NOTES OF THE UNIVERSITY

The State university begins work this
year on Monday. Sept II. The preliminar-
les incident to the opening have been as
signed 10 the preceding week. entrance
examinations to Sept. and 10. and regis
tration OF students to Sept. II and r. and
since every effort has been made by the
university authorities to impress upon stu
dents the Importance of attending to these
preliminaries upon the days set, II is be-
heVed that this year record will be
made and Classes Will begin upon the day
announced. Monday, the 14th.
A record in the matter of getting start
ed will be a good beginning for the year.
which promises TO break records in
good many directions. An enrolment of
1000 college students and about go high
school students of third and fourth year
grade is the prediction for the year. With
1000 bona fide college students each with
at least four years OF high school work
behind him, the State university may be
said TO be doing its share toward making
Utah and Salt Lake City the great center
of this intermountain region.
Until the recent establishment of the
years of professional work are done, il
was not possible to obtain much legal
training nearer than Michigan or Chi
caso. The field which is open to the new
university law department is open also
to the new university medical department,
In which also two years OF professional
work are done. Through the school of
ought to become a gathering place for
engineering students from all over the
country; through these new departments
II may, and that at no very remote time,
become gathering place for students In
law and medicine from all the west. That
something OF this sort is already taking
place may be plainly seen from a scrut-
inv OF the list of students of last wear.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-08-30

The LIP students enrolled represented
five foreign countries. twenty-slX states
outside of Utah, and every country and
high school and college in Utah.
Another important announcement for the
year about to open is that of advanced
work leading to the degrees of master of
arts and master of science. That the time
is ripe for the offering. of these degrees
Is shown by the fact that a justifiable
number of baccalaureate degree holders
have already made plans 10 return for
the advanced work.
Still another important change which
goes into operation this year is that which
puts the normal school on the same basis
with the other schools of the university
Henceforward the normal school offers
no courses which do not lead to degrees
A certificate. which is a legal lice - to
of five years. will still be issued for two
years OF college-normal work. but no di-
plOma OF graduation will be issued except
Tor four full years of college work This
arrangement will have the effect il is
thought of keeping a large number of
the normal students on through full
college course and of drawing back to
the university to earn their degree many
of those who are forced to leave with only
their certificate. The ARRANGEMENT will
have an important effect also upon stu
dent life. for 1t will at once put the nor
mails into classes, freshmen. sophomores.

mas existed at times in the past that they
We're body apart and were anything but
college students. Petitions to the faculty
from the seniors In the school of arts
and sciences and the school of mines for
separate commencement will hereafter be
groundless.
In all the departments and schools of
the university the outlook is good for a
thoroughly successful wear

down into tine Jackson valley. common
ly called Jackson's hole. In the Jack
son valley George Albert Smith ann
assisted at the dedication OF a new
church house on Sunday, Aug. 16. The
building is a modest brick and UMPIRE
tentious, but we think it marks a long
step forward in the redemption of that
country, country which has so long
had as evil a name as any frontier re-
gion ever had.
IN the Jackson valley are many OPP
portunitles for settlers. There are
chances for stock raising and there is
a large area of tillable land, the soil
of which is adapted to the harder
grains. Our people in the community
are we'll pleased with their lot and
are confident. time goes on and the
country Is cleaned of its riff-raff, that

After leaving the Jackson valley the
party visited number of lakes. includ-

were fortunate enough TO escape the

Relying on Corporations.

This is a clever scheme for evadinc
the federal statute in collecting cam
paign funds. and ii shows that Mr.
Tafts managers are relying on corpor-
alton aid for the conduct of their cam
paign. Following this plan of hat pass
ing, II is reasonable to suppose that
letter Of like kind has been. or will be-
sent to the Standard Oil company with
the expectation of receiving a contri-
button from John d. Rockefeller and
his multi-millionaire associates, who
share in the royalties of the greatest
Of all corporations.
Early in the campaign leading Repub-
licans said II was all right for cor
porations to make campaign contribu-
tons. 1t was their purpose, judging
from the utterances of u party lead
ers, 10 start out for funds IN the reg
ular way. One OF the leading Republi-
cans who defended this method OF fat
frying was none other than George r.
Sheldon. treasurer of the Republican
national committee. Another Repub-
iican authority said II was all righs
for corporations to contribute in a cam
paign. and that they had as much right
to co so as do farmers. whose business
interests might be affected in a local
campaign
