altiora on Monday night
to Otto Strom of Hillsboro At the
first ballot Mr.. Husband, Paul Grit
fifth, James Learn and s. Johnson also
received votes but the society finally
decided that Mr.. Strom had taken the
most interest in uplifting the society
at the same time making a great inn
provement in his debating and ora
torical delivery, this being another
item taken into consideration for the
award.
The medal itself is a work of art
and is given each year by A. E. Palmer
to the Ad Altiora society. this being
the second one to be awarded. Last
year Frank ]. T. O'Connor was the

Fine Location For Law Students.

The city of Grand Forks is ideally
located so far as the position of the
Law school is concerned as there are
excellent facilities for observing prac-
tice in the state and federal courts.
Each year in Grand Forks, one ses-
sion each of the state supreme court
and the federal district court is held,
and sessions of the state district court
are held monthly during the college
year. This location, together with the
able staff of professors and the valu-
able Cochrane law library and sew
eral other libraries to which the STU
dents have easy access, is partly re-
sponsible for the fine showing made
in the last two years by this depart
ment of the university.

was decided to reject all the bids and
ask for new tenders to be considered

MOnopOlies

The following letter received by

Washington, D. c. Aug. IS 1906
To all Democratic Voters:
If there ever was a time in the
history of the Democratic party fol
the manifestation Of loyalty and
patriotism on the part of its mem
bers, it is right now.
If we are to win a victory and
elect a President two years hence,
we must first elect House of Re-
presentatives this fall. A Demo
cratic House can and will investi
gate every department of the Gov
eminent. With all of them honey
combed by graft" the edges Of
which. only have been touched by
recent exposure and prosecutions,
there will be a demand for a demo
cratic administration to clean the
Government workshop.
To win the House we need to
defray legitimate expenses and
get out our vote. We have no pro.
lection monopolies from which to
draw to fill our Golfers, as they do
those of the Republican party. We
must, therefore, appeal to loyal
Democrats for contributions.
Will you send us 81 at once, and
in return for this we will send you
copies of our campaign literature
as issued by the Committee. You
will have the thanks Of the Demo
cratic party, and fol your favorable
response to our request.
Address all remittances to,
