The University of Wyoming cata.
logue for 19o6-o7 shows a considerable
increase in attendance over last year
There are to be next year some rather
important changes in the work at the
university. The course in the com
mercial school has been separated into
a bookkeeping and a stenograph di-
vision, so that students may specialize
In either of these subjects and at the
same time receive substantial training
along general lines. There has been
added in the college of liberal arts a
political science and history course
which aims particularly to supplement
the commercial courses and to furnish
a complete preparation for solving the
more complicated problems of the bust.
ness world.
May Finish in Seven Years.
Another change and improvement is
the arrangement by which students
who enter the first preparatory year
may complete the preparatory and col
lege courses in eve years. This can
be done in the liberal arts, normal and
commercial departments. Such an ar
rangement is much more practicable
than crowding four years of either col
.lege or preparatory work into three.
The recent Adams appropriation of
congess will materially strengthen the
work of the agricultural college. and
plans are being matured for improving
the Institutional and experimental
work of this department.
Education Is Cheap.
President Butler of Columbia uniyer-
sity, in speaking of the expense of at
tending that university, says that the
minimum expense of a student for one
academic year is $3.50 and that the
average expenses is $640 and that a
liberal allowance is $S75. President
Eliot of Harvard says that at Harvard
the minimum expenses are $456 and
the average 1854. At the University
of Wyoming the minimum is between
S225 and $3.50, and $500 is a liberal al
lowance.
Free Scholarships.
The university has been fortunate
lately in receiving a number of gifts
for prizes and scholarships.
Mr.. E.. j. Bell OF Laramie has offered
two prizes, n of SIS and one of $40.
debating. The prize debate will
probably be between the sophomore
and junior classes.
Mr.. F. H. Eggleston has offered two
prizes, one of SIS and one of $40, for
the best essays on the subject of the
responsibilities of university students
to the university and to the state.
Excellence in Defamation.
Mr.. Otto Gramm has offered two
prizes, M of SIS and one of $40, open
to all members of the university, for
excellence in defamation.
Mrs. Harriet Emmons of Laramie has
given the university 500 for a scholar
ship for students coming to the univer-
sity from outside of Albany county.
This scholarship is offered on the same
terms as the Jones scholarship, which
was recently announced. When Mr..
Jones gave the first $100 he said he
would give the fourth when the second
and third should be secured. The sec
ond is now offered by Mrs. Emmons
and but one is lacking to complete the
fourth.
