IOWA COLLEGE, GRINNELL.
Vigorous Efforts Needed to Raise n

Iowa college has passed through fire ana

In order that their combined offers OF
$4,000 and 10000. respectively, may be Sc

volve the raising by the college and its
friends OF $4,000 before that time. OF
this amount 100000 has been pledged by
the trustees, $4,000 by the alumni, $4,000
by the city OF Grinnell and the rest is to
be secured by gifts from the general pub
lie. Trustees and alumni are making good
on their amounts and the city of Grinnell
will undoubtedly come up to its mark, for
IL is loyal to the institution in its midst,
but the question Of the full amount is to
be settled by the general public.

installation OF One of the Largest
Telescopes In the Country.
When the new telescope which is under
construction for the university is COM
pleted, Michigan will have one Of the best
equipped observatorles in the United
states for instruction as we'll as for stellar
photography and speetroscopy.
About two years ago an appropriation
was made for the complete rehabilitation
OF the observatory and the construction
OF a new rejecting telescope which is
now approaching completion. The S7Ss-inch
parabolic mirror has been on rand for
some time, and with the exception of the
tube. most of the working parts Of the
telescope are ready. The dome is we'll ad-
Vanced and the final work of assembling
and adjusting the parts Of the great tele-
scope Will be undertaken very soon.
This telescope in its light gathering
powers will be in the class with the Lick
ana Eerkes refractors. especially for spec
troscoplc Investigations, and for ordinary
astronomical photography It will be more
efficient than a refractor of the same
dimensions, inasmuch as a reflector brings
the light of all wave lengths to the same
focus, while the refractor does not.
When this large telescope is to be used
WI NAC NlbANd lthl lOGdl
length will be sixty feet, very nearly the
mean of the Lick and Yerkes refractors,
as their local lengths are respectively
ffty-seven feet ten inches and sixty-two
feet. 1t will be possible, therefore to use
with the Michigan reflector spectroscopes
or equal power with those employed on the
largest existing refractors.
The huge brick tower and the conner
covered steel dome which will shelter the
instrument are forty feet in diamenter and
rise ~sixty-eight feet above the base
ment floor. A large two-story brick addi-
ton liz feet long and forty-four feet wide
VIII connect this new dome with the pres
ent observatory. and will have offices. a
laboratory and class and computing rooms.
The most complete set of seismographic
instruments in the country will also be in
stalled in the basement OF the building
to record earthquakes and all unusual
motions of the earth.
The accessions to the Libraries of the
University Of Michigan during the year
l9O7-OS were 1S,5O7. The total number of
volumes on June 30, 1908, was 24l, 12s. The
most noteworthy gift was the rare collec-
ton OF dental literature presented by the
widow Of DR.. w. d. Miller, who died as
he was about to enter on the deanship of
the dental college. Not including this gift,
nearly 1000 volumes and pamphlets. besides
a great number of miscellaneous magazines
were presented and more than 1000 volumes
were secured by exchange with other in
stitutions.

The talk of the regents of The state
university creating the office OF finan-
cial chancellor has been very favorably
commented upon during the last week,
though nothing definite has been done
about the matter.
The university has grown to such ar
extent that now IL is the biggest institu-
ton of any kind in the state and requires
more money for its maintenance. The
present Legislature will be asked to APP
propriate in the nelghborhood of $1,000
GOO to meet the expenses of the coming
biennium, and IL is believed that this
money would go much farther IL ex-
pended under the direction of a capable
fnancier who had no other duties TO at
tend to than under the present system.
G. ]. Ernst, who retired some time ago
as president OF the board, said the re-
gents could not look into the bills which
are allowed n paid, but had to depend
upon the recommendations of the ON
ployes of the school. who have other du-
ties to attend to besides watching the
expenditure of this vast amount. AS q
consequence, frequently bills carry the
signature and approval OF the president
OF the board when the latter has not in
vestigated the same.

office to be created. but Mr.. Allen has

the Kearney Normal school, has also beer
mentioned In the sam connection. The

citation which-is4e-b be held at Ames during

the principal Glasses of corn entered in

Another innovation is the adoption Of the
plan OF officially scoring all corn entered.
This official score will be attached to the
entry tag, and will be a great benefit both
to the exhibitors and spectators in COM
pairing various samples.

collection of stock at the college this win

Gently purchased from Truman Bros. will,
together with the horses already owned
by the college, make a superb collection

mare ever imported into this country.

at the college and will be kept here during

well supplied with sheep and hogs, but an
additional carload of prize winners will
be shipped in from the Chandler Bros.
