Against Excess in Athletics.
But the faculty Of the university has
taken a strong stand against too much
participation in athletics. At the end OF
last year. when a most successful season
had closed, the official announcement was
made that. as foot ball was practiced it
was the opinion of the faculty too much at
'tention was taken by it from the studies of
the students. and that thereafter the con.
sent OF every parent for the participation of
their children in foot ball would have to be
obtained. If this consent were not OBJ
tained. and the parents wished this form
of sport eliminated, the faculty would see
that their wishes were carried out. The
same general rule applies now to all ath-
letics. The evening hours for rest, study
and preparation are considered an essential
feature of the years work. and the stu
dents will only be allowed out after dinner
Wednesday and Saturday evenings, and
only then when they have maintained an
average Of 60 per cent in their studies.

Advantage in Location.
The greatest advantage of the university
is in its location at the national capital,
where the collections of the nation and the
best specialists in science are always at
the command Of the undergraduate student
or the advanced man who wants to do
original research work BY act OF Congress
all of the national collections are open to
the institutions of higher learning in WASH
ington. and the city presents, as does no
other In the country. a collection of special
libraries unequaled for the student in any
line of work.
But the books that are open to the student
In Washington are not the only Ing of
advantage. All of the scientific depart
ments of the government have special
workers who are unequaled in their various
fields. and whose advice and help on spe-
cial topics can always be obtained.
The courses at the college are graduated
from the preparatory school to the post
graduate work. The aim is to give each
of the students the line of work best suited
to his needs. The diplomas Of the college
are certificates Of merit all over the world.
While the university is sectarian in char
acter, there Is no attempt to impose Its
views on non-Catholic scholars Those OF

FOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
People of Chicago Vote on the
Mayors Propositions.
MAY OWN BUT NOT OPERATE
Three Questions Were Submitted
One of Which Failed to Receive
Required Number of Votes.

Under the result of the city cleo
ton, held in Chicago, in which the
question of municipal ownership of
the street railways was the vital is
sue, the city can proceed to acquire
and control the street railways, but
cannot operate them At the same
time the voters, while declaring that
the city shall not proceed to oper-
ate the railroads, declared that as a
question of public policy it would
be desirable for the city TO do SO.
Three PROPOSITIONS were submitted
TO the voters, the first of which was:
Shall the city of Chicago proceed
to operate street railways? This
proposition required so per cent. of
the total vote cast in order to be-
come effective. The total vote
was 231 III. OF this num-
Der the proposition to proceed to the
railways secured but $4,000 votes,
about 1900 short of the necessary
three-iifths.
The second proposition involved
the approval Of an ordinance pre-
yiOusly passed by the city council
providing for the issue Of street rail
way certificates in amount not to ex-
ceed S75.0O0,000 for the purchase,
ownership and maintenance of the
street railways. This was carried
by about $500 votes.
The third question, which was sim
ply on the question of public policy
and has no legal effect whatever is,
shall the city council proceed without
delay to secure the municipal owner
ship and operation of the street rail
ways under the Mueller law, instead
Of granting franchises to private com
panies? This question was carried by
about $500 votes.
Mayor T.. f. Dunno construes the
passage of the S70,OOO,OOO certificates
and public policy appropriations as
a victory for municipal ownership,
but expressed his disappointment over
the defeat Of the proposition for NUM-
cipal operation.

DUNS WEEKLY SUMMARY

Opening spring trade is not per-

broadens the demand for season

agricultural operations, reopens
Northern navigation and starts many

versies the commercial horizon would
