are here for business. Over 60 young
women enrolled in the domestic sci

many students enter for the regular
term and regular work, some who had
been here one or two years ago, en-
tered again to take up their work
where they left off, and others coming
for the first time.
The new horticultural building, al
though not yet formally accepted by
the board of regents, has been opened
for class use and thus affords a very
great relief. Prof. Dickens classes,
which have been meeting at various
places over the grounds, are now as
signed regularly to the new building.
Prof. Roberts and. the botanical de-
partment are occupying the two floors
of the new building and Prof. Popenoe
moves out of his crowded quarters into
the rooms formerly occupied by the
botanical department, second floor
library building. Prof. McKeever, de-
partment Of psychology and pedagogy,
moves into the, rooms formerly occu-
pied by Prof. Pepenoe and his old
rooms in Anderson hall are now oc
cupied by Director Burkett of the ex-
pertinent station thus putting the adj
ministration offices in the same build
ing.

The first regular class in poultry
ever organized at K. S. A. G. held its
first recitation on Wednesday of this
week This has been made an cleo
tive study and while this first class Is
small, it marks the beginning of what
will be an important class here within
the next few years: No doubt when
it is first offered as a part of the short
course work, it will have large en-
rollment, as the poultry interest in
Kansas is a very Important one.
Prof. Burkett, director of expert
ment station, made two addresses in
Topeka this week, one before the
Live Stock Breeders association ana
the other before the state board of

The domestic science and engineer
ing students are wondering how soon
they can be relieved from being
and damned in recitation
rooms and laboratories. If the COM
ing legislature will see fit to provide
the domestic science and engineering
buildings, it will be a great relief to
these very crowded departments, as
we'll as to all other students in the
college.
